The role, in a nutshell: Chainguard is securing the open source software supply chain, the infrastructure every modern engineering team depends on.
We're growing fast, and how we hire technical talent will define the shape of our engineering and product organizations for years to come.
We're looking for a Technical Recruiting Manager who can raise the bar on technical hiring, build the infrastructure that doesn't exist yet, and operate as a genuine thought partner to our CPO, Head of Engineering, and CISO.
If you've watched an engineering org double in size and know exactly what breaks at that inflection point, this is your role.
What you'll do Lead and develop a team of technical recruiters: coach for quality over throughput, hold a high bar on technical screening and debrief quality, and invest in each person's growth, including those who are already strong.
Partner directly with engineering and product leadership: build trusted working relationships with our CPO, Head of Engineering, and Head of Security; push back constructively when you disagree; bring data and honest assessments to every conversation.
Standardize technical interviewer training: build a program that's practical and low-lift for interviewers and tied to real calibration outcomes for the engineers who interview frequently at Chainguard.
