Senior Software Engineer, Containers

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and ship new features and services for Chainguard Containers, from a one-page design through production and the first week of customer use.
• Own the trade-offs on your work: scope, sequencing, what to cut, and when "good enough to ship" beats "complete". Say so clearly when a plan is at risk.
• Work with AI coding agents as part of how you build, review, and operate, and help the team raise the bar on how it uses them safely.
• Follow a problem wherever it goes: into another team's service, a customer call, a support ticket, or go-to-market data, rather than stopping at the edge of your own repository.
• Keep the systems you touch healthy: observability, on-call, and the fixes that stop the same page from coming back.
• Write clearly and often.
• Design notes, pull request descriptions, and status updates are how a remote team moves fast together.
