Senior Technical Program Manager - Remote

Overview

The role, in a nutshell: Great security starts with solid execution. At Chainguard, that means delivering the right outcomes without the chaos. We’re looking for a Senior Technical Program Manager who can help steer important, high-impact initiatives across teams. 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.

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. This is a hands-on role for someone who’s equal parts planner, doer, and communicator. You’ll be building the foundation for how secure software gets delivered at Chainguard and across the industry.

In Short

• 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, 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.

Requirements

• You’ve led cross-functional programs before with ideally 6+ 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.
• Experience working with product security teams and effectively serving as the connector between product security and engineering.
• You know how to influence without authority and bring structure without red tape.

Benefits

• Flexible & Remote-First Culture: Work remotely with team meetup opportunities and a monthly stipend for coworking spaces.
• Our Approach to Equity: Receive stock options upon hire and promotion.
• 100% Covered Health Insurance: We cover 100% of your health, vision and dental insurance premiums.
• ∞ Flexible Time Off: Take the time you need to recharge and reset.
• 18 Weeks Paid Parental Leave: We offer 18 weeks for birthing parents and 12 weeks for non-birthing parents.
