Job Description
Senior Software Engineer, Platform
Chainguard
• Design, build, and evolve internal platform services by understanding how Chainguard engineers use shared infrastructure, ensuring our 'Factory' capabilities work seamlessly across the organization. • Implement agent observability by capturing and analyzing structured traces, making AI-driven workflows (like automated CVE remediation) debuggable and reliable in production. • Optimize our monorepo CI/CD pipeline to maintain high-performance DORA metrics, focusing on improving build stability and reducing flake rates. • Master context engineering by validating patterns for agent skills and memory, enabling agents to make consistent decisions across complex engineering workflows. • Contribute to a productivity-driven roadmap with clear outcomes, helping the team prioritize tradeoffs to remove 'shadow production' risks and deliver standardized 'paved road' blueprints.
Job Requirements
- 5+ years of experience building production services and infrastructure in a modern cloud environment.
- Proficiency with Go (Golang) or strong readiness to ramp quickly.
- Deep technical expertise in scaling container-based orchestration and workflow engines to automate the software delivery lifecycle, ensuring the underlying 'Factory' infrastructure is as robust as the products it builds.
- Familiarity with Agentic AI or automation workflows and a passion to master context engineering (RAG, memory, and tool-calling) to scale AI agents in a production engineering environment.
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills, including the ability to work with engineers across the company to identify and automate away repetitive manual tasks.
- A genuine interest in a high-paced, high-intensity, “ship it” culture where you’re self-directed, comfortable with ambiguity, and focused on data-driven improvements to product delivery.
Benefits
- Flexible & Remote-First Culture: Work remotely with team meetup opportunities, bi-annual destination summits, and a monthly stipend for coworking spaces, phone and internet costs.
- Our Approach to Equity: Receive stock options upon hire and promotion. Plus, you can participate in secondary offerings and have 10 years to exercise your options (yes, you read that correctly: 10 years!).
- 100% Covered Health Insurance: We cover 100% of your health, vision and dental insurance premiums for you and your dependents. Nothing comes out of your paycheck.
- ∞ Flexible Time Off: Take the time you need – to do our best work, we need to recharge and reset.
- 18 Weeks Paid Parental Leave: We offer 18 weeks for birthing parents and 12 weeks for non-birthing parents, with the option to use it all at once or throughout your child's first year.
