Senior Technical Support Engineer

• We’re looking for a Senior Technical Support Engineer who’s equal parts problem-solver, translator, and customer hero. You’ll be the go-to person when customers hit snags with Chainguard Images, digging into technical mysteries, keeping folks informed, and partnering with Engineering to squash bugs before they cause chaos
• This isn’t just “reset the password and move on” support: you’ll work on real, complex issues with modern tools (Docker, Kubernetes, Git Hub, Helm charts, Terraform, etc.), make customers feel like superheroes themselves, and help shape how Chainguard delivers world-class support. Serious work, fun team, big impact
• Be the frontline agent:
  Triage, investigate, manage, and annihilate complex customer issues involving Chainguard Images
• Escalate wisely:
  Engage the Engineering team when things get spicy
• Communicate like a pro:
  Keep customers (and your SLAs) happy, informed, and impressed
• Bridge the tech lingo divide:
  Explain things clearly to both code whisperers and non-tech humans
• Document like a librarian:
  Create detailed write-ups of new issues and throw helpful Knowledge Base nuggets into the mix
• Channel your inner detective:
  Prioritize your own queue, drive clarity in communication, and proactively guide issues to resolution
• Speak up smartly:
  Push bugs, feature requests, and hidden gremlins up to Engineering and GTM teams
• Learn, teach, repeat:
  Seek new challenges, share wisdom, and maybe teach someone your favorite Git Hub ninja trick
• Be there when it counts:
  Participate in an on-call rotation for after-hours, weekend, and holiday support

• Equity/stock options
• Unlimited PTO
• Remote work with flexible coworking and team meetup opportunities
• Home office and internet stipend
• 100% health/dental/vision insurance coverage for you and your family
