Senior Supply Chain Security Engineer

About the Role: Docker is at the center of the AI-driven software development shift, providing secure infrastructure that makes autonomous workflows trustworthy by default. We are looking for a Senior Supply Chain Security Engineer to join the team behind Docker Hardened Images (DHI). In this role, you will work within the container and Kubernetes ecosystems to package and adapt software for security-conscious environments.

What You'll Do

• Author and maintain image definition files that track upstream OSS project releases and keep our catalogue current.
• Adapt upstream Helm charts (cert-manager, grafana, mongodb, etc.) to ensure security constraints and Kubernetes compatibility.
• Track upstream version releases and semver patterns, managing dependency chains and major version breaks.
• Write Go-based integration tests to validate that images and charts behave correctly in real Kubernetes environments.
• Triage CVEs and contribute to security hardening decisions across image layers.

What You Bring

• 6+ years of backend engineering experience with production-grade systems.
• Strong familiarity with the container and Kubernetes ecosystem (deploying/managing tools like Kyverno, Istio, etc.).
• Comfort with YAML as a primary working medium and experience with container security basics (non-root users, image layers, multi-arch builds).
• Basic Go ability (enough to read/write test code) and experience with open-source workflows (PRs, monorepo conventions).
• Bonus: Experience as a package maintainer, Helm chart authorship, or familiarity with supply chain tooling (Sigstore, SBOM, SLSA).

Benefits

• US Salary Range: $154.6K – $250.8K • EU Salary Range: €83.9K – €139.7K.
• Remote-first culture with global distribution and designated quarterly "Whaleness Days".
• Equity in a growing start-up with a comprehensive benefits package (medical, retirement, PTO, etc. varying by country).
• Home office setup, technology stipend, and training budget for conferences and classes.
• 16 weeks of paid parental leave and a flexible, results-oriented working environment.
