Summary from the posting
Chainguard is building the most trusted source for open source software. Every artifact Chainguard distributes is evaluated by our scanner before it reaches a customer. It determines whether a package, container, or AI agent skill is safe to use and sits between our customers and compromised software.
What began as a high-leverage internal system has become a core platform powering Chainguard Libraries, Containers, Agent Skills, and future products. We're hiring a Staff Software Engineer to lead the engineering of that platform.
This is a short summary. The full description, requirements and the application form are on Chainguard's own career page.
