Chainguard is building the future of secure software supply chains by delivering secure-by-default container images, helm charts, and language libraries alongside developer tools that eliminate vulnerabilities before software reaches production. We partner with cloud providers, technology platforms, and independent software vendors to embed secure-by-default software directly into the tools organizations already build with.
Chainguard's Technology Alliances program partners with CNAPP vendors, cloud providers, CI/CD platforms, artifact repository managers, container and Kubernetes ecosystem vendors, and security and observability tools to make secure-by-default software the path of least resistance for developers. We're looking for a Partner Solutions Engineer (PSE), Technology Alliances to own the technical side of these relationships: architecting integrations, co-engineering joint solutions with partner engineering teams, and turning technology partnerships into products customers can actually deploy together.
This role sits at the intersection of solutions engineering, product, and partner go-to-market — combining hands-on integration work with the relationship-building skills to align two engineering organizations around a shared roadmap.
Our partner engagement model follows the BEPIC framework:
Design, scope, and help build technical integrations between Chainguard and technology alliance partners — cloud marketplaces, CI/CD platforms, container registries, IDEs, and security or observability tooling. Partner with Chainguard product and engineering teams to prioritize and deliver partner-facing APIs, plugins, and joint tooling.
Design reference architectures and solution patterns that show how Chainguard fits end-to-end into a partner's platform. Build demos, sandboxes, and proof-of-concepts that partner and Chainguard sales teams can use to sell the joint story.
Serve as the primary technical point of contact for named technology alliance partners. Align with partner engineering and product leadership on roadmap, integration priorities, and technical dependencies, and represent Chainguard in joint architecture reviews.
Create technical enablement content — architecture docs, playbooks, workshops — that helps partner SEs and Chainguard field teams position and sell the joint solution. Run joint webinars, workshops, and technical briefings with partner teams.
Manage the technical requirements behind cloud marketplace listings (AWS, Azure, GCP) and co-sell programs. Partner with Sales and Partner Managers to support technical validation in partner-sourced and partner-influenced deals.
Be the voice of technology alliance partners inside Chainguard — feeding integration requirements, technical blockers, and roadmap requests back to product and engineering, and broadcasting partner progress to field teams.
If you're passionate about cloud-native technology, open source, security, and building products together with partners, we'd love to hear from you.
