We are a globally distributed, remote-first team building the tools that define how software gets built and delivered. As AI agents redefine software development, Docker is at the center of that shift, providing the sandboxed environments, verified images, and secure infrastructure that make autonomous workflows trustworthy by default.
_______________________________________________________________________
The Secure Build team builds and operates the infrastructure behind Docker's container builds. The team owns Docker Build Cloud and Auto Builds while developing the next generation of trusted build and CI capabilities.
Software is being changed faster than ever, but CI remains a bottleneck and a major trust boundary. Developers and software agents need to run build and test work quickly without exposing secrets, losing local-to-cloud parity or accepting an unverifiable result. Our direction is to make Docker the trusted place CI runs and turn that constraint into an accelerator.
The technical work spans Go services, container and build technology, cloud infrastructure, isolated execution and software supply-chain security. It also requires disciplined operation of the production systems customers rely on today. Docker Build Cloud and Auto Builds will need targeted reliability and operational improvements while useful capabilities evolve towards a coherent Secure Build platform.
As a Senior Software Engineer, you will turn these problems into practical product and technical outcomes. You will own substantial work from discovery and design through production, make sound security and reliability trade-offs, and stay close to the experience of developers and the agents they delegate work to.
We make extensive use of AI-assisted engineering tools. We expect engineers to use them thoughtfully, validate their output and remain accountable for the quality and security of what ships.
You will succeed by becoming an end-to-end owner for secure, reliable build infrastructure. Within your first year, you should have delivered a material secure-build or CI capability, reduced operational risk in Docker Build Cloud or Auto Builds, and become a trusted partner to the teams and customers that consume the platform.

_______________________________________________________________________
Docker is shipping a wave of new products this year, and we’re investing heavily in the platform underneath all of it. That platform supports hundreds of engineers and carries high-scale production traffic every day — and it has grown faster than its foundations. This year is about closing that gap.
Right now, too much of that work leans on a handful of experts unblocking the same provisioning and operational workflows by hand. The top priority for this role is turning that into paved roads: self-service systems with clear ownership, safe defaults, strong guardrails, and adoption we can measure — a platform teams trust enough to stop thinking about, so they can focus on their products instead of ours.
The concrete goal is on this year’s roadmap: spinning up a new region or application environment should take hours, not days. Getting there means building real multi-region, cross-account networking and a continuous-deployment flow teams can trust, then a self-service layer on top. We’re the container company building our own internal platform, so the bar for the easy path also being the safe path is high.
You’d join a team of four, growing to seven this year — this is one of those hires. We’re looking for a senior engineer who can own significant parts of this platform end to end, drive projects to real production adoption, and raise how the whole team builds.
_______________________________________________________________________
This is a senior, deeply hands-on role. You’ll own significant components, drive projects from design through production adoption, and shape the platform’s technical direction while helping teammates grow. Concretely, you will:
Turn ambiguous infrastructure problems into clear designs and working systems — contributing to RFCs and architecture reviews, and driving your projects to done.
Build self-service capabilities and platform APIs (primarily in Go) for onboarding, provisioning, deployment, observability defaults, and day-2 operations — with contracts and docs teams actually use.
Apply and help shape delivery standards with Terraform, GitOps on Argo CD, progressive rollout, and strong testing — including the continuous-deployment flow we’re missing today.
Strengthen the multi-tenant EKS foundations for reliability, security, scale, and cost: Envoy Gateway ingress, traffic routing, and multi-region, cross-account connectivity.
Improve SLOs, alerting, and incident follow-up on Grafana Cloud so production gets safer and less dependent on heroics.
We measure this work by outcomes the consuming teams feel: how fast they can provision and ship, how much they can do without us, and how reliably it all runs.
We’re investing in AI-assisted and agentic workflows to cut operational toil, and we care that they stay safe, auditable, and human-reviewed. You’ll help shape where they earn their place and where they don’t. Early targets:
Alert enrichment and incident context-gathering: assembling the relevant signals, history, and runbook so the on-call engineer starts with context instead of a blank page.
Runbook-assisted diagnosis and remediation recommendations, with a human in the loop on anything that changes production.
Onboarding and readiness assistants that answer the questions our experts answer today.
If you’ve built operational automation and have a healthy skepticism about where automation belongs, this is a place to put both to work.
Operational ownership is part of the job. You’ll join the rotation after onboarding and shadowing, and help improve on-call itself: better alerts, stronger runbooks, less toil, and blameless postmortems aimed at prevention.
_______________________________________________________________________
6+ years of hands-on software engineering in backend, infrastructure, or platform engineering, though we weight real depth and impact more heavily than exact tenure.
Strong software engineering in Go or a similar language: design, testing, debugging, review, and long-term maintainability.
A track record of building, shipping, and operating cloud services or infrastructure in production.
Deep expertise in at least one of Kubernetes, networking, cloud platforms, reliability engineering, or developer platforms — plus solid Linux and production-ops fundamentals.
Experience shaping technical direction and working effectively across teams.
Clear written and verbal communication in a remote environment (RFCs, design docs, incident writeups).
Bachelor’s in CS/Engineering or equivalent practical experience.
Nice to have: EKS and ingress/CNI/service-mesh experience; observability with OpenTelemetry/Prometheus/Grafana; CI/CD and progressive delivery (GitHub Actions, Argo CD, canaries); driving migrations or adoption programs across teams.
You don’t need every item here. We value strong systems judgment, real depth in at least one area, and curiosity across the rest.
_______________________________________________________________________
First 30 days
Build context, meet partner teams, ship your first change, and shadow on-call.
First 90 days
Own a meaningful platform component or project with a clear plan and metrics, and take an improvement from design to production.
One-year outlook
Own a significant part of the platform and become a go-to for it — contributing to a major cross-team initiative (for example, self-service provisioning of new regions and environments, or the multi-region networking and CD foundations behind it) and establishing durable patterns your team relies on.

From solo founders to the world's largest companies, developers rely on Docker to build, share, and run their applications across our suite of products including Docker Desktop, Docker Hub, and Docker Scout.
We are a globally distributed, remote-first team building the tools that define how software gets built and delivered. As AI agents redefine software development, Docker is at the center of that shift, providing the sandboxed environments, verified images, and secure infrastructure that make autonomous workflows trustworthy by default.
_______________________________________________________________________
We're building AI-native development practices into how this team works at a foundational level. That means infrastructure design needs to account for a new kind of collaborator: AI agents that generate, deploy, and operate software. The Senior Software Engineer, Billing on this team will keep systems running, help define what safe, observable, AI-assisted infrastructure operations look like in practice, and model that standard for the rest of the team.
_______________________________________________________________________
The Billing Platform Engineering team owns the systems that make Docker's commercial model real. You'll work on problems like:
How do we design infrastructure that makes AI-generated deployments safe to ship and easy to roll back?
How do we instrument billing systems so that failures — billing miscalculations, entitlement gaps, payment errors — are detected immediately and unambiguously?
How do we build infrastructure that scales with usage-based billing workloads without manual intervention?
How do we make the developer experience on this team faster and more reliable — local environments, CI/CD pipelines, deployment tooling?_______________________________________________________________________
Own and evolve the infrastructure supporting Billing Platform services: compute, storage, networking, CI/CD, and observability
Design and maintain IaC (Terraform) for billing system infrastructure on AWS; contribute to module patterns and standards for the team
Build and own observability systems — metrics, logging, alerting — with a focus on billing accuracy and payment reliability
Implement deployment patterns and runbooks that work well in an AI-agent-assisted development workflow: clear rollback procedures, safe promotion gates, automated validation
Partner with software engineers on service design — bringing infrastructure constraints and operational requirements into the conversation before code is written
Identify systemic risks in the team's systems and drive improvements, including work that reaches into adjacent teams or services
Participate in incident response for billing system issues. This role may require participation in an on-call rotation to provide support outside of standard business hours, including evenings, weekends, and holidays, as needed.
Mentor engineers on the team; your technical judgment should help raise the bar for how the team builds and operates
_______________________________________________________________________
6+ years in platform, infrastructure, or SRE roles supporting production SaaS systems at scale
Strong AWS expertise: ECS or EKS, RDS (Postgres preferred), networking, IAM, cost management — you've operated these systems under real load and real incidents
Strong Terraform skills; you've built reusable module patterns and can improve the ones a team relies on
Experience building and owning observability stacks (Datadog, Grafana, or similar) for production services — not just using them
Strong familiarity with CI/CD systems — Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or equivalent — including pipeline design and developer experience
Kubernetes at an operational and architectural level
A track record of identifying systemic risks and driving improvements within your team and adjacent systems
Security-first mindset: threat modeling, blast radius analysis, least-privilege by default, audit trails as a design requirement
Strong written English; clear written communication is how you scale your work across the team
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
Operational ownership is part of the job. You’ll join the rotation after onboarding and shadowing, and help improve on-call itself: better alerts, stronger runbooks, less toil, and blameless postmortems aimed at prevention.
You don't wait for problems to be handed to you — you find them, frame them, and drive the solution. You've operated at a scope where your decisions affected the systems your team owns, and you know how to build alignment and move work forward without direct authority. You've thought seriously about what infrastructure needs to look like when AI agents are generating and shipping code — safe deployment patterns, strong observability, clean rollback — and you want to help define that standard here. Experience with billing, payments, or financial systems infrastructure is a meaningful plus.
_______________________________________________________________________
First 30 days
You will ship code in your first week. We run an agent-first development workflow — infrastructure changes start with a plan, specifications are written before generation, and every change is reviewed before it merges — and onboarding is no exception. You will get hands-on with the infrastructure supporting Billing Platform services early, shadow on-call, and build a clear picture of the system before you start making bigger changes. By the end of 30 days you will have shipped real work and know where the most important problems are.
First 90 days
You will have taken ownership of one or more infrastructure components and delivered an improvement from design to production with measurable impact. You will be an active participant in deployment and reliability discussions, bringing infrastructure constraints and operational requirements into the conversation early — before code is written. You will be a full participant in the on-call rotation and will be contributing to the team's technical direction.
One year outlook
You will be one of the team's go-to engineers on billing infrastructure. You will have driven meaningful improvements to observability, deployment safety, or platform reliability — and your work will be directly visible in the resilience and correctness of systems that handle real financial transactions for millions of Docker users. You will have helped define what AI-agent-assisted infrastructure operations look like done right.

As AI agents redefine software development, Docker is at the center of that shift, providing the sandboxed environments, verified images, and secure infrastructure that make autonomous workflows trustworthy by default.
_______________________________________________________________________
You are a software engineer who cares deeply about security. Embedded in the Desktop engineering team, you will bring an engineering-first perspective to the security of a complex, cross-platform product built at the intersection of identity, OCI runtimes, and Linux kernel internals. You will read and write Go, participate in feature development, and make security a first-class concern from the inside out: not as an outside reviewer, but as a contributing member of the team.
This role is for someone who is primarily a builder, and who applies that builder’s instinct to making Docker Desktop more secure by default.
_______________________________________________________________________
Contribute to the Docker Desktop codebase in Go, with a focus on security-sensitive areas such as authentication flows, privilege boundaries, and container runtime behavior.
Participate in design and code reviews across the team, bringing a security perspective to features before they ship.
Conduct threat modeling and security design reviews for new and evolving product features, with particular focus on authentication, authorization, and container runtime security.
Serve as the team’s primary liaison to the organization’s security group, attending security syncs and translating central policy into practical engineering decisions.
Act as the first point of contact for incoming vulnerability reports and CVEs: validate severity, reproduce issues, coordinate disclosure timelines, and drive remediation with the relevant engineers.
Develop and maintain internal security documentation, guidelines, and runbooks for the team.
Stay current on the Linux security landscape as it pertains to containers: namespaces, cgroups, seccomp, AppArmor, capabilities, and the evolving OCI ecosystem.
_______________________________________________________________________
6+ years of software engineering experience, with meaningful exposure to security-sensitive systems or a strong personal interest in security.
Strong proficiency in Go, with a track record of writing and shipping production-grade code.
Solid understanding of Linux fundamentals relevant to container security: namespaces, cgroups, capabilities, seccomp profiles, AppArmor/SELinux, rootless containers, and privilege boundaries.
Familiarity with OCI specifications and container runtime internals.
Working knowledge of identity and access management concepts: OAuth 2.0, OIDC, token handling, and auth flows in desktop or cloud-adjacent contexts.
Comfort participating in security design reviews and threat modeling, even if security has not been your primary title.
Familiarity with vulnerability management processes: CVE triage, CVSS scoring, coordinated disclosure, and working with external reporters.
Strong written and verbal communication skills; comfortable bridging the gap between a dedicated security team and a product engineering team.
_______________________________________________________________________
You will onboard into the team and get hands-on with the Docker Desktop codebase, architecture, and development workflow. You will meet your counterparts in the central security organization and learn how vulnerability reports are currently handled. The goal is to listen, ask questions, and build a clear picture of the product’s current security posture, not to change anything yet.
You will be an active contributor, writing and reviewing Go code and bringing a security lens to features in flight. You will have taken ownership of the vulnerability intake process, handling your first end-to-end triage cycles with minimal guidance. You will have a working relationship with the engineers on the team and a growing sense of where the most meaningful security investments should be made.
You will be a trusted contributor to both the product and its security posture. You will have shipped meaningful improvements directly to the codebase, whether to auth flows, container isolation defaults, or other security-sensitive areas, and driven better security practices across the team’s development lifecycle. Your work will be directly visible in the security and resilience of a product used by millions of developers every day.

