Employees say:
"So many things make Chainguard unique. I've worked at some truly iconic companies, but I've never had this much fun while also being so productive. Our company value of 'we do serious work, but we don't take ourselves too seriously' is infused into everything we do. We're fully remote, our benefits are also incredible and I feel that I am compensated well for my work. And I love the executive team—they're transparent, open, respect every function, and don't micromanage."

Employees say:
"Chainguard strikes a rare balance between serious technical work and a culture that doesn't take itself too seriously. I’ve worked at three startups before this one, and I’ve never seen this level of mutual trust and clarity of purpose. Leadership is transparent, there's a deep respect for engineers' time and focus, and the customer obsession is real—it’s not just lip service. The cultural pillars aren’t just posters on the wall; they show up in how people communicate, how priorities are set, and how we collaborate across teams."
