About this role
Chainguard is hiring for a Senior Software Engineer, Containers role. See the official posting for full details.
Requirements
- 3+ years building and operating software that paying customers use, preferably at a startup or a company in hyper-growth.
- High agency and urgency. You find a way, you do not wait to be unblocked, and you ask for help early when you are stuck.
- Judgment on trade-offs. You can explain why you chose speed here and rigor there, and you can change your mind when the data says to.
- A systems thinker. You reason about how a change moves through the build pipeline, the registry, and the customer's cluster, and you anticipate what breaks next.
- AI-native in how you work. You use agentic coding tools daily and can show what changed in your output because of them.
- Comfortable with ambiguity. You can pick up a half-defined problem, decide what to build, and pivot when priorities shift.
- Strong fundamentals in a systems language (Go preferred), API design, databases and caching, and cloud infrastructure on GCP or AWS.
- Working knowledge of containers, container registries, the OCI image format (Open Container Initiative, the standard for container images and registries), and Kubernetes.
