Summary from the posting
Chainguard Containers is our core product, and this team builds it. As a Staff Software Engineer in Container Product Engineering you will design and ship the features, services, and build systems behind Chainguard Containers, and you will lead the small sub-teams of two to four engineers that own them.
Chainguard is growing explosively. Every line of code is now written with AI in the loop, which means the foundation it runs on has to be secure by default. You will build that foundation: the hardened container images, the registry that serves them, and the tooling that lets engineers and AI agents adopt them.
This is a short summary. The full description, requirements and the application form are on Chainguard's own career page.
