About the role

  • Chainguard is the trusted source for open source.
  • And right now, most corporate IT teams are reacting to it, scrambling to figure out what employees are pasting into ChatGPT while the next model drop quietly changes the rules again.
  • You're going to change that at Chainguard.

Responsibilities

  • Maintain active relationships with Anthropic and OpenAI account teams
  • Own AI platform administration and configuration governance
  • Manage Claude and ChatGPT organizational settings files using Git, version-controlled, reviewed, and deployed like the infrastructure they are
  • Own API key lifecycle management and secrets hygiene for all AI integrations
  • Manage SSO/SCIM provisioning for AI platforms
  • Build financial visibility and usage intelligence
  • Develop token tracking and financial dashboards so leadership actually knows what AI costs us by team, by use case, by month
  • Build anomaly detection on AI spend
  • Maintain active relationships with Anthropic and OpenAI account teams; flag ToS updates, data processing agreement changes, and acceptable use policy shifts before they become surprises
  • Manage SSO/SCIM provisioning for AI platforms; ensure access is tight, auditable, and clean

Requirements

  • 8+ years in security engineering, IT engineering, or a DevOps role with meaningful security responsibility throughout
  • Working knowledge of AI risk factors: prompt injection, data leakage, agentic failure modes, and incident response options when AI systems behave unexpectedly
  • Experience with GCP and Cloud native environments
  • Familiarity with SSO/SCIM provisioning in SaaS-heavy environments (Okta or similar)

Nice to have

  • Background in financial/spend analytics tooling or BI dashboard development
  • Prior experience operating in a governance or compliance-adjacent role (you understand why Governance & Trust exists and you genuinely want to work with them)
  • You've broken an AI integration badly enough to have opinions about how to do it right
  • We live and breathe our company values:
  • We have a bias for intentional action - We prioritize, plan, try things, and fail fast.
  • We trust each other and assume good intentions - We're transparent with decisions to empower team members to make well informed decisions.
  • Plus, you can participate in secondary offerings and have 10 years to exercise your options (yes, you read that correctly: 10 years!).
  • Nothing comes out of your paycheck.

Compensation

  • 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.

  • A few of the benefits we offer:
