## About the role

We're looking for a Staff Software Engineer to join our Developer Platform team. This team builds the “Factory” that powers Chainguard Engineering. It is the internal infrastructure, automation, and AI tooling that lets our engineers ship secure software at scale.

## What they're looking for

- 8+ years building and operating production services and platform infrastructure in modern cloud environments
- Proficiency with Go (Golang), or strong readiness to ramp quickly
- Deep technical expertise in CI/CD systems, container-based orchestration, and the tooling required to scale a large monorepo across build, test, and release
- Experience contributing to technical direction across multiple teams—evaluating tradeoffs, helping deprecate legacy systems, and building alignment around a target architecture
- Familiarity with Agentic AI / LLM-based automation in production, and an interest in context engineering (RAG, memory, tool-calling) at engineering-platform scale
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills, able to work with engineers across the company to identify and automate away repetitive manual tasks
