[Hiring] Senior Product Manager @Chainguard

Role Description

Chainguard secures the software supply chain, and we're standing up a new team to build a new product inside it. Agents now write a large and growing share of the world's code, and they inherited a CI system designed for humans who push a few times a day. We think CI gets rebuilt for agents, and that's what we're doing.

The product isn't launched, so a job post is the wrong place for the details. What we can tell you now: the team is small, the hard technical pieces already run in production inside Chainguard, and you'd be driving the product direction.

What you'll own:

• Strategy and roadmap: Own the vision, strategy, and roadmap for the product. Decide what we build first, what comes next, and what we're not going to do.
• 0→1 product work: Take this from a system that works for us to a product customers buy and use. Bring structure to problems that don't have any yet, make the tradeoff calls, and get things in front of users before they feel finished.
• How agents actually build software: Go deep on how developers and their agents write, test, review, and ship code today, including the parts nobody blogs about.
• Design partners: Find the teams whose agent fleets are big enough to hurt, get the product into their hands early, and turn what they tell you into priorities.
• Developer experience: Own how the product gets tried, configured, and lived with, so a team can move onto it without running a migration project.
• Launch: Positioning, naming, docs, the pricing model, and the story, with Product Marketing and the rest of Product. You're also the person who says when it's ready.
• Cross-functional leadership: Partner with Engineering, Experience, Product Marketing, and other Product leaders, and keep a small team pointed at the same thing while the space shifts underneath it.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of product management experience on developer-facing, infrastructure, security, or similarly technical products.
• You've built agent tools.
• You know CI from the inside.
• You don't need to be a GitHub Actions expert.
• Experience taking a technical product from an early idea through launch and iteration.
• Comfort with a deeply technical engineering team.
• You talk to developers directly and often.
• You write well.
• You can operate on your own in a fast-moving area with no established playbook.

Nice to haves

• You've run coding agents in production at real volume, or built the systems that keep them from breaking things.
• Experience with developer platforms, build systems, remote execution, or hosted development environments.
• Experience with containers, Kubernetes, registries, or other cloud-native infrastructure.
• You've built security products for developers.
• Experience with products that serve individual developers and large enterprises at the same time.
• You've owned your own team's CI at some point and hated it.

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.
• 100% Covered Health Insurance: We cover 100% of your health, vision and dental insurance premiums for you and your dependents.
• ∞ Flexible Time Off: Take the time you need to recharge and reset.
• 18 Weeks Paid Parental Leave: We offer 18 weeks for birthing parents and 12 weeks for non-birthing parents.
