Chainguard is a venture-backed software supply-chain security company that delivers hardened, secure, and production-ready builds of open source software. The company serves Fortune 500 enterprises and global leaders including OpenAI, Snap Inc., and Snowflake.
As a Security Engineer on the Cyber Resiliency team, you will design, deploy, and optimize technical controls to detect and prevent security incidents. Key responsibilities include engineering custom detection logic, integrating threat intelligence, automating with SOAR platforms, and designing AI-driven security operations playbooks. You'll contribute to incident response efforts including tabletop exercises, conduct thesis-driven threat hunts across forensic data lakes, and collaborate across teams to integrate security best practices into products and processes.
The role requires a strong technical background with 3+ years of information security or software development experience. Ideal candidates have experience securing cloud-native environments, endpoint detection and response (EDR), and familiarity with macOS or Linux. Experience with automation languages (Go, Python, shell scripts), digital forensics, incident response, and threat intelligence is valued. Offensive security and AI passion are pluses.
You'll work with a high-character team in a collaborative, low-friction security environment. The position includes rotational on-call responsibilities with reasonable, shared workload. Chainguard offers a remote-first culture with bi-annual destination summits, flexible time off, 100% covered health insurance, stock options with 10-year exercise windows, and 18 weeks paid parental leave.
