The role, in a nutshell:
We’re looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer to help build and scale our Libraries products, a core part of Chainguard’s mission to secure the software supply chain.
This role sits within the Experience team, the frontline for all new product offerings. The team operates at a rapid pace, launching and iterating on multiple new products each year. You’ll play a key role in taking products from 0→1 and scaling them to thousands of users, with a strong focus on performance, usability, and developer experience.
You’ll own critical areas of the Libraries product, building high-performance interfaces that handle large-scale data while working closely with backend engineers and product partners.
What you’ll do:
- Own and build key parts of the Libraries product UI
- Design and implement high-performance web applications that handle large datasets (millions of packages, versions, and dependencies)
- Partner closely with backend, product, and design to deliver end-to-end features
- Build intuitive workflows that make secure software consumption frictionless for developers
- Contribute to 0→1 product development, rapidly iterating and shipping new features
- Leverage AI-driven workflows to accelerate development and improve product capabilities
- Help shape how developers interact with and trust software supply chains
What we’re looking for:
- 8+ years of experience building modern web applications at scale
- Deep expertise in:
- React
- Material UI (or similar component systems)
- GraphQL
- Experience building high-performance UIs that manage large, complex datasets
- Strong product ownership mindset. You can take a problem space and run with it
- Experience working with modern frontend infrastructure (e.g., Vercel or similar)
- Familiarity with AI-assisted development workflows (e.g., Claude, Copilot, or similar)
- Experience building or integrating AI-driven product features or workflows
- Comfortable operating in fast-moving, ambiguous environments
Nice to Have
- Experience with developer tools, package ecosystems, or registries
- Exposure to software supply chain security or infrastructure products
- Experience building data-heavy or analytics-driven interfaces
- Background in monorepos or large-scale dependency systems