","descriptionPlain":"ABOUT DOCKER\n\nDocker has been one of the most loved brands in developer tooling, trusted by more than 20 million monthly users and over 20 billion container image pulls. From solo founders to the world's largest companies, developers rely on Docker to build, share, and run their applications across our suite of products including Docker Desktop, Docker Hub, and Docker Scout.\n\nWe are a globally distributed, remote-first team building the tools that define how software gets built and delivered. As AI agents redefine software development, Docker is at the center of that shift, providing the sandboxed environments, verified images, and secure infrastructure that make autonomous workflows trustworthy by default.\n\n_______________________________________________________________________\n\n\n\n\nTHE ROLE\n\nYou are a software engineer who cares deeply about security. Embedded in the Desktop engineering team, you will bring an engineering-first perspective to the security of a complex, cross-platform product built at the intersection of identity, OCI runtimes, and Linux kernel internals. You will read and write Go, participate in feature development, and make security a first-class concern from the inside out: not as an outside reviewer, but as a contributing member of the team.\n\n\n\nThis role is for someone who is primarily a builder, and who applies that builder’s instinct to making Docker Desktop more secure by default.\n\n_______________________________________________________________________\n\n\n\n\n\nRESPONSIBILITIES\n\n - Contribute to the Docker Desktop codebase in Go, with a focus on security-sensitive areas such as authentication flows, privilege boundaries, and container runtime behavior.\n\n - Participate in design and code reviews across the team, bringing a security perspective to features before they ship.\n\n - Conduct threat modeling and security design reviews for new and evolving product features, with particular focus on authentication, authorization, and container runtime security.\n\n - Serve as the team’s primary liaison to the organization’s security group, attending security syncs and translating central policy into practical engineering decisions.\n\n - Act as the first point of contact for incoming vulnerability reports and CVEs: validate severity, reproduce issues, coordinate disclosure timelines, and drive remediation with the relevant engineers.\n\n - Develop and maintain internal security documentation, guidelines, and runbooks for the team.\n\n - Stay current on the Linux security landscape as it pertains to containers: namespaces, cgroups, seccomp, AppArmor, capabilities, and the evolving OCI ecosystem.\n\n _______________________________________________________________________\n\n\n\n\nQUALIFICATIONS\n\n - 6+ years of software engineering experience, with meaningful exposure to security-sensitive systems or a strong personal interest in security.\n\n - Strong proficiency in Go, with a track record of writing and shipping production-grade code.\n\n - Solid understanding of Linux fundamentals relevant to container security: namespaces, cgroups, capabilities, seccomp profiles, AppArmor/SELinux, rootless containers, and privilege boundaries.\n\n - Familiarity with OCI specifications and container runtime internals.\n\n - Working knowledge of identity and access management concepts: OAuth 2.0, OIDC, token handling, and auth flows in desktop or cloud-adjacent contexts.\n\n - Comfort participating in security design reviews and threat modeling, even if security has not been your primary title.\n\n - Familiarity with vulnerability management processes: CVE triage, CVSS scoring, coordinated disclosure, and working with external reporters.\n\n - Strong written and verbal communication skills; comfortable bridging the gap between a dedicated security team and a product engineering team.\n\n_______________________________________________________________________\n\n\n\n\nWHAT TO EXPECT\n\n\nFIRST 30 DAYS\n\n - You will onboard into the team and get hands-on with the Docker Desktop codebase, architecture, and development workflow. You will meet your counterparts in the central security organization and learn how vulnerability reports are currently handled. The goal is to listen, ask questions, and build a clear picture of the product’s current security posture, not to change anything yet.\n\n\nFIRST 90 DAYS\n\n - You will be an active contributor, writing and reviewing Go code and bringing a security lens to features in flight. You will have taken ownership of the vulnerability intake process, handling your first end-to-end triage cycles with minimal guidance. You will have a working relationship with the engineers on the team and a growing sense of where the most meaningful security investments should be made.\n\n\nONE YEAR OUTLOOK (FIRST YEAR)\n\n - You will be a trusted contributor to both the product and its security posture. You will have shipped meaningful improvements directly to the codebase, whether to auth flows, container isolation defaults, or other security-sensitive areas, and driven better security practices across the team’s development lifecycle. Your work will be directly visible in the security and resilience of a product used by millions of developers every day.\n\n\n\nVisa sponsorship: Docker considers visa sponsorship on a case-by-case basis based on business needs.\n\n_______________________________________________________________________\n\n\n\n\nCOMPENSATION & EQUITY\n\nAll full-time roles include equity. Final compensation is determined on factors including but not limited to experience, skills, qualifications, and location.\n\n\n\nCanada: CA$271,150 – CA$434,000 base\n\nUnited States: $194,150 – $312,950 base\n\nEurope: €113,860 – €186,780 base\n\n______________________________________________________________________\n\n\n\n\nPOSTING INFORMATION\n\n - Open vacancy: This posting is for an existing open role.\n\n - AI in hiring: Docker may use AI-assisted tools during our recruiting process.\n\n - Interview recordings: Candidates will be invited to opt in to interview recordings to support interviewer calibration and consistent evaluations.

The DHI Content team builds and maintains Docker Hardened Images: a catalogue of security-hardened system packages, container images and Helm charts designed to be minimal, up to date and safe to use in security-conscious and regulated environments.
This is a supply-chain and open-source maintainer role rather than a conventional backend engineering role. You will work across upstream OSS projects, package and image definitions, Helm charts, Kubernetes, integration tests, vulnerability remediation and the controls that prove content is ready to publish. The work is broad by design: customers should be able to select hardened packages and images and, where relevant, deploy them through hardened charts without the pieces drifting apart.
We are moving DHI content production towards a machine-first factory. Routine work should begin with a machine-produced change and pass through automated build, test, policy and review controls. Engineers add the most value by handling difficult ecosystems, making security judgements, improving standards and turning repeated human corrections into better tooling. You will use AI-assisted engineering extensively, but remain accountable for the evidence and quality behind every result.
As a Senior Supply Chain Security Engineer, you will own substantial content and improvement work from upstream discovery through release and ongoing maintenance. You will be expected to close the loop on customer and security outcomes, not only submit individual definition changes.
You will succeed by becoming a trusted end-to-end owner for hardened content. Within your first year, you should have delivered complex new or updated DHI content across packages, images and Helm charts, improved the factory or its quality gates, reduced recurring manual work and raised the capability of the engineers around you.
_______________________________________________________________________
Author and maintain definitions for hardened system packages and container images, including build steps, upstream tracking, multi-architecture support and reproducibility controls.
Adapt and maintain upstream Helm charts so they work correctly with DHI images under non-root, restricted and production-shaped Kubernetes security constraints.
Track upstream releases, semver patterns, monorepos, dependency chains and breaking changes, then make pragmatic decisions about when to update, patch, pin or deviate.
Triage and remediate vulnerabilities across OS packages, application dependencies, images and charts, including VEX and no-upstream-fix cases that require explicit security judgement.
Write and improve Go-based integration tests, validators and policy checks that prove packages, images and charts behave correctly in real environments.
Review human-authored and machine-authored pull requests against DHI standards, distinguish blocking issues from advice and give contributors a clear path forward.
Improve the DHI Factory by converting repeated work, review corrections and escaped defects into automation, tests, validators and reusable authoring patterns.
Help classify work into deterministic, specialist and judgement paths so people spend time where their expertise changes the outcome.
Partner with Product, Security, Support and customer-facing teams to turn demand and incidents into prioritised content and durable improvements.
Engage constructively with upstream maintainers when hardened deployment requirements expose issues or useful improvements.
Participate in the team's paid on-call rotation and drive learning from customer escalations, failed builds and content defects.
Communicate decisions, risks and progress clearly in a remote, async-first environment.
_______________________________________________________________________
Strong experience with containers, Linux and Kubernetes in production or production-shaped environments.
Practical experience reading, adapting or maintaining Helm charts and diagnosing how chart templates, values and workload security settings affect deployment behaviour.
Experience maintaining software you did not originate, such as Linux packages, container images, open-source integrations, charts or a comparable downstream distribution.
Strong YAML and configuration-review skills, including care for conventions, consistency and downstream impact across a large catalogue.
Working knowledge of container and Kubernetes security, including non-root execution, UID and GID, capabilities, filesystem restrictions, image layers and multi-architecture builds.
Practical programming ability in Go or a comparable language, sufficient to write and review integration tests, validators and content automation.
Experience tracking upstream releases and reasoning about semver, breaking changes, dependency graphs and reproducible builds.
A maintainer mindset: you catch drift, improve patterns for the next contributor and consider the effect of a change across many downstream consumers.
Familiarity with GitHub-heavy open-source workflows, including pull requests, review, release tracking and upstream contribution.
Comfort using AI-assisted engineering critically while retaining ownership of security assertions, test evidence and release quality.
A strong operational mindset and clear written and spoken communication suited to a remote, async-first company.
Experience as a maintainer for Alpine, Debian, Fedora, Wolfi, Homebrew or another package ecosystem.
Helm chart authorship or meaningful contribution to an upstream chart.
Experience with SBOMs, VEX, SLSA, Sigstore, cosign, provenance or artefact signing.
Experience with apk, deb, rpm, Go modules, Maven or Gradle, npm, pip, Cargo or other dependency ecosystems.
Experience building automation for package, image or chart creation, validation and release.
Experience with FIPS, FedRAMP, PCI or other regulated and security-conscious environments.
_______________________________________________________________________
Build context on the DHI catalogue, its package, image and chart definitions, the DHI Factory and the team's definition of done.
Pair across both image and Helm chart work and ship a useful production change.

