  • Systematically capture and monitor the risk exposure of Chainguard products.

  • Proactively identify emerging customer security needs and build solutions to address them.
  • Lead security architecture reviews and threat models for Kubernetes-based workloads running on GCP and AWS.
  • Harden container images, Kubernetes cluster configurations, and cloud IAM postures to reduce attack surface.
  • Define and drive adoption of baseline security standards including pod security standards, network policies, workload identity, and secrets management.
  • Evaluate and operationalize CNAPP/CSPM tooling to maintain continuous visibility into cloud-native risk.
  • Provide technical leadership and cross-team influence as an individual contributor on hard security problems.

  • Strong proficiency in Go or Python, including the ability to write, review, and debug production-quality code.
  • Deep hands-on experience with Kubernetes in production, including cluster hardening, RBAC, network policies, and admission controllers.
  • Practical expertise with GCP and/or AWS, including IAM, workload identity, secrets management, and security services such as GCP Security Command Center or AWS Security Hub.
  • Proven experience designing and securing CI/CD pipelines using tools such as GitHub Actions, Cloud Build, Tekton, or similar.
  • Fluency in 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 a plus.
  • Contributions to open source security projects are preferred.
  • Background in security research or offensive security, such as bug bounty, CTFs, or penetration testing, is preferred.

Benefits

  • Flexible remote-first culture with team meetup opportunities and bi-annual destination summits.
  • Monthly stipend for coworking spaces, phone, and internet costs.
  • Stock options upon hire and promotion, plus participation in secondary offerings and a 10-year exercise window.
  • 100% company-covered health, vision, and dental insurance for employees and dependents.
