Senior Software Engineer, Containers

Chainguard

Chainguard Containers is our core product, and this team builds it. As a Senior Software Engineer in Container Product Engineering you will design and ship the features, services, and build systems behind Chainguard Containers, working in a small sub-team of two to four engineers that owns one project end to end.

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.