Docker Hardened Images (DHI) is Docker's catalogue of security-hardened, enterprise-grade container images and Helm charts, built to be minimal, up-to-date, and safe to deploy in regulated and security-conscious environments. We're looking for a Principal Software Engineer to set the long-term technical direction for this catalogue and shape how the broader container security ecosystem evolves inside and beyond Docker.
At this level, you'll work across organizations, not just within one team. You'll set direction for major domains, resolve the highest-ambiguity problems in container supply chain security, and grow your impact through architectural leadership, cross-functional alignment, and influence on industry standards. This is a pure individual contributor role; influence comes through technical vision, design, and the ability to move organizations.
_______________________________________________________________________
Own the architecture for DHI as a platform, making high-leverage decisions that define how images and Helm charts are authored, secured, distributed, and evolved across the entire catalogue and across Docker's broader product surface.
Define and drive multi-quarter technical roadmaps for the container hardening domain, balancing upstream velocity, supply chain security posture, customer compliance requirements, and long-term catalogue scalability.
Identify systemic patterns from customer, operational, and upstream signals and translate them into architectural changes that span the catalogue, not just individual images or charts.
Build alignment across teams and executives on technical strategy, tradeoffs, and sequencing, including product, security, infrastructure, and customer-facing functions.
Represent Docker as a trusted technical voice in escalations, key enterprise customer engagements, and upstream OSS communities on issues that shape the future of secure container delivery.
Set conventions and standards at scale, defining the patterns others build within for image definition, Helm chart adaptation, hardening strategy, and supply chain tooling (Sigstore, SBOM, SLSA), and evolving those standards as the ecosystem changes.
Drive the hardest, most ambiguous packaging problems where the right answer requires reasoning across upstream dynamics, security tradeoffs, multi-arch constraints, and customer impact simultaneously.
Shape the integration test infrastructure and developer tooling strategy so that DHI's engineering platform scales with the catalogue and raises quality across the team.
Mentor and raise the technical ceiling for staff and senior engineers across the org, through review, design, and well-chosen architectural decisions that create durable leverage.
Take part in the paid on-call rotation; respond to incidents, debug production issues, and drive systemic improvements in reliability.
_______________________________________________________________________
10+ years of backend engineering experience, including extensive work on production-grade, distributed systems at scale.
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
Ability to set multi-quarter technical roadmaps and align stakeholders (engineering, product, and executives) on strategy and tradeoffs.
Deep expertise in the container and Kubernetes ecosystem: you have strong, grounded opinions about cert-manager, kyverno, grafana, istio, and similar projects, and you can reason about tradeoffs at the ecosystem level, not just the image level.
Mastery of container supply chain security concepts (provenance, attestation, SBOM, signing, SLSA) and experience driving posture decisions across an organization rather than implementing them on a single project.
Strong software engineering fundamentals: code review, testing, source control, CI/CD, and Go sufficient to shape infrastructure and harness design.
Track record of technical influence without authority across multiple teams or organizations, raising quality through design docs, standards, review, and mentorship.
Experience navigating upstream OSS communities as a decision-maker, representing a downstream organization's requirements and shaping upstream direction on security-relevant issues.
Comfort working across remote, distributed teams and communicating complex technical strategy clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
Experience as a package maintainer at a Linux distribution, Homebrew, or comparable ecosystem.
Hands-on experience implementing or operationalizing supply chain tooling (Sigstore, SBOM, SLSA) at org scale.
Experience in regulated environments (FedRAMP, FIPS, PCI) with direct exposure to compliance requirements shaping engineering decisions.
Prior Principal or Distinguished IC experience on a platform, security, or developer-tools team.
Experience engaging directly with enterprise customers on container security architecture.
_______________________________________________________________________
Align with leadership on the most critical org-wide technical risks and opportunities in container supply chain security.
Develop a point of view on DHI's current architectural constraints and where the highest-leverage interventions are.
Begin mapping the cross-functional landscape: product priorities, upstream pressures, customer compliance signals, and engineering gaps.
Drive an architectural decision that unblocks multiple teams and reduces systemic risk across the catalogue.
Establish a feedback loop from customer, operational, and upstream signals into the multi-quarter roadmap.
Engage upstream OSS communities on at least one DHI-relevant issue with meaningful influence on direction.
Deliver a major platform or standards evolution with broad adoption across DHI and adjacent teams.

","descriptionPlain":"ABOUT DOCKER\n\nDocker has been one of the most loved brands in developer tooling, trusted by more than 20 million monthly users and over 20 billion container image pulls. From solo founders to the world's largest companies, developers rely on Docker to build, share, and run their applications across our suite of products including Docker Desktop, Docker Hub, and Docker Scout.\n\nWe are a globally distributed, remote-first team building the tools that define how software gets built and delivered. As AI agents redefine software development, Docker is at the center of that shift, providing the sandboxed environments, verified images, and secure infrastructure that make autonomous workflows trustworthy by default.\n\n_______________________________________________________________________\n\n\n\n\nTHE ROLE\n\nDocker Hardened Images (DHI) is Docker's catalogue of security-hardened, enterprise-grade container images and Helm charts, built to be minimal, up-to-date, and safe to deploy in regulated and security-conscious environments. We're looking for a Principal Software Engineer to set the long-term technical direction for this catalogue and shape how the broader container security ecosystem evolves inside and beyond Docker.\n\n\n\nAt this level, you'll work across organizations, not just within one team. You'll set direction for major domains, resolve the highest-ambiguity problems in container supply chain security, and grow your impact through architectural leadership, cross-functional alignment, and influence on industry standards. This is a pure individual contributor role; influence comes through technical vision, design, and the ability to move organizations.\n\n_______________________________________________________________________\n\n\n\n\nRESPONSIBILITIES\n\n - Own the architecture for DHI as a platform, making high-leverage decisions that define how images and Helm charts are authored, secured, distributed, and evolved across the entire catalogue and across Docker's broader product surface.\n\n - Define and drive multi-quarter technical roadmaps for the container hardening domain, balancing upstream velocity, supply chain security posture, customer compliance requirements, and long-term catalogue scalability.\n\n - Identify systemic patterns from customer, operational, and upstream signals and translate them into architectural changes that span the catalogue, not just individual images or charts.\n\n - Build alignment across teams and executives on technical strategy, tradeoffs, and sequencing, including product, security, infrastructure, and customer-facing functions.\n\n - Represent Docker as a trusted technical voice in escalations, key enterprise customer engagements, and upstream OSS communities on issues that shape the future of secure container delivery.\n\n - Set conventions and standards at scale, defining the patterns others build within for image definition, Helm chart adaptation, hardening strategy, and supply chain tooling (Sigstore, SBOM, SLSA), and evolving those standards as the ecosystem changes.\n\n - Drive the hardest, most ambiguous packaging problems where the right answer requires reasoning across upstream dynamics, security tradeoffs, multi-arch constraints, and customer impact simultaneously.\n\n - Shape the integration test infrastructure and developer tooling strategy so that DHI's engineering platform scales with the catalogue and raises quality across the team.\n\n - Mentor and raise the technical ceiling for staff and senior engineers across the org, through review, design, and well-chosen architectural decisions that create durable leverage.\n\n - Take part in the paid on-call rotation; respond to incidents, debug production issues, and drive systemic improvements in reliability.\n\n_______________________________________________________________________\n\n\n\n\nQUALIFICATIONS\n\n - 10+ years of backend engineering experience, including extensive work on production-grade, distributed systems at scale.\n\n - Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.\n\n - Ability to set multi-quarter technical roadmaps and align stakeholders (engineering, product, and executives) on strategy and tradeoffs.\n\n - Deep expertise in the container and Kubernetes ecosystem: you have strong, grounded opinions about cert-manager, kyverno, grafana, istio, and similar projects, and you can reason about tradeoffs at the ecosystem level, not just the image level.\n\n - Mastery of container supply chain security concepts (provenance, attestation, SBOM, signing, SLSA) and experience driving posture decisions across an organization rather than implementing them on a single project.\n\n - Strong software engineering fundamentals: code review, testing, source control, CI/CD, and Go sufficient to shape infrastructure and harness design.\n\n - Track record of technical influence without authority across multiple teams or organizations, raising quality through design docs, standards, review, and mentorship.\n\n - Experience navigating upstream OSS communities as a decision-maker, representing a downstream organization's requirements and shaping upstream direction on security-relevant issues.\n\n - Comfort working across remote, distributed teams and communicating complex technical strategy clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.\n\n\nBONUS BUT NOT REQUIRED\n\n - Experience as a package maintainer at a Linux distribution, Homebrew, or comparable ecosystem.\n\n - Hands-on experience implementing or operationalizing supply chain tooling (Sigstore, SBOM, SLSA) at org scale.\n\n - Experience in regulated environments (FedRAMP, FIPS, PCI) with direct exposure to compliance requirements shaping engineering decisions.\n\n - Prior Principal or Distinguished IC experience on a platform, security, or developer-tools team.\n\n - Experience engaging directly with enterprise customers on container security architecture.\n\n_______________________________________________________________________\n\n\n\n\nWHAT TO EXPECT\n\n\nFIRST 30 DAYS\n\n - Align with leadership on the most critical org-wide technical risks and opportunities in container supply chain security.\n\n - Develop a point of view on DHI's current architectural constraints and where the highest-leverage interventions are.\n\n - Begin mapping the cross-functional landscape: product priorities, upstream pressures, customer compliance signals, and engineering gaps.\n\n\nFIRST 90 DAYS\n\n - Drive an architectural decision that unblocks multiple teams and reduces systemic risk across the catalogue.\n\n - Establish a feedback loop from customer, operational, and upstream signals into the multi-quarter roadmap.\n\n - Engage upstream OSS communities on at least one DHI-relevant issue with meaningful influence on direction.\n\n\nFIRST YEAR\n\n - Deliver a major platform or standards evolution with broad adoption across DHI and adjacent teams.\n\n - Create durable alignment across engineering, product, and security on catalogue architecture, supply chain posture, and hardening strategy.\n\n - Raise the technical ceiling for the engineers around you, measurably improving review quality, architectural consistency, and the team's ability to operate independently at a higher level.\n\n\n\nVisa sponsorship: Docker considers visa sponsorship on a case-by-case basis based on business needs.\n\n_______________________________________________________________________\n\n\n\n\nCOMPENSATION & EQUITY\n\nAll full-time roles include equity.

_______________________________________________________________________
Docker is shipping a wave of new products this year, with R&D initiatives likely to lead to more, and we're investing heavily in the platform underneath all of it. That platform supports hundreds of engineers across many development teams and carries high-scale production traffic and data transfer every day. It has grown faster than its foundations, and this year is about closing that gap.
Today, much of that work still leans on a handful of experts unblocking the same provisioning and operational workflows by hand. The top priority for this role is moving that work from expert-driven support to paved roads: self-service systems with clear ownership, safe defaults, strong guardrails, and adoption we can measure. The goal is a platform teams trust enough to stop thinking about it, one that just works, so they can focus on their own products instead of ours.
The concrete version sits on this year's roadmap: spinning up a new global region or application environment should take hours, not days. Right now it takes days. Getting there means building the foundations underneath it. We need a real multi-region, cross-account network architecture and a testing and continuous-deployment flow teams can trust, then a self-service layer on top.
We're the container company building our own internal platform, so the bar for \"the easy path is also the safe path\" is high. You'd be joining a team of four, growing to seven this year (this is one of those hires), and we're looking for a Staff engineer to set technical direction and lead it through real production adoption.
_______________________________________________________________________
This is a Staff-level role, so success is measured by leverage rather than just your own commits. On a team this size you'll stay hands-on in the codebase while also setting direction, aligning teams on pragmatic standards, and carrying platform investments through to adoption. Concretely, you will:
Take ambiguous infrastructure problems and turn them into proposals the org can rally around, then drive them through RFCs and architecture reviews across teams.
Design self-service capabilities and platform APIs (primarily in Go) for onboarding, provisioning, deployment, observability defaults, and day-2 operations, with contracts and docs teams actually use.
Set delivery standards using Terraform, GitOps with Argo CD, progressive rollout, and good testing, including building the continuous-deployment flow we're missing today.
Evolve the multi-tenant EKS foundations toward better reliability, security, scale, and cost: Envoy Gateway ingress, traffic routing, and the multi-region, cross-account connectivity we need.
Improve SLOs, alerting, and incident follow-up on Grafana Cloud so production gets safer and less dependent on heroics.
We judge this work by outcomes the consuming teams feel: how fast they can provision and ship, how much they can do without us, and how reliably it all runs.
We're actively investing in AI-assisted and agentic workflows to cut operational toil. We care that they stay safe, auditable, and human-reviewed. You'll help shape where these earn their place and where they don't. Early targets include:
Alert enrichment and incident context-gathering: assembling the relevant signals, history, and runbook so the on-call engineer starts with context instead of a blank page.
Runbook-assisted diagnosis and remediation recommendations, with a human in the loop on anything that changes production.
Onboarding and readiness assistants that answer the questions our experts answer today.
If you've built operational automation and have a healthy skepticism about where automation belongs, this is a place to put both to work.
Operational ownership is part of the job. You'll join the rotation after onboarding and shadowing. As a Staff engineer, you'll also improve the health of on-call itself, with better alerts, stronger runbooks, less toil, and blameless postmortems aimed at prevention.
_______________________________________________________________________
8+ years of professional, hands-on, full-time software engineering experience in backend, infrastructure, or platform engineering.
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
Strong software engineering in Go or a similar language: design, testing, debugging, review, long-term maintainability.
A track record designing, shipping, and operating cloud services or infrastructure platforms in production. We hire for skill and impact, not years.
Deep expertise in at least one of: Kubernetes, networking, cloud platforms, reliability engineering, or developer platforms, plus solid Linux, networking, and production-ops fundamentals.
Experience setting technical direction and leading work that needs cross-team alignment.
Clear written and verbal communication in a remote environment (RFCs, design docs, incident writeups).
Nice to have: EKS and ingress/CNI/service-mesh experience; observability with OpenTelemetry/Prometheus/Grafana; CI/CD and progressive delivery (GitHub Actions, Argo CD, canaries); experience leading migrations or adoption programs across teams.
You don't need every item here. We value deep expertise in one area, strong systems judgment, and curiosity across the rest.
_______________________________________________________________________
Build context, meet partner teams, ship your first change, shadow on-call.
Own a strategic platform problem with a clear plan and metrics; lead an improvement from design to production.

