Security Analyst (Governance and Trust) - Chainguard

Chainguard is the trusted source for open source. By delivering hardened, secure, and production-ready builds of all the open source software engineers and AI agents rely on, Chainguard helps organizations build faster, stay compliant, and eliminate risk.

Our customers include Fortune 500 enterprises and global industry leaders, including Anduril, Canva, Fortinet, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, OpenAI, Snap Inc., and Snowflake.

Chainguard is seeking a Security Analyst (Assurance and Automation) to strengthen how we support customer trust and scale security work through automation. This role combines security assurance operations with the maintenance and governance of AI agents used by the Governance and Trust function.

You will help keep the security information we share with customers accurate, current, and easy to access. You will also maintain the AI agents that support governance and trust workflows—auditing their behavior, updating their knowledge, and helping prevent drift as our business and security practices evolve.

What you’ll do

Security assurance and customer trust

• Maintain and improve the internal corpus of responses used for customer security questionnaires.
• Keep Trust Center content and public go-to-market security materials accurate and up to date.
• Maintain customer-facing security artifacts used during the sales process.
• Ensure security documentation reflects current products, practices, and architecture.
• Establish repeatable processes for reviewing, updating, versioning, and publishing assurance content.
• Identify gaps, inconsistencies, and outdated information before materials are shared with customers.

Automation and AI governance

• Maintain and update AI agents used by the Governance and Trust function.
• Audit agents regularly for accuracy, quality, reliability, and drift.
• Refresh agent instructions, prompts, reference content, and other supporting information as requirements change.
• Help define practical standards for maintaining AI-enabled workflows in a security and governance context.
• Document agent behavior, changes, known limitations, and review outcomes.
• Partner with stakeholders to identify opportunities to improve the reliability and usefulness of AI-assisted security work.

What you’ll bring

• Experience in security assurance, security operations, GRC, customer trust, or a related security function.
• Experience maintaining security questionnaires, Trust Center content, data flow diagrams, audit evidence, or other customer-facing security artifacts.
• Strong attention to detail and a disciplined approach to documentation, version control, and quality review.
• Comfort working with AI models or AI-enabled workflows, including maintaining models or agents rather than building models from scratch.
• Familiarity with prompt engineering, prompt evaluation, or similar techniques for improving AI system performance.
• Ability to assess whether AI-generated outputs are accurate, complete, and aligned with current source information.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate technical and security concepts into clear customer-ready content.
• Ability to work independently in a fast-paced environment and manage multiple priorities.
• Sound judgment, curiosity, and a continuous-improvement mindset.

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience supporting customer security reviews or responding to security questionnaires.
• Experience with Trust Centers, security documentation libraries, or assurance content management.
• Experience auditing AI agents, evaluating prompts, or maintaining retrieval and reference content.
• Familiarity with security governance, risk, compliance, or responsible AI practices.
• Experience creating or maintaining technical artifacts such as data flow diagrams.
