About Chainguard

Chainguard provides trusted open source artifacts for every layer of your modern software stack—containers, language libraries, and VM images. Backed by General Catalyst, Kleiner Perkins and Lightspeed.

About the role

Chainguard secures the software supply chain, and we're standing up a new team to build a new product inside it.

What they're looking for

  • 5+ years of product management experience on developer-facing, infrastructure, security, or similarly technical products
  • You know CI from the inside. Builds, tests, caches, runners, artifacts, merge gates, and the specific reasons pipelines end up slow, flaky, and expensive. You should have opinions about why
  • You don't need to be a GitHub Actions expert. We're not building a better Actions, and years of workflow YAML isn't the experience we're hiring for. Knowing where it breaks is
  • Experience taking a technical product from an early idea through launch and iteration
  • Judgment about what to leave out. A new product dies from doing too much as easily as from doing too little
  • Comfort with a deeply technical engineering team. You can hold your own in a design discussion and disagree with an engineer about a tradeoff

Agents now write a large and growing share of the world's code, and they inherited a CI system designed for humans who push a few times a day. Write, push, wait in a queue, reinstall the same toolchain, scrape the logs, try again. Agents iterate far more often than people do, so they feel every minute of that, and the workarounds they've grown are worse than the thing they're working around. We don't think the fix is a faster version of the CI you already have. We...