_______________________________________________________________________
Docker seeks a Principal Software Engineer to define the technical vision and architecture for our internal Developer Tools team. This is a rare opportunity to establish how software is designed, built, shipped, and operated at Docker. With the addition of AI we are modernizing our SDLC and building the mechanisms that make the right way the easy way for every engineer.
You'll own the technical strategy across four interconnected pillars:
Platform Engineering & Self-Service: Design and build the internal developer platform that empowers teams across Docker to unblock themselves, rapidly scaffolding, prototyping, deploying, and operating their own services and tools.
CI/CD & Build Systems: Define Docker's technical approach to continuous integration, delivery, and build infrastructure. Establish architectural standards for pipeline tooling, GitOps deployment patterns, build substrate, and release engineering.
As Principal Software Engineer, you'll partner with engineering leadership across Docker, principal engineers, Security, Infrastructure, and the service teams to author the SDLC tenets that underpin all of this work, and build the mechanisms those tenets run through.
Reporting to the Sr Manager of Developer Tools, you'll collaborate closely with engineering leadership across Docker, product engineering teams, platform teams, and ultimately customers as internal tools evolve into product offerings.
_______________________________________________________________________
You're a technical leader who excels at the intersection of developer experience, platform engineering, and systems design. You think in platforms and golden paths, building once and enabling dozens of teams to move faster. You have strong opinions on what makes developer tools great: invisible by default, indispensable once adopted, and measurable in the workflows engineers already use.
You have deep experience across the breadth of the developer tooling stack, CI/CD, build systems, observability infrastructure, and developer platforms, and working knowledge of LLM integration and AI agent development. You understand the nuances of internal platforms: designing for adoption, not mandate; plugging into existing workflows before standing up new ones; and earning trust through data before expanding scope.
You have exceptional judgment on when to build custom solutions versus integrate existing tools, and you're comfortable navigating a rapidly evolving landscape across both AI and developer infrastructure. You balance technical excellence with pragmatism, shipping iteratively while maintaining high quality bars. Most importantly, you lead through influence and mentorship, elevating the entire engineering organization's technical capabilities.

We are a globally distributed, remote-first team building the tools that define how software gets built and delivered. As AI agents redefine software development, Docker is at the center of that shift, providing the sandboxed environments, verified images, and secure infrastructure that make autonomous workflows trustworthy by default.
_______________________________________________________________________
The Docker Sandboxes team is building the runtime that lets AI coding agents run safely on a developer's machine: disposable, isolated microVM sandboxes that each get their own Docker daemon, filesystem, and network.
This is the core of Docker's sbx product: developers can give an agent the autonomy it needs to get real work done without it ever touching the host, and tear the whole environment down when it's finished.
The successful candidate is a technical, product-minded engineer with deep experience building secure, isolated runtime environments (sandboxes, containers, or VMs) and a track record of shipping and owning that kind of infrastructure in production at scale. They think naturally about isolation and security boundaries, understand the tradeoffs involved in running untrusted or semi-trusted workloads safely, and can reason confidently about a system that spans multiple surface areas.
They can drive clarity and consensus on hard, ambiguous problems that cross team and component boundaries, raise the bar for engineering quality wherever they work, thrive in a remote-first environment, communicate clearly across time zones, work with our users, while bringing curiosity and craftsmanship to hard problems.
Please note: this role is currently prioritizing candidates currently located in the Eastern time zone (US or Canada), or in the EU.
_______________________________________________________________________
Design, develop, and lead improvements to the sandboxes product across agent integration, tool permissions, and developer-facing workflows.
Investigate and resolve correctness, performance, and stability issues in the agent integration layer across macOS, Windows, and Linux.
Drive the reliability and performance of sandbox creation, session management, and teardown for AI agent workloads.
Collaborate with peers, Product, and adjacent teams to evolve the architecture as requirements grow.
Mentor engineers on the team and set the bar in design reviews and code reviews.
Engage with the open source and agentic development community around sandboxing, MCP, and related ecosystems.
Participate in on-call rotations and respond to critical stability issues affecting users.
Document your work clearly and share knowledge with the rest of the team.
_______________________________________________________________________
8+ years of software engineering experience, with demonstrated technical leadership on production systems at scale.
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
Experience building developer tools, desktop applications, or runtime infrastructure used directly by developers.
Familiarity with the agentic software development ecosystem: how coding agents work and how tools like Claude Code, Codex, or similar agents interact with their environment.
Ability to reason about isolation and security boundaries: what a sandbox should and shouldn't expose, and how to make safe defaults obvious to users.
Experience driving architecture and technical strategy across multiple engineers or teams.
Strong written and verbal communication skills.
Comfortable working with a high degree of autonomy in a remote-first environment.
_______________________________________________________________________
Build an understanding of our codebase.
Meet the people on your team and those adjacent to it.
Build an understanding of the products we are shipping and our near-term technical priorities.
Deliver small fixes or improvements.
Lead the design and development of a significant improvement or feature of the local sandboxes stack.
Engage with our open source project and the relevant upstream communities.
Shape the team's technical direction, and drive architecture discussions.
Deliver measurable improvements to the correctness and performance of sandboxes.
Become a recognized technical owner of key parts of the codebase and a go-to technical leader for the local runtime.
Help us define the longer-term technical strategy for the filesystem layer in a way that fits with Product and Business goals, and rally the team behind it.

They think naturally about isolation and security boundaries, understand the tradeoffs involved in running untrusted or semi-trusted workloads safely, and can reason confidently about a system that spans multiple surface areas.\n\n\n\nThey can drive clarity and consensus on hard, ambiguous problems that cross team and component boundaries, raise the bar for engineering quality wherever they work, thrive in a remote-first environment, communicate clearly across time zones, work with our users, while bringing curiosity and craftsmanship to hard problems.\n\n\n\nPlease note: this role is currently prioritizing candidates currently located in the Eastern time zone (US or Canada), or in the EU. \n\n_______________________________________________________________________\n\n\n\n\nRESPONSIBILITIES\n\n - Design, develop, and lead improvements to the sandboxes product across agent integration, tool permissions, and developer-facing workflows.\n\n - Investigate and resolve correctness, performance, and stability issues in the agent integration layer across macOS, Windows, and Linux.\n\n - Drive the reliability and performance of sandbox creation, session management, and teardown for AI agent workloads.\n\n - Collaborate with peers, Product, and adjacent teams to evolve the architecture as requirements grow.\n\n - Mentor engineers on the team and set the bar in design reviews and code reviews.\n\n - Engage with the open source and agentic development community around sandboxing, MCP, and related ecosystems.\n\n - Participate in on-call rotations and respond to critical stability issues affecting users.\n\n - Document your work clearly and share knowledge with the rest of the team.\n\n_______________________________________________________________________\n\n\n\n\n\nQUALIFICATIONS\n\n - 8+ years of software engineering experience, with demonstrated technical leadership on production systems at scale.\n\n - Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience\n\n - Experience building developer tools, desktop applications, or runtime infrastructure used directly by developers.\n\n - Familiarity with the agentic software development ecosystem: how coding agents work and how tools like Claude Code, Codex, or similar agents interact with their environment.\n\n - Ability to reason about isolation and security boundaries: what a sandbox should and shouldn't expose, and how to make safe defaults obvious to users.\n\n - Experience driving architecture and technical strategy across multiple engineers or teams.\n\n - Strong written and verbal communication skills.\n\n - Comfortable working with a high degree of autonomy in a remote-first environment.\n\n_______________________________________________________________________\n\n\n\n\nWHAT TO EXPECT\n\n\nFIRST 30 DAYS\n\n - Build an understanding of our codebase.\n\n - Meet the people on your team and those adjacent to it.\n\n - Build an understanding of the products we are shipping and our near-term technical priorities.\n\n - Deliver small fixes or improvements.\n\n\nFIRST 90 DAYS\n\n - Lead the design and development of a significant improvement or feature of the local sandboxes stack.\n\n - Engage with our open source project and the relevant upstream communities.\n\n - Shape the team's technical direction, and drive architecture discussions.\n\n\nONE YEAR OUTLOOK (FIRST YEAR)\n\n - Deliver measurable improvements to the correctness and performance of sandboxes.\n\n - Become a recognized technical owner of key parts of the codebase and a go-to technical leader for the local runtime.\n\n - Help us define the longer-term technical strategy for the filesystem layer in a way that fits with Product and Business goals, and rally the team behind it.\n\n\n\nVisa sponsorship: Docker considers visa sponsorship on a case-by-case basis based on business needs.\n\n_______________________________________________________________________\n\n\n\n\nCOMPENSATION & EQUITY\n\nAll full-time roles include equity. Final compensation is determined on factors including but not limited to experience, skills, qualifications, and location.\n\n\n\nUnited States: $160,900 – $260,700 base\n\n______________________________________________________________________\n\n\n\n\nPOSTING INFORMATION\n\n - Open vacancy: This posting is for an existing open role.\n\n - AI in hiring: Docker may use AI-assisted tools during our recruiting process.\n\n - Interview recordings: Candidates will be invited to opt in to interview recordings to support interviewer calibration and consistent evaluations.

Docker is looking for a Senior Partner Enablement Manager to own internal and external partner enablement and drive aligned GTM outcomes across our partner ecosystem. Reporting to the Sr. Director of Sales Enablement, you will design and deliver the training, certification, and enablement programs that connect Docker’s partner community — Channel partners, Hyperscalers (AWS, Azure, GCP), Global System Integrators, and Technology ISVs — to a shared, coordinated go-to-market motion.
Every program you build, every piece of content you ship, and every internal enablement session you run exists to accelerate GTM outcomes: more partner-sourced pipeline, stronger co-sell execution, and faster revenue through the ecosystem.
Docker’s partner ecosystem is a strategic growth lever, and AI Governance (AIG) is our primary co-sell motion. You’ll ensure every partner type understands Docker’s AIG value proposition, knows how to run joint sales plays, and is ready to engage customers alongside our field teams. Equally, you will serve as the internal GTM connector for Docker’s own sellers — equipping AEs, SEs, and CSMs with the partner playbooks, account mapping skills, and co-sell readiness they need to drive pipeline through the ecosystem. If you love building from scratch, orchestrating complex programs across diverse partner types, and making an entire ecosystem move toward a common GTM goal, this role is for you.

Partner with Product Marketing to translate new launches and messaging — especially around AIG — into partner-ready GTM materials that are accessible, timely, and field-tested.
Internal GTM Enablement — Enabling Docker’s Field to Win with Partners
Own the internal side of partner GTM: equip Docker’s AEs, SEs, and CSMs to confidently work alongside partners and drive joint pipeline.
Build and maintain “How to Win with Partners” resources for Docker’s field teams — covering account mapping, co-sell cadences, joint pipeline management, and partner engagement models tied to GTM outcomes.
Build co-sell plays and joint sales materials that connect Docker’s AIG story to each partner type’s unique value proposition (e.g., Hyperscaler integrations, G/SI delivery models, Channel resell motions).
Develop and deliver enablement on how to run effective account mapping sessions with partners — including preparation, joint prioritization, and follow-through.
Support account mapping in Salesforce (SFDC) between Docker AEs and partner sales teams, ensuring the right structure and training exists to make joint pipeline sessions productive.
Run internal enablement sessions on partner engagement models, referral and resell programs, and co-marketing strategies to drive joint pipeline and GTM velocity.
GTM Velocity & Impact
Drive velocity in Docker’s partner program by ensuring partners are enabled, certified, and ready to engage customers at every stage of the sales cycle.

Use partner performance data, completion metrics, and field feedback to identify gaps and continuously sharpen programs.
_______________________________________________________________________
5+ years of experience in partner enablement, channel enablement, or partner programs in a SaaS or technology company.
Demonstrated ability to design and deliver scalable partner training and certification programs anchored to GTM outcomes — not just content management.
Proven experience managing a partner portal or LMS — Impartner experience strongly preferred.
Strong understanding of channel dynamics, co-sell motions, and partner ecosystem economics across Channel, Hyperscaler, and G/SI partner types.
Experience building or supporting account mapping processes and joint pipeline programs between a vendor’s field team and partner sales organizations.
Excellent communicator — able to engage and build credibility with both external partners and internal field stakeholders.
Strong project management skills with the ability to manage multiple programs and deadlines simultaneously.
Data-driven mindset — you use metrics to prioritize, measure, and connect enablement investment to GTM results.
Experience building partner enablement programs from scratch in a high-growth SaaS environment.
Familiarity with Command of the Message or other structured sales methodologies.
Exposure to AI, containerization, DevOps tooling, or developer platforms — Docker experience a significant plus.

