We're building a future where security and innovation move in lockstep and every line of code makes software safer, not more vulnerable.
Chainguard is blending unprecedented growth with bold moves. Backed by legendary investors and co-founded by open source pioneers, we’re securing the future of software development and deployment.
At Chainguard, everyone is motivated to make an impact, challenged to run towards difficult, and rewarded for crushing their goals — and we have a blast while doing it.
Our culture & values
Authentic, collaborative, inclusive, bold, and fun—that’s how we roll.
Customer obsessed
We're obsessed with making our customers' lives easier and their software supply chains safer.
Hear it from our customers directly
Bias for intentional action
We prioritize, plan, test, fail, learn, and grow.
We do serious work, but don't take ourselves too seriously
Serious about our mission, playful about everything else.
Trust each other and assume good intentions
Good intentions are our default setting. It's how we build a team that's supportive, collaborative, and fun.
We take care of one another
We value every Chainguardian who chooses to join us on this journey and our benefits are how we say “thank you.” Here are a few of the many perks of working at Chainguard:
Flexible & Remote-First Culture
Imagine working with 500 people you’ve never met in person! Don’t worry — we make it easy with team meetup opportunities, bi-annual destination summits, and a monthly stipend for coworking spaces. We even cover your phone and internet costs.
100% Covered Health Insurance
100% coverage for health, vision, and dental — for you and your dependents. Yes, really. No fine print. No payroll deductions. Just excellent care, totally on us.
18 Weeks Paid Parental Leave
New kid on the block? We’ve got you. All new parents get 12 weeks of paid bonding leave. Birthing parents? Add another 6 weeks for recovery (because, you know, childbirth). You focus on your growing family — we’ll handle the grown-up logistics.
Our Approach to Equity
Chainguard is a team sport and you’re a part-owner. We grant stock options at hire and promotion, and (brace yourself) you’ll have 10 whole years to exercise them. 10 years!
$300 Monthly Wellness Perk
Health is wealth! Spend your wellness stipend on a wide variety of things like gym memberships, massages, food delivery and more.
$18,000 Family Planning Support
Whether your path to parenthood includes adoption, IVF, egg freezing, or surrogacy — we’re here to support. We offer this lifetime reimbursement to help you grow your family, your way.
$1,750 Home Office Setup
Design your own comfortable WFH space. Set up your remote work environment with a one-time home office budget upon joining!
Flexible Time Off
We all need to recharge, so take the time you need. Whether you're off to conquer a mountain or a Netflix marathon from your couch, time off is key to doing your best work and being your best self.
Up to $3,000 in peer spot bonuses annually
See someone crushing it? Recognize fellow Chainguardians for their hard work — and get recognized for yours!
