[Hiring] Senior Software Engineer @Chainguard

Role Description

We’re looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer to help build and scale our Libraries products, a core part of Chainguard’s mission to secure the software supply chain. This role sits within the Experience team, the frontline for all new product offerings. The team operates at a rapid pace, launching and iterating on multiple new products each year. You’ll play a key role in taking products from 0→1 and scaling them to thousands of users, with a strong focus on performance, usability, and developer experience.

You’ll own critical areas of the Libraries product, building high-performance interfaces that handle large-scale data while working closely with backend engineers and product partners.

• Own and build key parts of the Libraries product UI
• Design and implement high-performance web applications that handle large datasets (millions of packages, versions, and dependencies)
• Partner closely with backend, product, and design to deliver end-to-end features
• Build intuitive workflows that make secure software consumption frictionless for developers
• Contribute to 0→1 product development, rapidly iterating and shipping new features
• Leverage AI-driven workflows to accelerate development and improve product capabilities
• Help shape how developers interact with and trust software supply chains

Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience building modern web applications at scale
• Deep expertise in:
  • React
  • Material UI (or similar component systems)
  • GraphQL
• Experience building high-performance UIs that manage large, complex datasets
• Strong product ownership mindset. You can take a problem space and run with it
• Experience working with modern frontend infrastructure (e.g., Vercel or similar)
• Familiarity with AI-assisted development workflows (e.g., Claude, Copilot, or similar)
• Experience building or integrating AI-driven product features or workflows
• Comfortable operating in fast-moving, ambiguous environments

Requirements

• Nice to Have:
  • Experience with developer tools, package ecosystems, or registries
  • Exposure to software supply chain security or infrastructure products
  • Experience building data-heavy or analytics-driven interfaces
  • Background in monorepos or large-scale dependency systems

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.
