We take care of one another
We value every Chainguardian who chooses to join us on this journey and our benefits are how we say “thank you.” Here are a few of the many perks of working at Chainguard:
Remote-first culture
Imagine working with 500 people you’ve never met in person! Don’t worry — we make it easy with team meetup opportunities, bi-annual destination summits, and a monthly stipend for coworking spaces.
100% covered health insurance
100% coverage for health, vision, and dental — for you and your dependents. Yes, really. No fine print. No payroll deductions. Just excellent care, totally on us.
18 weeks paid parental leave
New kid on the block? We’ve got you. All new parents get 12 weeks of paid bonding leave. Birthing parents? Add another 6 weeks for recovery (because, you know, childbirth). You focus on your growing family — we’ll handle the grown-up logistics.
Our approach to equity
Chainguard is a team sport and you’re a part-owner. We grant stock options at hire and promotion, and (brace yourself) you’ll have 10 whole years to exercise them. Yes, 10 years!