We are a globally distributed, remote-first team building the tools that define how software gets built and delivered. As AI agents redefine software development, Docker is at the center of that shift, providing the sandboxed environments, verified images, and secure infrastructure that make autonomous workflows trustworthy by default.
_______________________________________________________________________
Secure Build builds and operates the infrastructure behind Docker's container builds. The team owns Docker Build Cloud and Docker Hub Automated Builds while developing the next generation of trusted build and CI capabilities. Its direction is to make Docker the trusted place CI runs: isolated execution, brokered access to secrets and networks, and verifiable evidence of what each build or test job did. The work spans Go services, container and build technology, cloud infrastructure, sandboxing and software supply-chain security, alongside the operational responsibility for production systems customers already depend on.
SCS Services builds the backend systems and product capabilities that help developers understand, secure and ship software with confidence. The team powers important parts of Docker Scout and Docker Hardened Images, including the services and workflows that turn supply-chain data into useful developer, customer and agent experiences. Its estate is deliberately polyglot, with Clojure and Go services, event-driven workflows, Kafka, legacy Datomic components and newer Spanner-backed services. It also supports the customer journey around discovering, assessing, subscribing to and managing hardened artefacts.
We are looking for one Engineering Manager to lead both teams. Together they sit at the centre of Docker's secure software supply-chain work: one creates trusted build outcomes, while the other turns build, artifact and dependency data into services and experiences used across Scout and Docker Hardened Images. This is a two-team leadership role with separate roadmaps, production responsibilities and technical domains. The teams should deliver independently, with explicit contracts and joined-up ownership where their services connect.
You will own the health, delivery and growth of both teams and make the trade-offs that keep them effective as a portfolio. You will not be expected to be the deepest expert in every language or domain. You will need enough technical breadth and current engineering judgement to engage credibly in designs, reviews and incidents across both teams, set direction with strong senior engineers, and recognise when the right answer is to create space for their expertise.
_______________________________________________________________________
The successful candidate leads first. They are an experienced engineering manager who can inherit two capable teams, earn trust quickly and help each become a high-performing, value-delivering part of the wider Docker organisation. They are deliberate about where they spend their attention, protect both teams from becoming the second priority, and make portfolio trade-offs visible rather than allowing urgency, proximity or the loudest stakeholder to decide.
They stay close to the technical work without trying to own every technical decision. They can hold a substantive conversation about distributed backend systems, event and data pipelines, build and CI infrastructure, trust boundaries and production operations. They are active in design and review, useful during incidents and willing to get hands-on where that moves the work forward. The balance still tilts strongly to leadership, coaching, delivery and organisational judgement.
They care about security as a product and engineering property, not only as compliance. They understand how modern attacks exploit identity, secrets, dependencies and build systems, and they can reason about the evidence customers need to trust an artefact or workflow. They lead through judgement, clarity and unblocking rather than ceremony for its own sake. Above all, they grow the engineers around them and help both teams ship outcomes developers and enterprises can rely on.
_______________________________________________________________________
Lead Secure Build and SCS Services, owning delivery, team health, growth, performance and operational excellence across both.
Turn two changing roadmaps into a coherent portfolio plan with explicit priorities, capacity and trade-offs, and create leadership coverage so neither team becomes the permanent second priority.
Partner with Product to shape strategy and roadmaps for secure build, Docker Scout, Docker Hardened Images and the services that connect them.
Stay close to the technical work through design and code review, incident response and selective hands-on contribution where it adds leverage.
Ensure each team's technical direction supports product, security, reliability and customer priorities, setting it collaboratively with Staff and senior engineers while leaving clear decision ownership with them.
Own the interfaces between the teams, including trust boundaries, contracts, data quality, versioning, operational ownership and customer-facing failure modes.
Balance new product work with inherited systems and on-call, and invest in reliability improvements driven by recurring operational pain.
Own engineer growth and performance, handle difficult conversations directly, hire and retain strong people and build succession depth within both teams.
Align Product, Design, Security, DHI Content, Registry, Hub, sales, support, commercial and legal partners while shielding the teams from churn.
Lead disciplined use of AI-assisted engineering and communicate decisions, risks and progress clearly across UK and US working hours.

Experience prioritising across competing roadmaps, operational load and stakeholder commitments, with clear mechanisms for allocating attention and capacity.
Strong backend and distributed-systems judgement, including APIs, event-driven architectures, data stores, cloud-native infrastructure and production operations.
Understanding of CI or build-system internals, containers and artefact workflows, plus a strong interest in software supply-chain security and trust boundaries.
Experience leading teams that operate production infrastructure through on-call, incident response, observability, SLOs and the work required to reduce recurring operational load.
Strong product judgement and evidence of shaping roadmaps with Product rather than only receiving requirements.
Clear written and verbal communication, strong cross-functional influence, customer closeness and comfort leading a remote-first organisation across European and US time zones.
Experience with Go, Clojure or both, and evidence of becoming effective across a polyglot estate.

Experience evolving legacy systems while shipping new capability for developer tools, security products, regulated customers or software-agent workflows.
_______________________________________________________________________
Build relationships with every engineer and the Product partners for both teams before changing structure, process or roadmap.
Understand Secure Build's product direction, production estate and on-call load, including Docker Build Cloud and Docker Hub Automated Builds.
Understand the SCS Services products, customers, architecture and operational profile, and map the dependencies, trust boundaries and ownership lines between the teams.
Own a coherent portfolio plan with both teams and Product, including explicit capacity for roadmap, reliability and cross-team work.
Establish a sustainable operating cadence and leadership coverage that prevents either team depending on your constant presence.
Agree ownership and escalation paths for shared services and failures, start one material improvement in each team and make progress and risk visible.
Both teams deliver predictably against a portfolio that connects secure build, Scout and Docker Hardened Images outcomes without collapsing their distinct missions.
Secure Build has delivered material trusted-build or secure-CI capability and reduced operational risk in its inherited production systems.
SCS Services has delivered material customer outcomes, while both teams have sustainable on-call, clearer ownership and senior engineers leading broader work.

Docker AI Gateway is our answer to the complexity of taking AI agents from prototype to production. It’s a powerful, intelligent, and secure control point that eliminates the toil of model orchestration, tool management, observability, and governance—so developers can focus on building incredible AI agents, not gluing together infrastructure.
The Gateway sits at the center of modern AI applications, offering:
A model and tool routing layer with built-in security and cost optimization
A familiar OpenAI-compatible interface and MCP server
Unified observability and policy enforcement
Auto-RAG, tool injection, session summarization, and more
We’re just getting started—and we need exceptional engineers to help us build the backbone of the future of agent-based development.

Develop APIs for developers building with OpenAI-compatible interfaces and the Model Context Protocol
Build the underlying infrastructure to support evaluation, telemetry, replay, and backtesting for agents and LLM workflows
Lead architectural decisions and mentor engineers as the team scales
Performance tuning - caching, session summarization, and rate limiting that keep the gateway fast under real production load
Contribute to roadmap planning, technical strategy, and cross-functional alignment
Building a unified abstraction over fundamentally different model and tool providers without leaking their differences into the developer experience
Making credential and identity handling for tool access both airtight and fast
Giving developers real-time and historical visibility into what their agents are doing, with policy enforcement that can't be bypassed

Fluency in Go, and/or Rust (both preferred)
Familiarity with AI/ML platforms or model serving infrastructure
A strong product mindset—you're excited about building developer-facing tools
Ownership mentality with a bias for shipping, learning, and iterating
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
Bonus Qualifications:
Prior experience with OpenAI, Anthropic, or similar LLM APIs
Familiarity with RAG architectures, vector databases, or agent frameworks (e.g., LangChain, AutoGPT, CrewAI)

Docker AI Gateway is our answer to the complexity of taking AI agents from prototype to production. It’s a powerful, intelligent, and secure control point that eliminates the toil of model orchestration, tool management, observability, and governance - so developers can focus on building incredible AI agents, not gluing together infrastructure.
The Gateway sits at the center of modern AI applications, offering:
A model and tool routing layer with built-in security and cost optimization
A familiar OpenAI-compatible interface and MCP server
Unified observability and policy enforcement
Auto-RAG, tool injection, session summarization, and more
We’re just getting started and we need exceptional engineers to help us build the backbone of the future of agent-based development.
_______________________________________________________________________
Set technical direction for core systems powering the AI Gateway 0 the model router, MCP gateway, and control plane - and make sure architectural decisions hold up as usage scales by 10x
Consistently identify gaps in our infrastructure, process, or tooling before they become blockers, and drive the fix from idea to production
Take a significant, hands-on role in defining, delivering, and implementing the Gateway's technical strategy, in close partnership with engineering leadership
Own the hardest, highest-ambiguity problems in the system: dynamic model selection, auto-failover, cost-based routing, and policy enforcement that has to work end-to-end
Act as the go-to expert for secure credential storage, session summarization, caching, and rate limiting - the capabilities everything else depends on
Build the infrastructure that lets us, and our customers, evaluate, replay, and backtest agent and LLM behavior with confidence
Mentor senior and mid-level engineers, and raise the technical bar for the team through code, design review, and example
Partner with product, design, and leadership to shape not just what the control plane UI does, but where the product goes next
Define the unified abstraction layer across diverse model and tool providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, AWS Bedrock) that the rest of the org builds on
Architect secure, scalable identity and credential vaulting for tool and model access, trusted enough to run at enterprise scale
Build the infrastructure for real-time and historical analytics of AI agent behavior that leadership and customers both rely on
Guarantee that policy enforcement and logging work end-to-end - from prompt to tool to response - with no gaps an auditor (or attacker) could find
Set the bar for developer experience through intuitive APIs and first-class observability
_______________________________________________________________________
Required Qualifications
8+ years of backend engineering experience, with a track record of owning production-grade systems at significant scale
Deep specialization in distributed systems, cloud-native infrastructure, and API design - recognized by peers and cross-functional partners as a go-to expert, not just experienced

