Senior Software Engineer developing architectures and implementations for Chainguard's library platform. Leading secure, reliable software builds and automation of workflows across various ecosystems.
Responsibilities
Lead the design and implementation of core components of the Libraries Platform including the services, pipelines, and package index that power secure, reproducible build, test, and distribution workflows for libraries across multiple ecosystems (Java, JavaScript, Python/AI/ML).
Design and maintain automation for artifact creation, updates, and verification, including vulnerability scanning, remediation workflows, SBOM and provenance generation, and policy enforcement across our library catalog.
Build and operate shared platform services such as package indexes, registry mirrors, metadata services, and orchestration tooling that serve both external customers and internal ecosystem teams.
Develop internal developer tools and CLIs (often in Go) that improve how we build, test, and ship libraries at scale, including integration with build systems and CI/CD for multiple ecosystems.
Drive reliability, scalability, and observability for the Libraries platform: define SLOs, build monitoring and alerting, and lead incident response and post‑incident improvements.
Solve complex dependency and build issues in production environments, from toolchain and compiler problems to CI/CD flakiness and registry/package index edge cases.
Partner closely with ecosystem teams (Java, JavaScript, Python/AI/ML), Platform, Delivery, Sustaining, and Security to ensure the platform meets reliability, security, and product requirements.
Mentor and unblock other engineers through design reviews, documentation, and hands‑on debugging, helping to “code culture” into how we build and run our libraries platform.
Requirements
5+ years designing, building, and operating infrastructure for language ecosystems or developer platforms, such as build systems, package registries, or CI/CD for widely used libraries or services.
Strong proficiency in Go (Golang) or strong readiness to ramp quickly.
Proven track record building and owning developer tooling and automation (plugins, CLIs, code generators, or custom pipelines) that improve how engineers build and ship software at scale.
Strong background in CI/CD, cloud‑native infrastructure, and IaC: containers (Docker/OCI, Kubernetes), public cloud (GCP, AWS, Azure), and tools like Terraform and GitHub Actions/Argo/Tekton (or equivalents).
Demonstrated ability to debug and resolve complex toolchain, compiler, packaging, and infrastructure failures in production, and to drive those issues to root cause and lasting fixes.
Comfortable working across SRE / platform / DevOps style responsibilities, including reliability, observability, and performance tuning for critical services and pipelines.
Excellent communication in a remote, distributed environment, with a bias toward documentation, clarity, and collaboration across product, infra, and security teams.
An ownership mindset: you set technical direction, own critical outcomes, and are comfortable in an early, high‑impact area where engineers help shape both the roadmap and the culture.
