[Hiring] Senior Product Manager @Chainguard
Dec 12, 2024 - Chainguard is hiring a remote Senior Product Manager. 💸 Salary: $175,000 - $215,000 usd. 📍Location: USA.
Open Source has taken over the world of software development; however, the largest trade-off still persists: security. Companies spend an enormous amount of time and resources patching and fortifying open source software in order to ship with confidence & compliance.
Founded by the industry's leading experts on open source software, security and cloud native development, Chainguard has built the largest library of open source software that is secure by default. Customers including Snowflake, Canva, and HPE rely on Chainguard to build securely with open source software across the organization.
Chainguard is the safe source for open source.
About Us
We live and breathe our company values:
We are customer obsessed - Our true advantage is the strength of our relationships with customers through collaboration, empathy, and responsiveness. We establish trust as we educate, advocate, and listen to their needs. Our focus is on delivering solutions to our customers that create value and make their lives better.
We have a bias for intentional action - We’re a start-up and we need to move fast. However we need to move fast through intentional action to make sure we’re able to deliver quickly and efficiently on what is most impactful to our collective success. We prioritize, plan, try things, and fail fast. We think about how what we do impacts other teams and communicate our progress - owning the whole solution from start to finish. If we move fast enough, we can make two or three mistakes, learn, and correct them before competitors even make their first decision.
We don’t take ourselves too seriously (but we do serious work) - Though we are solving an important problem which takes focus and a degree of seriousness, we don’t take ourselves too seriously while we do. We laugh, have fun, embrace uniqueness, and enjoy the journey. Together.
We trust each other and assume good intentions - We hire great team members and trust them to do their work. We’re transparent with data, news, and decisions - positive or negative - to empower team members to make well informed decisions. Showing up for each other fully means we celebrate each other’s accomplishments as well as give compassionate direct feedback when needed. We always default to assuming good intentions.
The role, in a nutshell:
We are looking for a Senior Product Manager to oversee the development and improvement of Wolfi, the “distroless” operating system underpinning Chainguard’s secure supply chain products. In this role, you will work alongside other PMs and cross-functional stakeholders to help lead, develop and manage the roadmap and vision. Wolfi is not sold on its own, but via Chainguard Images, and you will work closely with that team to develop a strong understanding of their needs.
You must be able to work through ambiguity to be able to get results. You will leverage your relationships with key internal stakeholders to create clarity and provide prioritized use cases for your engineering partners.
What you’ll do:
- Own the lifecycle, policies and product definition of Chainguard’s “distroless” OS, Wolfi.
- Create written documents that clearly define the problem, proposed and recommended solutions, quantitative and qualitative success measures & targets, cross-functional requirements, and ROI to the business.
- Develop innovative solutions to problems by collaborating as needed across regions, product areas, and functions.
- Own the strategy, roadmap and planning cycles for Wolfi.
- Drive execution against the roadmap.
What we're looking for:
- Technical experience is a must. Either prior experience as a developer, or proven success working with senior technical teams.
- Deep familiarity with OSS operating system distributions, packaging formats & toolchains, covering both low-level components (compilers, parsers, low-level libraries like glibc and openssl, etc.) as well as high-level software (databases, server software, etc.) that might appear in a distribution.
- Knowledge of FIPS 140-3 (Federal Information Processing Standards) cryptography and implications upon an OS distribution is a plus.
- Ability to navigate complex decision-making and effectively communicate across teams.
- Ability to work effectively and efficiently with cross-functional teams and leaders.
- Ability to define crisp requirements, write high-level documents, prepare and present material company-wide, and sell a senior leadership team + executive team on initiatives.
- Excellent written and verbal communication and proven track record with developers-as-customers, hands-on execution and timely delivery.
- Ability to adapt and work in a fast-paced environment.

- Equity/stock options
- Unlimited PTO
- Remote work with flexible coworking and team meetup opportunities
- Home office and internet stipend
- 100% health/dental/vision insurance coverage for you and your family