_______________________________________________________________________
Docker Forward Deployed Engineers (FDE) embed directly with our most strategic customers to solve important, complex technical problems and turn ambitious ideas into production outcomes. FDEs take on the most challenging technical challenges using existing Docker products and patterns when possible, and work across customer, Docker Product and Engineering teams to realize new approaches when required.
As a Docker FDE, you will work side-by-side with customer engineering teams to deeply understand their goals, problems, constraints, and technical landscape; identify the highest-leverage opportunities; and design, build, and ship solutions with them. You own the technical journey from discovery and architecture through prototyping, implementation and production rollout.
The solutions you build may use existing Docker products, extend Docker into new environments, integrate deeply with customer and third-party systems, or reveal capabilities that Docker should build next. You work closely with Docker Solutions Architects to evolve existing patterns, and Docker Product and Engineering to turn new learnings into reusable patterns and product capabilities.
_______________________________________________________________________
Build in Production with Customers
Embed with customer engineering teams to design, build, and ship solutions from first prototype through stable production rollout. Use existing Docker products and patterns when possible, invent, prototype and validate innovative solutions when necessary.
Deliver working technical artifacts to customers: custom MCP servers with tightly integrated Docker Sandbox environments for coding agents and containerized agents; Docker Compose definitions for multi-agent harnesses and model-backed applications; Hardened Image standardization and migration; New tools that unblock customer progress.
Integrate Docker's AI platform with the customer's existing stack, including identity providers (OIDC/SAML/SSO), secrets management, private and air-gapped registries, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, and observability tooling.
Own technical delivery on your engagements: scope the work, sequence it, make trade-offs between speed and quality, remove blockers early, and contribute directly to code whenever progress depends on it.
Make AI Adoption Safe and Governable
Translate customer security, compliance, and platform requirements into concrete plans and see those plans through from ideation to production.
Help customers define controls to enable them to adopt agentic AI to solve their unique business problems without compromising security, compliance, data sovereignty or end-user experience.
Establish quality and performance standards for customers and work closely with Docker Product and Engineering to quickly address issues that fall outside of established thresholds
Partner with customer security and platform teams to get agentic workloads through architecture review, threat modeling, and change control.
Partner with Solutions Architecture and the Field
Work closely with Solutions Architects to enable off-the-self solutions when possible and provide technical experience and leadership when a bespoke solution is necessary.
Feed implementation learnings back into reference architectures, SOW templates, and success patterns so that FDE innovations become standard features and implementation patterns.
Support the field with technical depth during proofs of concept, escalations, and expansion conversations when a working build is the fastest path to a customer adoption.
Close the Loop with Product and Engineering
As part of Docker Engineering FDEs work closely with Product and Engineering teams to fold FDE innovations, learnings, and design patterns into existing or new products and services.
Work with Customers, Product and Engineering to establish quality and performance thresholds, ensuring customer environments meet them consistently, and responding quickly and decisively when they don’t.
Be the voice of the customer. Deliver data-driven and actionable feedback to Product and Engineering: what works well; what does not; what customers are asking for; and what blocks their adoption and forward progress. FDE experience directly influences the roadmap.
Shape the Practice
Define the FDE engagement model, delivery standards, and quality bar, and codify them so that engagements are consistent across customers, regions, and delivery partners.
Mentor and lead other Forward Deployed Engineers, and participate in hiring loops to grow the team.
Act as the senior technical escalation point on the hardest problems impacting your customers. Every incident is an opportunity to improve Docker products and services.
Maintain deep, current knowledge of the agentic AI stack: LLMs, APIs, MCP, coding agents, model and harness evaluation approaches, performance and quality thresholds, deployment patterns.
This role may require participation in an on-call rotation to provide support outside of standard business hours, including evenings, weekends, and holidays, as needed.
_______________________________________________________________________
Required
10+ years of software engineering experience, including 4+ years in a customer-facing technical role such as Forward Deployed Engineer, Solutions Engineer, Professional Services Engineer, or Software Engineer with consulting or technical founder experience.
Technical leadership across multiple engagements, teams, or domains, with a proven ability to set delivery standards, define repeatable patterns, and influence product direction through field evidence.
Expert production coding skills in Go, Python, or TypeScript, with a track record of shipping and operating software that other people depend on and of leading technical design reviews.
Deep, hands-on Docker expertise: Dockerfiles and multi-stage builds, Docker Compose, image and registry operations, container networking and storage, and container security fundamentals.
Hands-on experience building with LLMs and agents in production, including tool use and function calling, the Model Context Protocol (MCP server and client implementation), prompt and context engineering, and evaluation of agent behavior.
Working knowledge of software supply chain security: SBOMs, image signing and attestation, vulnerability management, minimal and hardened base images, and secure CI/CD.
Experience integrating with enterprise systems: identity providers (Okta, Entra ID, LDAP/Active Directory), federated identity protocols (OIDC, SAML), secrets managers, Kubernetes, and at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, GCP).
Ability to scope and deliver complex work in ambiguous, fast-moving customer environments, making sound trade-offs between scope, speed, and quality.
Excellent communication skills with engineers, security and platform teams, and executive stakeholders, with a low-ego, collaborative approach and the ability to lead through influence rather than authority.
Proven track record of technical mentorship and of raising the bar for the engineers around you.
High agency and comfort operating autonomously in distributed, remote-first teams.
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
Travel to customer sites to build in person with customer teams, estimated at up to 50%.
Bonus
Experience with Docker Hardened Images, Docker Scout, MCP Gateway, MCP Toolkit, Docker Sandboxes, or Docker Model Runner.
Experience deploying and operating coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, or similar) in team or enterprise settings.
Experience with air-gapped, regulated, or compliance-driven environments in financial services, healthcare, government, or similar sectors.
Contributions to open source projects in the container, Kubernetes, or MCP ecosystems.
Prior experience founding or scaling a Forward Deployed Engineering or Professional Services practice.
Visa sponsorship: Docker considers visa sponsorship on a case-by-case basis based on business needs.

You work closely with Docker Solutions Architects to evolve existing patterns, and Docker Product and Engineering to turn new learnings into reusable patterns and product capabilities.\n\n_______________________________________________________________________\n\n \n\n\nRESPONSIBILITIES\n\nBuild in Production with Customers\n\n - Embed with customer engineering teams to design, build, and ship solutions from first prototype through stable production rollout. Use existing Docker products and patterns when possible, invent, prototype and validate innovative solutions when necessary.\n\n - Deliver working technical artifacts to customers: custom MCP servers with tightly integrated Docker Sandbox environments for coding agents and containerized agents; Docker Compose definitions for multi-agent harnesses and model-backed applications; Hardened Image standardization and migration; New tools that unblock customer progress.\n\n - Integrate Docker's AI platform with the customer's existing stack, including identity providers (OIDC/SAML/SSO), secrets management, private and air-gapped registries, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, and observability tooling.\n\n - Own technical delivery on your engagements: scope the work, sequence it, make trade-offs between speed and quality, remove blockers early, and contribute directly to code whenever progress depends on it.\n\nMake AI Adoption Safe and Governable\n\n - Translate customer security, compliance, and platform requirements into concrete plans and see those plans through from ideation to production.\n\n - Help customers define controls to enable them to adopt agentic AI to solve their unique business problems without compromising security, compliance, data sovereignty or end-user experience.\n\n - Establish quality and performance standards for customers and work closely with Docker Product and Engineering to quickly address issues that fall outside of established thresholds\n\n - Partner with customer security and platform teams to get agentic workloads through architecture review, threat modeling, and change control.\n\nPartner with Solutions Architecture and the Field\n\n - Work closely with Solutions Architects to enable off-the-self solutions when possible and provide technical experience and leadership when a bespoke solution is necessary.\n\n - Feed implementation learnings back into reference architectures, SOW templates, and success patterns so that FDE innovations become standard features and implementation patterns.\n\n - Support the field with technical depth during proofs of concept, escalations, and expansion conversations when a working build is the fastest path to a customer adoption.\n\nClose the Loop with Product and Engineering\n\n - As part of Docker Engineering FDEs work closely with Product and Engineering teams to fold FDE innovations, learnings, and design patterns into existing or new products and services.\n\n - Work with Customers, Product and Engineering to establish quality and performance thresholds, ensuring customer environments meet them consistently, and responding quickly and decisively when they don’t.\n\n - Be the voice of the customer. Deliver data-driven and actionable feedback to Product and Engineering: what works well; what does not; what customers are asking for; and what blocks their adoption and forward progress. FDE experience directly influences the roadmap.\n\nShape the Practice\n\n - Define the FDE engagement model, delivery standards, and quality bar, and codify them so that engagements are consistent across customers, regions, and delivery partners.\n\n - Mentor and lead other Forward Deployed Engineers, and participate in hiring loops to grow the team.\n\n - Act as the senior technical escalation point on the hardest problems impacting your customers. Every incident is an opportunity to improve Docker products and services.\n\n - Maintain deep, current knowledge of the agentic AI stack: LLMs, APIs, MCP, coding agents, model and harness evaluation approaches, performance and quality thresholds, deployment patterns.\n\n - This role may require participation in an on-call rotation to provide support outside of standard business hours, including evenings, weekends, and holidays, as needed.\n\n_______________________________________________________________________\n\n \n\n\nQUALIFICATIONS\n\nRequired\n\n - 10+ years of software engineering experience, including 4+ years in a customer-facing technical role such as Forward Deployed Engineer, Solutions Engineer, Professional Services Engineer, or Software Engineer with consulting or technical founder experience.\n\n - Technical leadership across multiple engagements, teams, or domains, with a proven ability to set delivery standards, define repeatable patterns, and influence product direction through field evidence.\n\n - Expert production coding skills in Go, Python, or TypeScript, with a track record of shipping and operating software that other people depend on and of leading technical design reviews.\n\n - Deep, hands-on Docker expertise: Dockerfiles and multi-stage builds, Docker Compose, image and registry operations, container networking and storage, and container security fundamentals.\n\n - Hands-on experience building with LLMs and agents in production, including tool use and function calling, the Model Context Protocol (MCP server and client implementation), prompt and context engineering, and evaluation of agent behavior.\n\n - Working knowledge of software supply chain security: SBOMs, image signing and attestation, vulnerability management, minimal and hardened base images, and secure CI/CD.\n\n - Experience integrating with enterprise systems: identity providers (Okta, Entra ID, LDAP/Active Directory), federated identity protocols (OIDC, SAML), secrets managers, Kubernetes, and at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, GCP).\n\n - Ability to scope and deliver complex work in ambiguous, fast-moving customer environments, making sound trade-offs between scope, speed, and quality.\n\n - Excellent communication skills with engineers, security and platform teams, and executive stakeholders, with a low-ego, collaborative approach and the ability to lead through influence rather than authority.\n\n - Proven track record of technical mentorship and of raising the bar for the engineers around you.\n\n - High agency and comfort operating autonomously in distributed, remote-first teams.\n\n - Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.\n\n - Travel to customer sites to build in person with customer teams, estimated at up to 50%.\n\nBonus \n\n - Experience with Docker Hardened Images, Docker Scout, MCP Gateway, MCP Toolkit, Docker Sandboxes, or Docker Model Runner.\n\n - Experience deploying and operating coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, or similar) in team or enterprise settings.\n\n - Experience with air-gapped, regulated, or compliance-driven environments in financial services, healthcare, government, or similar sectors.\n\n - Contributions to open source projects in the container, Kubernetes, or MCP ecosystems.\n\n - Prior experience founding or scaling a Forward Deployed Engineering or Professional Services practice.\n\n\n\nVisa sponsorship: Docker considers visa sponsorship on a case-by-case basis based on business needs.\n\n_______________________________________________________________________\n\n \n\n\nCOMPENSATION & EQUITY\n\nAll full-time roles include equity. Final compensation is determined on factors including but not limited to experience, skills, qualifications, and location.\n\n\n\nUnited States: $198K – $319K base\n\n\n\n______________________________________________________________________\n\n\n\n\nPOSTING INFORMATION\n\n - Open vacancy: This posting is for an existing open role.\n\n - AI in hiring: Docker may use AI-assisted tools during our recruiting process.\n\n - Interview recordings: Candidates will be invited to opt in to interview recordings to support interviewer calibration and consistent evaluations.

