The Role
Ready to trade security headaches for the satisfaction of outsmarting cyber threats and having a little fun along the way?
At Chainguard, you’ll design and deploy innovative technical controls, lead incident response efforts, and push the boundaries of what’s possible in cloud-native security. Your work empowers Chainguardians to perform at their best while raising the security bar for the entire industry.
If you’re driven by curiosity, thrive in fast-moving environments, and want to make a meaningful impact on the open source ecosystem, this is your chance. Even if your experience doesn’t meet every requirement, we encourage you to apply.
What You’ll Do
- Engineer and deploy clever controls so security incidents stay rare and boring
- Lead incident response efforts, including tabletop exercises
- Integrate security best practices with product teams who appreciate memes as much as mitigations
- Conduct security assessments and penetration tests- bring your inner hacker
- Automate detection and response workflows using Go, Python, or Shell, mostly so you can spend less time yelling at logs and more time celebrating wins
- Stay one step ahead of emerging security threats
- This position includes rotational on-call responsibilities; Not brutal- the workload is reasonable and shared across the team.
What We’re Looking For
- 5+ years’ experience in software development, security, or a related field
- Experience and passion identifying, developing, and integrating threat intelligence into meaningful detection engineering and preventative controls
- Experience securing cloud-native environments and endpoint detection & response
- Familiarity with macOS or Linux security controls
- Independent work style and strong communication skills
- Experience with security frameworks: SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST
- Experience with open source software or red-teaming is a plus
