Job Description

• Design, build, and evolve internal platform services by understanding how Chainguard engineers use shared infrastructure, ensuring our 'Factory' capabilities work seamlessly across the organization. • Implement agent observability by capturing and analyzing structured traces, making AI-driven workflows (like automated CVE remediation) debuggable and reliable in production. • Optimize our monorepo CI/CD pipeline to maintain high-performance DORA metrics, focusing on improving build stability and reducing flake rates. • Master context engineering by validating patterns for agent skills and memory, enabling agents to make consistent decisions across complex engineering workflows. • Contribute to a productivity-driven roadmap with clear outcomes, helping the team prioritize tradeoffs to remove 'shadow production' risks and deliver standardized 'paved road' blueprints.

Job Requirements

5+ years of experience building production services and infrastructure in a modern cloud environment.
Proficiency with Go (Golang) or strong readiness to ramp quickly.
Deep technical expertise in scaling container-based orchestration and workflow engines to automate the software delivery lifecycle, ensuring the underlying 'Factory' infrastructure is as robust as the products it builds.
Familiarity with Agentic AI or automation workflows and a passion to master context engineering (RAG, memory, and tool-calling) to scale AI agents in a production engineering environment.
Excellent communication and collaboration skills, including the ability to work with engineers across the company to identify and automate away repetitive manual tasks.
A genuine interest in a high-paced, high-intensity, “ship it” culture where you’re self-directed, comfortable with ambiguity, and focused on data-driven improvements to product delivery.