_______________________________________________________________________
Docker's Product-Led Growth (PLG) team owns turning product usage into revenue across the full Platform: the Container business (Docker Desktop, Docker Hub, Docker Build Cloud, Docker Scout) and the AI business (Sandboxes, AI Governance, Model Runner, MCP Toolkit, MCP Catalog). Lifecycle marketing is one of the fastest-scaling parts of that team: it already owns user and admin nurtures, renewal automation, and first-touch outreach for PQLs and inbound leads, running against a marketable base in the tens of millions.
As Senior Lifecycle Marketer, you'll report directly to the VP of PLG and partner closely with our existing lifecycle marketing lead. You'll take ownership of assigned products, audiences, and lifecycle stages, with real input into shaping the approach for what you own, not just shipping someone else's plan, and you'll help turn a fast-growing list of priorities into a structured, scalable lifecycle engine.
_______________________________________________________________________
Lifecycle Fluency: You think in full user journeys, not campaigns. You've done lifecycle marketing specifically, not just growth or demand gen, and you know how nurture, activation, retention, and renewal connect across a product's full lifecycle.
Builder's Mindset: You'd rather own a program end to end, strategy, build, QA, and send, than hand pieces of it off. You bring structure to ambiguity: turning a fast-growing list of priorities into themes, a build queue, and a sequenced roadmap.
Audience & Signal Validation: You know how to validate an audience and its underlying signal before it ships: spot-checking record-level data, sanity-checking targeting logic, and catching a bad segment before it reaches users. You don't need to write SQL yourself, but you can work directly with data teams to confirm a list is right.
Cross-Functional Operator: You operate well across marketing, sales (BDR and renewals), data, and design/agency partners, and you know how to keep programs moving even when you don't own every dependency.
Marketing Automation Execution: You've personally built campaigns in Marketo or an equivalent platform, not just briefed them: audience builds, suppressions and contact governance, pre-send QA and live proofs, and launch monitoring, including troubleshooting a broken data sync in the moment.
Technical Translation: You can take a technical product or a raw usage signal, a feature adoption event, a usage threshold, a new capability, and turn it into messaging that reads credible to a developer or admin, not generic marketing copy.
_______________________________________________________________________
Build the Lifecycle Engine: Own and build lifecycle campaigns (email and in-product messaging) across Docker's Container and AI Platform products, including Sandboxes and AI Governance, for both end users and admins.
Scale Programmatic Sends: Design and run large-scale programmatic sends, such as recurring account health checks, to a base in the tens of millions, working within the team's marketing automation stack (currently Marketo and Mailgun; expect a platform transition in the next 6–12 months).
Automate Lead and Renewal Motions: Stand up and run automated first-touch flows for PQLs and inbound leads, in partnership with BDR and renewals stakeholders.
Validate Audiences & Signals: Partner with data and growth engineering to pull the usage signals campaigns depend on (Snowflake and internal data tools), and validate that an audience and its underlying signal are correct before every send.
Manage Suppressions & Contact Governance: Own suppression lists and contact governance rules so campaigns stay compliant and don't over-message or reach the wrong audience.
QA, Launch Monitoring & Troubleshooting: Run pre-send QA and live proofs on every campaign, monitor launches as they go out, and troubleshoot issues in real time, including broken data syncs.
Translate Signals into Messaging: Turn technical product usage and adoption signals into messaging that reads credible and useful to developers and admins, not generic marketing copy.
Shape and Sequence Strategy: Take a fast-growing list of priorities and turn it into a concrete build queue: itemize the work, sequence it, and flag capacity or dependency issues early.
Coordinate Design & Agency Partners: Work with design and agency partners to keep campaign quality and turnaround on track.
Operationalize Reporting: Own naming, tracking, and reporting on programs so the rest of the team has visibility into what's live, what's next, and what it's driving.
_______________________________________________________________________
Lifecycle Marketing Experience: A background specifically in lifecycle marketing, not pure growth or demand gen, ideally inside a PLG or self-serve motion.
Proven Program Ownership: A track record of owning campaigns end to end (strategy, build, QA, send) and shipping programs that moved a real metric: activation, retention, or renewal conversion.
Marketing Automation Build Experience: Hands-on build experience in Marketo or an equivalent marketing automation platform: audience builds, program/campaign setup, suppressions and contact governance, pre-send QA and live proofs, and launch monitoring.
Data & Targeting Validation: Comfortable working directly with data teams to validate record-level data and targeting logic, for example auditing who's actually in a segment or spot-checking a list against expectations. Writing SQL yourself is a plus, not a requirement.
Technical-to-Message Translation: A track record of turning a technical product or a raw usage signal into messaging that reads credible to a developer or admin audience, not generic marketing copy.
Technical Familiarity: Comfort navigating developer ecosystems, cloud infrastructure, or complex multi-product software platforms.
Independent Ownership: Senior-level judgment and ownership as an individual contributor: you can run with ambiguity and drive a program without every step spelled out, and you collaborate well with another senior peer on the team.
_______________________________________________________________________
Immerse & Align: Get up to speed on Docker's PLG motion, product surface area (Container and AI), and the programs lifecycle already owns. Build a working relationship with data, BDR, renewals, and design/agency partners.
Program & Tooling Audit: Audit the current state of user and admin nurtures, renewal automation, and PQL/lead outreach, and get familiar with the Marketo/Mailgun stack and its upcoming transition.
Roadmap Calibration: Work with the lifecycle team to turn the current priority list into themes, a build queue, and a sequenced roadmap.
Ship Owned Campaigns: Take ownership of at least one full program, such as an admin nurture flow or a PQL first-touch sequence, from build through send.
Contribute to Renewal Automation: Stand up a first version of automated renewal outreach in partnership with the renewals team.
Build the Reporting Cadence: Put in place naming, tracking, and reporting so the team has clear visibility into what's live and what it's driving.
Own a Mature Program Set: Own a mature, scaled set of lifecycle programs across your assigned products, audiences, and lifecycle stages.
Prove Impact: Show measurable lift in activation, retention, or renewal conversion tied directly to your programs.
Scale the Function: Help lifecycle marketing operate as a predictable, automated engine rather than a set of one-off campaigns, as scope keeps expanding across the Platform.
Visa sponsorship: Not available for this role.

You don't need to write SQL yourself, but you can work directly with data teams to confirm a list is right.\n\n - Cross-Functional Operator: You operate well across marketing, sales (BDR and renewals), data, and design/agency partners, and you know how to keep programs moving even when you don't own every dependency.\n\n - Marketing Automation Execution: You've personally built campaigns in Marketo or an equivalent platform, not just briefed them: audience builds, suppressions and contact governance, pre-send QA and live proofs, and launch monitoring, including troubleshooting a broken data sync in the moment.\n\n - Technical Translation: You can take a technical product or a raw usage signal, a feature adoption event, a usage threshold, a new capability, and turn it into messaging that reads credible to a developer or admin, not generic marketing copy.\n\n_______________________________________________________________________\n\n\n\n\nRESPONSIBILITIES\n\n - Build the Lifecycle Engine: Own and build lifecycle campaigns (email and in-product messaging) across Docker's Container and AI Platform products, including Sandboxes and AI Governance, for both end users and admins.\n\n - Scale Programmatic Sends: Design and run large-scale programmatic sends, such as recurring account health checks, to a base in the tens of millions, working within the team's marketing automation stack (currently Marketo and Mailgun; expect a platform transition in the next 6–12 months).\n\n - Automate Lead and Renewal Motions: Stand up and run automated first-touch flows for PQLs and inbound leads, in partnership with BDR and renewals stakeholders.\n\n - Validate Audiences & Signals: Partner with data and growth engineering to pull the usage signals campaigns depend on (Snowflake and internal data tools), and validate that an audience and its underlying signal are correct before every send.\n\n - Manage Suppressions & Contact Governance: Own suppression lists and contact governance rules so campaigns stay compliant and don't over-message or reach the wrong audience.\n\n - QA, Launch Monitoring & Troubleshooting: Run pre-send QA and live proofs on every campaign, monitor launches as they go out, and troubleshoot issues in real time, including broken data syncs.\n\n - Translate Signals into Messaging: Turn technical product usage and adoption signals into messaging that reads credible and useful to developers and admins, not generic marketing copy.\n\n - Shape and Sequence Strategy: Take a fast-growing list of priorities and turn it into a concrete build queue: itemize the work, sequence it, and flag capacity or dependency issues early.\n\n - Coordinate Design & Agency Partners: Work with design and agency partners to keep campaign quality and turnaround on track.\n\n - Operationalize Reporting: Own naming, tracking, and reporting on programs so the rest of the team has visibility into what's live, what's next, and what it's driving.\n\n_______________________________________________________________________\n\n\n\n\nQUALIFICATIONS\n\n - Lifecycle Marketing Experience: A background specifically in lifecycle marketing, not pure growth or demand gen, ideally inside a PLG or self-serve motion.\n\n - Proven Program Ownership: A track record of owning campaigns end to end (strategy, build, QA, send) and shipping programs that moved a real metric: activation, retention, or renewal conversion.\n\n - Marketing Automation Build Experience: Hands-on build experience in Marketo or an equivalent marketing automation platform: audience builds, program/campaign setup, suppressions and contact governance, pre-send QA and live proofs, and launch monitoring.\n\n - Data & Targeting Validation: Comfortable working directly with data teams to validate record-level data and targeting logic, for example auditing who's actually in a segment or spot-checking a list against expectations. Writing SQL yourself is a plus, not a requirement.\n\n - Technical-to-Message Translation: A track record of turning a technical product or a raw usage signal into messaging that reads credible to a developer or admin audience, not generic marketing copy.\n\n - Technical Familiarity: Comfort navigating developer ecosystems, cloud infrastructure, or complex multi-product software platforms.\n\n - Independent Ownership: Senior-level judgment and ownership as an individual contributor: you can run with ambiguity and drive a program without every step spelled out, and you collaborate well with another senior peer on the team.\n\n_______________________________________________________________________\n\n\n\n\nWHAT TO EXPECT\n\n\nFIRST 30 DAYS\n\n - Immerse & Align: Get up to speed on Docker's PLG motion, product surface area (Container and AI), and the programs lifecycle already owns. Build a working relationship with data, BDR, renewals, and design/agency partners.\n\n - Program & Tooling Audit: Audit the current state of user and admin nurtures, renewal automation, and PQL/lead outreach, and get familiar with the Marketo/Mailgun stack and its upcoming transition.\n\n - Roadmap Calibration: Work with the lifecycle team to turn the current priority list into themes, a build queue, and a sequenced roadmap.\n\n\nFIRST 90 DAYS\n\n - Ship Owned Campaigns: Take ownership of at least one full program, such as an admin nurture flow or a PQL first-touch sequence, from build through send.\n\n - Contribute to Renewal Automation: Stand up a first version of automated renewal outreach in partnership with the renewals team.\n\n - Build the Reporting Cadence: Put in place naming, tracking, and reporting so the team has clear visibility into what's live and what it's driving.\n\n\nONE YEAR OUTLOOK\n\n - Own a Mature Program Set: Own a mature, scaled set of lifecycle programs across your assigned products, audiences, and lifecycle stages.\n\n - Prove Impact: Show measurable lift in activation, retention, or renewal conversion tied directly to your programs.\n\n - Scale the Function: Help lifecycle marketing operate as a predictable, automated engine rather than a set of one-off campaigns, as scope keeps expanding across the Platform.\n\n\n\nVisa sponsorship: Not available for this role.\n\n_______________________________________________________________________\n\n \n\n\nCOMPENSATION & EQUITY\n\nAll full-time roles include equity.

From solo founders to the world's largest companies, developers rely on Docker to build, share, and run their applications across our suite of products including Docker Desktop, Docker Hub, and Docker Scout.
We are a globally distributed, remote-first team building the tools that define how software gets built and delivered. As AI agents redefine software development, Docker is at the center of that shift, providing the sandboxed environments, verified images, and secure infrastructure that make autonomous workflows trustworthy by default.
_______________________________________________________________________
We're building AI-native development practices into how this team works at a foundational level. That means infrastructure design needs to account for a new kind of collaborator: AI agents that generate, deploy, and operate software. The Staff Infrastructure Engineer on this team will keep systems running, define what safe, observable, AI-assisted infrastructure operations look like in practice, and set the standard for how the broader engineering organization follows.
_______________________________________________________________________
The Billing Platform Engineering team owns the systems that make Docker's commercial model real. You'll work on problems like:
How do we design infrastructure that makes AI-generated deployments safe to ship and easy to roll back?
How do we instrument billing systems so that failures — billing miscalculations, entitlement gaps, payment errors — are detected immediately and unambiguously?
How do we build infrastructure that scales with usage-based billing workloads without manual intervention?
How do we make the developer experience on this team faster and more reliable — local environments, CI/CD pipelines, deployment tooling?
_______________________________________________________________________
Own and evolve the infrastructure supporting Billing Platform services: compute, storage, networking, CI/CD, and observability
Design and maintain IaC (Terraform) for billing system infrastructure on AWS; set module patterns and standards for the team
Build and own observability systems — metrics, logging, alerting — with a focus on billing accuracy and payment reliability
Define deployment patterns and runbooks that work well in an AI-agent-assisted development workflow: clear rollback procedures, safe promotion gates, automated validation
Partner with software engineers on service design — bringing infrastructure constraints and operational requirements into the conversation before code is written
Identify systemic risks and drive improvements that span team or organizational boundaries
Lead incident response for billing system issues. This role may require participation in an on-call rotation to provide support outside of standard business hours, including evenings, weekends, and holidays, as needed.
Mentor engineers across the team; your technical judgment should raise the floor for everyone.
_______________________________________________________________________
8+ years in platform, infrastructure, or SRE roles supporting production SaaS systems at scale
Deep AWS expertise: ECS or EKS, RDS (Postgres preferred), networking, IAM, cost management — you've operated these systems under real load and real incidents
Expert-level Terraform; you've designed reusable module patterns and set standards others follow
Experience building and owning observability stacks (Datadog, Grafana, or similar) at an organizational level — not just using them
Strong familiarity with CI/CD systems — Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or equivalent — including pipeline design and developer experience ownership
Kubernetes at an operational and architectural level
A track record of identifying systemic risks and driving improvements that span team or organizational boundaries
Security-first mindset: threat modeling, blast radius analysis, least-privilege by default, audit trails as a design requirement
Strong written English; at Staff level, written communication is how you scale your influence across teams
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
You don't wait for problems to be handed to you — you find them, frame them, and drive the solution. You've operated at a scope where your decisions affected multiple teams or systems, and you know how to build consensus and move work forward without direct authority. You've thought seriously about what infrastructure needs to look like when AI agents are generating and shipping code — safe deployment patterns, strong observability, clean rollback — and you want to help define that standard here. Experience with billing, payments, or financial systems infrastructure is a meaningful plus.
_______________________________________________________________________
You will ship code in your first week. We run an agent-first development workflow — infrastructure changes start with a plan, specifications are written before generation, and every change is reviewed before it merges — and onboarding is no exception. You will get hands-on with the infrastructure supporting Billing Platform services early, shadow on-call, and build a clear picture of the system before you start making bigger changes. By the end of 30 days you will have shipped real work and know where the most important problems are.
You will have taken ownership of one or more infrastructure components and delivered an improvement from design to production with measurable impact. You will be an active participant in deployment and reliability discussions, bringing infrastructure constraints and operational requirements into the conversation early — before code is written. You will be a full participant in the on-call rotation and have begun shaping the team's technical direction.
You will be the team's trusted authority on billing infrastructure.

