📋 Description

• Lead, mentor, and coach our trailblazing Cyber Resiliency team, including in areas like cloud security engineering, threat detection and response (TDR) team, and incident readiness. Can you lead this talented team to new heights? • Own and evolve incident readiness: Design best-in-class 24/7 detection and lightning-fast response processes that leave attackers looking for easier targets. • Supercharge our detection toolset. Assess and implement the latest defensive tech (traditional and new school) so we can detect, disrupt, and contain threats at machine speed before your second coffee. • Partner cross-functionally with Engineering, Product Security, and SRE to weave security best practices into every nook and cranny of our product and tech pipeline. • Engage externally with partners, customers, and auditors, representing Chainguard’s security posture and communicating with calm confidence even on “interesting” days. • Stay plugged in to the wild world of threat intelligence, new adversary tactics, and all the cutting-edge tricks. Channel that knowledge to inform strategy and strengthen our defenses.

🎯 Requirements

• Leadership for you means inspiring optimism, building trust, and making your team feel empowered to deliver the best possible results. • You’ve built and led high-performing TDR, SOC, or threat hunting teams, especially in cloud-native or enterprise settings. If you have stories about cloud incidents that end happily ever after, we’re listening. • You have Level 999 Wizard abilities in designing and scaling detection and prevention mechanisms in AWS, GCP, Azure, and modern CI/CD land. • Incident response, cloud forensics, and tracking down sneaky modern-day digital troublemakers aren’t just on your resume they fuel your curiosity. • Communication is your superpower. You can translate “zero day” into “don’t worry” for execs, engineers, and customers alike. • Intrinsic curiosity, proactive action, and the ability to juggle multiple projects are your bread and butter. Multitasking stress dreams? You call those “Thursday.” • Bonus points for automation chops (Go, Python, Shell, or a script of your own invention) and enthusiasm for compliance checklists. You may be on a first-name basis with various frameworks.

🏖️ Benefits

• Flexible & Remote-First Culture: Work remotely with team meetup opportunities, bi-annual destination summits, and a monthly stipend for coworking spaces, phone and internet costs. • Our Approach to Equity: Receive stock options upon hire and promotion. Plus, you can participate in secondary offerings and have 10 years to exercise your options (yes, you read that correctly: 10 years!). • 100% Covered Health Insurance: We cover 100% of your health, vision and dental insurance premiums for you and your dependents. Nothing comes out of your paycheck. • ∞ Flexible Time Off: Take the time you need – to do our best work, we need to recharge and reset. • 18 Weeks Paid Parental Leave: We offer 18 weeks for birthing parents and 12 weeks for non-birthing parents, with the option to use it all at once or throughout your child's first year.
