Technical Program Manager, Chainguard

• If you’ve worked in fast-moving engineering environments, know how to herd cats without breaking their stride, and can turn ambiguity into momentum, you’ll fit right in
• This is a hands-on role for someone who’s equal parts planner, doer, and communicator
• You’ve led cross-functional programs before with ideally 3+ years in high-growth or technical environments
• You’re technically fluent: maybe you’ve got a degree in Computer Science or just years of real-world experience with engineering teams
• You’ve worked closely with infrastructure, platform, or developer tooling teams and understand how they tick
• You know how to influence without authority and bring structure without red tape

Desirable

• We’re looking for a Technical Program Manager who can help steer important, high-impact initiatives across teams
• You’ll be a key partner to engineering, product, and security teams to keep work unblocked, aligned, and steadily shipping. You’ll translate strategy into motion, and motion into results
• You’ll be building the foundation for how secure software gets delivered at Chainguard and across the industry
• Wrangle complexity: Help break down big ideas and thorny problems into well-scoped, achievable plans
• Drive alignment. Translate vision into shared goals across teams, then keep those efforts focused and moving forward
• Own delivery. From kickoff through launch, you’ll track progress, manage risk, and make sure we ship with confidence
• Bring clarity. Keep stakeholders informed, flag blockers early, and use data to guide decisions when tradeoffs are tough
• Be the duct tape. Work across engineering, product, security, and leadership to keep everyone on the same page
