hn-hiring
Chainguard is the trusted source for open source. We build hardened, minimal, continuously-updated images, libraries, and packages that eliminate vulnerabilities before they ship — used by teams at Anduril, Canva, OpenAI, Snap, and Snowflake, among others.
We're hiring a PM to own the malware and greyware scanning engine inside Chainguard Repository — the system that analyzes source code, build behavior, and maintainer activity across the open source packages flowing through our platform to catch compromised or malicious artifacts before they reach a customer's environment. You'd own the roadmap for detection coverage, scanner accuracy (precision/recall trade-offs are the daily grind), and how findings get surfaced to security teams and translated into policy enforcement. Close partnership with our detection engineering and threat research teams, and with customers who are increasingly asking "how do you know this package is safe?"
Good fit if you've done PM work on a detection, fraud, spam, or security scanning system before, are comfortable being hands-on with data and false-positive/false-negative trade-offs, and want to work on a problem that's getting more urgent as AI agents pull in more open source dependencies automatically.
