Staff Software Engineer (Repository)
Chainguard · United States - Remote
About this role
**Chainguard — Staff Software Engineer (Repository)** Chainguard is the trusted source for open source. We deliver hardened, secure, production-ready builds of the open source software engineers and AI agents rely on—helping organizations build faster, stay compliant, and eliminate risk. Our customers include Fortune 500 enterprises and global industry leaders. --- ## The role If you’re excited by the idea of building the trusted front door to secure open source software, this role is for you. The **Repository** team owns the customer-facing infrastructure that serves libraries today and is laying the foundation for a unified repository experience across more artifact types over time (including **containers** and **APKs**). You’ll help lead the architecture and implementation of Repository core systems: **package registries, APIs, and production services** that securely serve artifacts to customers at **high scale** and **high reliability**. This is an infrastructure-heavy backend role at the intersection of software engineering and production infrastructure—writing **Go** services, building and operating customer-facing systems, improving **reliability and performance**, and shaping how Repository expands beyond Libraries into a broader artifact platform. --- ## What you’ll do - Own the technical direction for key parts of Chainguard Repository, including customer-facing registries, APIs, and serving systems. - Design, build, and operate high-availability backend services in **Go** for libraries today and future artifact types (containers/images/APKs). - Lead work on **scalability, reliability, observability, and load testing** for production systems customers depend on. - Drive technical decisions around repository architecture, service boundaries, and operational patterns for artifact-serving infrastructure at scale. - Partner across Chainguard to create a cohesive repository experience and expand support for more artifact types over time. - Mentor engineers, raise the bar on design and code review, and act as a force multiplier in a fast-moving team. --- ## What we’re looking for - **8+ years** building and operating production backend or infrastructure systems, with clear evidence of **staff-level ownership** and **technical leadership**.
