Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with a strong track record sourcing and closing top-tier Product & Engineering talent
- Proven ability to partner with senior leaders or founders on high-priority, high-visibility hires
- Deep sourcing expertise — able to build pipelines for hard-to-fill and competitive roles, not just work inbound flow
- Skilled at navigating global hiring challenges — time zones, regulations, and local market dynamics
- A trusted advisor to hiring managers and a thoughtful, respectful partner to candidates
- Adaptable, curious, and energized by helping a startup expand globally
- Agile and detail-oriented, thriving in a fast-paced environment
- Proven commitment to hiring diverse, top-tier talent
- Bonus if you're excited about open source, security, or finding great talent in unconventional places
What the job involves
- Run full-cycle recruitment searches for primarily Product & Engineering roles across the U.S., with the flexibility to support hiring across our international business as needed
- Partner with senior leaders and founders to define roles, align on hiring priorities, and set clear expectations for what "great" looks like globally
- Build and manage pipelines that anticipate growth in domestic and international markets, drawing on an established network of top tech talent
- Deliver a consistent, candidate-first experience across time zones and geographies
- Advise leadership on talent trends, compensation benchmarking, and recruiting strategy at a market-expert level
- Design and improve recruiting processes so they scale effectively across regions while staying human and flexible
Our take
Developers rely on open source code and apps in their day to day work, but when the provenance of the code is unknown this creates potential weaknesses that cybercriminals can exploit. Chainguard exists to build security into the coding supply chain by making it possible for companies to enforce security policies based on auditable signatures baked into the code.
In the wake of huge cyber attacks, software supply chain security has been an area of major focus. However, most of this has surrounded the scanning and detection of threats. Chainguard's approach comes from the other end of the process, focusing on building security into the software itself.
Built by former engineers who are aware of developer workloads, Chainguard is designed to be easily installed and integrated into existing automation systems. The company has secured substantial funding, the latest of which will support more aggressive product and R&D spending as it looks to further boost sales.
