## About the role

You are a deeply technical engineer who gets restless when pipelines aren't locked down. You care about shipping secure software! At Chainguard, you won't be a gate at the end of the process; you'll be embedded in it.

## What they're looking for

- 5+ years in software engineering, security engineering, or a combined role with meaningful hands-on security responsibility throughout
- Strong proficiency in Go or Python, with the ability to write, review, and debug production-quality code
- Deep, hands-on experience with Kubernetes in production (cluster hardening, RBAC, network policies, admission controllers)
- Practical expertise with GCP and/or AWS: IAM, workload identity, secrets management, security services (e.g., GCP Security Command Center, AWS Security Hub)
- Proven track record designing and securing CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Cloud Build, Tekton, or similar)
- Fluency with container security: image scanning, distroless/minimal base images, runtime security
