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!

Health is wealth! Spend your wellness stipend on a wide variety of things like gym memberships, massages, food delivery and more.

$18,000 family planning support

Whether your path to parenthood includes adoption, IVF, egg freezing, or surrogacy — we’re here to support. We offer this lifetime reimbursement to help you grow your family, your way.
