Our mission is to make the software supply chain secure by default. Our users include platform teams, SREs, and security engineers at some of the world’s most sophisticated engineering organizations
- This role is central to translating the technical depth of our products into content, tools, and messaging that resonates with practitioners and technical decision-makers.
- You'll work cross-functionally with product, engineering, sales, and marketing to bring clarity, credibility, and momentum to how we show up in the market
- Develop messaging and positioning to show how Chainguard helps engineering and security teams secure their software supply chains, and clearly communicate the value to technical decision-makers and practitioners
- Partner with technical enablement and field teams on technical training, certification and tools for the field, iterating with feedback to ensure successful product launches and momentum
- Scope, build, and run the technical components of product launches (e.g., technical blogs, demos, diagrams, webinars, tutorials)
- Create high-impact technical content and tools—including solution briefs, in-depth blog posts, recorded demos, videos, and technical white papers
- Conduct detailed technical competitive research and translate findings into internal tools (battlecards, matrices) and external content (positioning pages, objection handling)
- Support demand generation and DevRel efforts by building technical narratives and assets that move prospects through the funnel
- Collaborate closely with product and engineering teams to align messaging with product direction, ensuring we stay ahead of emerging market needs
- Engage with customers and users regularly to gather insights, test positioning, and understand real-world use cases and pain points
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, and by providing a security-first set of container images with no known vulnerabilities for cloud app developers.
In the wake of huge cyber attacks like the Log4j vulnerability and Solarwinds breach, software supply chain security has been an area of major focus for startups hoping to solve problems in this sector. However, most of these focus on scanning and detection of threats. Chainguard's approach comes from the other end of the process, focusing on building security into the software itself. It was built by former Google engineers aware of software developers existing workloads, so is designed to be easily installed and integrated into existing automation systems like Terraform.
Chainguard completed a Series C funding round led by Lightspeed Ventures in 2024, minting it as a new Unicorn on the cybersecurity scene. It is using this funding to expand its go-to-market internationally and expand its Chainguard Images product.
