  • Fluency with container security, including image scanning, distroless or minimal base images, and runtime security.
  • Experience with software supply chain security tooling and frameworks such as Sigstore, SLSA, and SBOM generation.
  • Solid understanding of OWASP, NIST, and cloud security frameworks and how to apply them pragmatically.
  • Familiarity with Chainguard Images or other minimal/hardened container base image ecosystems is preferred.
  • Experience with policy-as-code tools such as OPA, Kyverno, or Conftest is preferred.

  • Stock options upon hire and promotion, with participation in secondary offerings and 10 years to exercise options.
