Senior Product Manager (Repository)

Chainguard

4d • Remote

About The Position

Chainguard is building the most trusted source for open source software, and Chainguard Repository is at the center of that mission. We're looking for a Senior Product Manager to own the product strategy and execution for Chainguard's Unified Repository — a single, trusted repository where developers and enterprises can access all Chainguard artifacts across libraries, containers, APKs, and more. This is a high-impact, zero-to-one opportunity. You'll be shaping a product that sits at the intersection of developer experience, supply chain security, and platform growth, at a moment when the market is actively consolidating around exactly what we're building.

Requirements

• 5+ years of PM experience, with a track record in developer tools, infrastructure, or security
• Shipped PLG or developer-facing products with both free and enterprise tiers
• Working knowledge of the software supply chain — package managers, registries, artifact management, OSS distribution
• Comfortable with ambiguity; can make sequencing calls and defend them
• Strong cross-functional operator who can align engineering, design, sales, and legal around one roadmap
• Zero-to-one experience with real customer discovery and iterative validation
• Technical credibility — you don't need to write code, but you can hold your own with engineers on infrastructure, security, and developer tooling

Nice To Haves

• Hands-on experience with a major package ecosystem (npm, PyPI, Maven, Go, etc.)
• Background in security, compliance, or enterprise platform products
• Prior work on registries, artifact stores, or developer onboarding flows
• Familiarity with usage-based / consumption pricing models

Responsibilities

• Define and drive the roadmap for the Unified Repository across a rapidly expanding artifact scope.
• Make deliberate sequencing calls that balance enterprise requirements, developer adoption, and platform scale.
• Own the milestone framework from initial launch through enterprise GA.
• Build a product-led growth motion that earns developer adoption early and converts to paid over time.
• Design free, pay-as-you-go, and enterprise tiers so top-of-funnel activation is high and upgrade paths feel natural.
• Sweat onboarding, habitual usage, and every point of friction.
• Partner with Engineering, Experience, and GTM to move fast without breaking trust.
• Drive resolution on the hard questions — and pull the right people in at the right time.
• Ship the features enterprise customers need to adopt Chainguard with confidence.
• Work shoulder-to-shoulder with GTM and prioritize against real market urgency, not internal preference.

Benefits

• Flexible & Remote-First Culture: Work remotely with team meetup opportunities, bi-annual destination summits, and a monthly stipend for coworking spaces, phone and internet costs.
• Receive stock options upon hire and promotion. Plus, you can participate in secondary offerings and have 10 years to exercise your options.
• 100% Covered Health Insurance: We cover 100% of your health, vision and dental insurance premiums for you and your dependents. Nothing comes out of your paycheck.
• ∞ Flexible Time Off: Take the time you need – to do our best work, we need to recharge and reset.
• 18 Weeks Paid Parental Leave: We offer 18 weeks for birthing parents and 12 weeks for non-birthing parents, with the option to use it all at once or throughout your child's first year.
