Senior Product Manager (Repository)

Chainguard is the trusted source for open source, delivering hardened, secure builds of open source software. They are seeking a Senior Product Manager to own the product strategy and execution for Chainguard's Unified Repository, focusing on developer experience and supply chain security.

Responsibilities:

• 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
• 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
• 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
• 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

Requirements:

• 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
• 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
