The Role

At Chainguard, we're on a mission to change how the world builds and secures software, and we need a Senior Recruiter to help us grow. Your work will directly shape our sales organization across the Americas, from building the reps and leaders who open new accounts to hiring the talent that drives revenue growth. You'll own searches end to end, partner closely with hiring managers and sales leaders, and ensure every candidate walks away with a strong impression of Chainguard. This role is about building high-performing sales teams that fuel our growth, not just filling seats.

What You'll Do

• Run full-cycle searches for go-to-market (GTM) roles across AMER, from AEs to sales leadership.
• Partner with sales leaders to define roles, align on hiring priorities, and set clear expectations for what "great" looks like.
• Build and manage pipelines that anticipate growth across the AMER sales org.
• Deliver a consistent, candidate-first experience throughout the interview process.
• Provide insights on sales talent trends, compensation, and recruiting strategies.
• Adapt and improve recruiting processes so they scale effectively as the team grows, while staying human and flexible.

What We're Looking For

• Strong experience recruiting primarily for GTM/sales roles, ideally within SaaS, security, or dev tools.
• Proven ability to partner with senior leaders on high-priority hires.
• Skilled at assessing sales talent — reading for MEDDPICC fluency, quota attainment, and sales acumen.
• Comfortable building and evolving recruiting processes as the team scales.
• A trusted advisor to hiring managers and a thoughtful, respectful partner to candidates.
• Adaptable, curious, and energized by helping a startup scale its go-to-market engine.
• Bonus if you're excited about open source, security, or finding great talent in unconventional places.

About Us

We live and breathe our company values:

• We are customer obsessed — We focus on delivering solutions to our customers that create value and make their lives better.
• We have a bias for intentional action — We prioritize, plan, try things, and fail fast.
• We don't take ourselves too seriously (but we do serious work) — We are solving an important problem which takes focus, but we also like to enjoy the journey.
• We trust each other and assume good intentions — We're transparent with decisions to empower team members to make well informed decisions.

A few of the benefits we offer:

• Flexible & Remote-First Culture: Work remotely with team meetup opportunities, bi-annual destination summits, and a monthly stipend for coworking spaces, phone and internet costs.
• Our Approach to Equity: Receive stock options upon hire and promotion. Plus, you can participate in secondary offerings and have 10 years to exercise your options (yes, you read that correctly: 10 years!).
• 100% Covered Health Insurance: We cover 100% of your health, vision and dental insurance premiums for you and your dependents. Nothing comes out of your paycheck.
• ∞ Flexible Time Off: Take the time you need – to do our best work, we need to recharge and reset.
• 18 Weeks Paid Parental Leave: We offer 18 weeks for birthing parents and 12 weeks for non-birthing parents, with the option to use it all at once or throughout your child's first year.

If your experience is close but doesn't fulfill all requirements, please apply. We're building the best team in technology and are focused on hiring "Chainguardians" with unique backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences.
