Senior PM, Chainguard Repository The role, in a nutshell: 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. What you’ll own: Product strategy & sequencing. 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. Developer experience & PLG. 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. Cross-functional leadership . 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. GTM readiness . 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. What We're Looking For: 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 Explore Our Work Dive into the practical side of what we do at Chainguard.