","descriptionPlain":"ABOUT DOCKER\n\nDocker has been one of the most loved brands in developer tooling, trusted by more than 20 million monthly users and over 20 billion container image pulls. From solo founders to the world's largest companies, developers rely on Docker to build, share, and run their applications across our suite of products including Docker Desktop, Docker Hub, and Docker Scout.\n\nWe are a globally distributed, remote-first team building the tools that define how software gets built and delivered. As AI agents redefine software development, Docker is at the center of that shift, providing the sandboxed environments, verified images, and secure infrastructure that make autonomous workflows trustworthy by default.\n\n_______________________________________________________________________\n\n\n\n\nTHE ROLE\n\nWe're building AI-native development practices into how this team works at a foundational level. That means infrastructure design needs to account for a new kind of collaborator: AI agents that generate, deploy, and operate software. The Staff Infrastructure Engineer on this team will keep systems running, define what safe, observable, AI-assisted infrastructure operations look like in practice, and set the standard for how the broader engineering organization follows.\n\n_______________________________________________________________________\n\n\n\n\nWHAT YOU'LL WORK ON\n\nThe Billing Platform Engineering team owns the systems that make Docker's commercial model real. You'll work on problems like:\n\n - How do we design infrastructure that makes AI-generated deployments safe to ship and easy to roll back?\n\n - How do we instrument billing systems so that failures — billing miscalculations, entitlement gaps, payment errors — are detected immediately and unambiguously?\n\n - How do we build infrastructure that scales with usage-based billing workloads without manual intervention?\n\n - How do we make the developer experience on this team faster and more reliable — local environments, CI/CD pipelines, deployment tooling?\n\n_______________________________________________________________________\n\n\n\n\nRESPONSIBILITIES\n\n - Own and evolve the infrastructure supporting Billing Platform services: compute, storage, networking, CI/CD, and observability\n\n - Design and maintain IaC (Terraform) for billing system infrastructure on AWS; set module patterns and standards for the team\n\n - Build and own observability systems — metrics, logging, alerting — with a focus on billing accuracy and payment reliability\n\n - Define deployment patterns and runbooks that work well in an AI-agent-assisted development workflow: clear rollback procedures, safe promotion gates, automated validation\n\n - Partner with software engineers on service design — bringing infrastructure constraints and operational requirements into the conversation before code is written\n\n - Identify systemic risks and drive improvements that span team or organizational boundaries\n\n - Lead incident response for billing system issues. This role may require participation in an on-call rotation to provide support outside of standard business hours, including evenings, weekends, and holidays, as needed.\n\n - Mentor engineers across the team; your technical judgment should raise the floor for everyone.\n\n_______________________________________________________________________\n\n\n\n\nQUALIFICATIONS\n\n - 8+ years in platform, infrastructure, or SRE roles supporting production SaaS systems at scale\n\n - Deep AWS expertise: ECS or EKS, RDS (Postgres preferred), networking, IAM, cost management — you've operated these systems under real load and real incidents\n\n - Expert-level Terraform; you've designed reusable module patterns and set standards others follow\n\n - Experience building and owning observability stacks (Datadog, Grafana, or similar) at an organizational level — not just using them\n\n - Strong familiarity with CI/CD systems — Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or equivalent — including pipeline design and developer experience ownership\n\n - Kubernetes at an operational and architectural level\n\n - A track record of identifying systemic risks and driving improvements that span team or organizational boundaries\n\n - Security-first mindset: threat modeling, blast radius analysis, least-privilege by default, audit trails as a design requirement\n\n - Strong written English; at Staff level, written communication is how you scale your influence across teams\n\n - Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience\n\n\n\n\nWHAT SETS YOU APART\n\nYou don't wait for problems to be handed to you — you find them, frame them, and drive the solution. You've operated at a scope where your decisions affected multiple teams or systems, and you know how to build consensus and move work forward without direct authority. You've thought seriously about what infrastructure needs to look like when AI agents are generating and shipping code — safe deployment patterns, strong observability, clean rollback — and you want to help define that standard here. Experience with billing, payments, or financial systems infrastructure is a meaningful plus.\n\n_______________________________________________________________________\n\n\n\n\nWHAT TO EXPECT\nFIRST 30 DAYS\n\nYou will ship code in your first week. We run an agent-first development workflow — infrastructure changes start with a plan, specifications are written before generation, and every change is reviewed before it merges — and onboarding is no exception. You will get hands-on with the infrastructure supporting Billing Platform services early, shadow on-call, and build a clear picture of the system before you start making bigger changes. By the end of 30 days you will have shipped real work and know where the most important problems are.\n\n\nFIRST 90 DAYS\n\nYou will have taken ownership of one or more infrastructure components and delivered an improvement from design to production with measurable impact. You will be an active participant in deployment and reliability discussions, bringing infrastructure constraints and operational requirements into the conversation early — before code is written. You will be a full participant in the on-call rotation and have begun shaping the team's technical direction.\n\n\nONE YEAR OUTLOOK\n\nYou will be the team's trusted authority on billing infrastructure. You will have driven meaningful improvements to observability, deployment safety, or platform reliability — and your work will be directly visible in the resilience and correctness of systems that handle real financial transactions for millions of Docker users. You will have helped define what AI-agent-assisted infrastructure operations look like done right, and that standard will be visible beyond this team.\n\n\n\nVisa sponsorship: Docker considers visa sponsorship on a case-by-case basis based on business needs.\n\n_______________________________________________________________________\n\n \n\n\nCOMPENSATION & EQUITY\n\nAll full-time roles include equity. Final compensation is determined on factors including but not limited to experience, skills, qualifications, and location.\n\n\n\nUnited States: $170,350 – $275,550 base\n\n______________________________________________________________________\n\n\n\n\nPOSTING INFORMATION\n\n - Open vacancy: This posting is for an existing open role.\n\n - AI in hiring: Docker may use AI-assisted tools during our recruiting process.\n\n - Interview recordings: Candidates will be invited to opt in to interview recordings to support interviewer calibration and consistent evaluations.

","descriptionPlain":"ABOUT DOCKER\n\nDocker has been one of the most loved brands in developer tooling, trusted by more than 20 million monthly users and over 20 billion container image pulls. From solo founders to the world's largest companies, developers rely on Docker to build, share, and run their applications across our suite of products including Docker Desktop, Docker Hub, and Docker Scout.\n\nWe are a globally distributed, remote-first team building the tools that define how software gets built and delivered. As AI agents redefine software development, Docker is at the center of that shift, providing the sandboxed environments, verified images, and secure infrastructure that make autonomous workflows trustworthy by default.\n\n_______________________________________________________________________\n\n\n\n\nTHE ROLE\n\nThe Products Team at Docker is looking for a Principal Product Manager to lead components of Docker Sandboxes. You will own and drive this strategic product area from high-level concept design through delivery, adoption, and operation. You will help shape how developers and AI agents use fast, secure, isolated environments across local and cloud workflows. You will work closely with developers inside and outside of Docker, our customers, and our partners to expand our open ecosystem offering and provide value. As the company and ecosystem grow, you will help foster teams eager to continuously build, measure, and learn.\n\n\n\nTo thrive in this role, you will need experience working with developers, deep technical fluency in systems and developer infrastructure, and prior experience as a software engineer. You will need to understand containers, sandboxes/microVMs, virtualization technologies, hypervisors, the software development lifecycle, and how untrusted or agent-generated code can be safely executed and orchestrated. You will need a relentless drive to try new things and an eye for detail. Your long-term success will depend on your ability to own the product roadmap, earn the trust of the developer community, and scale reliable services. Most importantly, you will need to be comfortable taking ownership of big objectives with big goals, working with a cross-functional team, and maintaining a bias for action.\n\n_______________________________________________________________________\n\n\n\n\nRESPONSIBILITIES\n\n - You own Docker Sandboxes, its long-term vision, roadmap, revenue, adoption, and results.\n\n - You believe in and can succinctly articulate our customers, their workflows, and their pain points. You empathize with the world they live in and the security, performance, compatibility, and cost constraints they work through.\n\n - You will engage deeply with developers building AI agents, coding environments, CI and testing systems, and other workloads that require secure, isolated execution, finding solutions for today while optimizing for tomorrow's vision.\n\n - You enjoy building infrastructure products that are easy to adopt and use. You will turn complex tradeoffs across isolation, startup time, performance, density, networking, storage, and cost into simple product experiences.\n\n - You are comfortable with ambiguity and will guide product definition, feature prioritization, and scope in concert with engineering, design, security, operations, and go-to-market teams.\n\n - You are a fan of iterative development, working with customers and cross-functional teams to hypothesize, measure adoption and impact, learn from releases, and continually improve the roadmap.\n\n_______________________________________________________________________\n\n\n\n\n\nQUALIFICATIONS\n\n - You have deep empathy for the needs of developers and are obsessed with talking to your users.\n\n - You have prior professional experience as a software engineer, ideally in systems, infrastructure, platform engineering, developer tools, or cloud.\n\n - You have strong technical familiarity with sandboxes/microVMs, containers, virtualization technologies, and hypervisors, including the isolation and security boundaries each provides.\n\n - You understand the building blocks of modern developer infrastructure, including Linux, container runtimes, orchestration, networking, storage, APIs, and cloud services.\n\n - You have experience designing, building, or operating systems that execute customer-provided, untrusted, or agent-generated code at scale.\n\n - You are comfortable interacting with a command-line interface and discussing APIs, SDKs, and technical architecture with engineers and developers.\n\n - You have experience building B2B or SaaS products, or a background in public cloud and developer infrastructure.\n\n - You understand software supply chain and software security concerns, including multi-tenant isolation, identity, secrets management, observability, and reliability.\n\n - You can break down complex technical problems into small, releasable, user-valuable features.\n\n - You can explain complex ideas simply and communicate effectively in writing, verbally, and visually across diverse stakeholders.\n\n - You can analyze qualitative and quantitative data to inform decisions, define success metrics, and prioritize investments.\n\n - You have a collaborative approach, experience running products from greenfield to scale, and the ability to work with fast-moving, distributed, cross-functional teams. You are a doer as well as a strategist; we are small and need all hands on deck.\n\n_______________________________________________________________________\n\n\n\n\nWHAT TO EXPECT\nFIRST 30 DAYS\n\n - Get to know Docker: our vision, mission, and values.\n\n - Understand the Docker Sandboxes team's mission, product strategy, and technical architecture.\n\n - Meet the team along with peers across the business unit and company.\n\n - Work closely with designers, researchers, engineers, security partners, and customers to understand user needs and current pain points.\n\n - Work with your manager and team to review and create quarterly goals.\n\n - Understand the product roadmap, key technical and business tradeoffs, and the data available to make data-driven decisions.\n\n\nFIRST 90 DAYS\n\n - Understand the company's and business unit's product vision and how Docker Sandboxes contributes to it.\n\n - Provide clarity on product vision, target users, priority use cases, and how the team contributes to the overall success of Docker.\n\n - Develop a deep understanding of our developers and customers, how they use isolated environments, and why they choose Docker.\n\n - Shape the team roadmap and product strategy in close collaboration with design, engineering, security, and go-to-market peers.\n\n - Lead the definition of team OKRs and success metrics for the quarter, and provide clear progress reports.\n\n\nONE YEAR OUTLOOK\n\n - Lead product initiatives across cross-functional teams that make secure, isolated execution simple and valuable for developers and AI agents.\n\n - Drive the long-term direction of Docker Sandboxes, including improvements to adoption, ecosystem integration, reliability, scale, unit economics, and ARR.\n\n\n\nVisa sponsorship: Not available for this role.\n\n_______________________________________________________________________\n\n\n\n\nCOMPENSATION & EQUITY\n\nAll full-time roles include equity. Final compensation is determined on factors including but not limited to experience, skills, qualifications, and location.\n\n\n\nCanada CA$255,500 - CA$365,000 base\n\nUnited States: $280,000 – $300,000 base\n\n______________________________________________________________________\n\n\n\n\nPOSTING INFORMATION\n\n - Open vacancy: This posting is for an existing open role.\n\n - AI in hiring: Docker may use AI-assisted tools during our recruiting process.\n\n - Interview recordings: Candidates will be invited to opt in to interview recordings to support interviewer calibration and consistent evaluations.

Design and build the systems that deploy, release, and operate Docker's agentic platform for enterprise customers, in Go and on Kubernetes.
Make the platform run consistently across cloud providers and environments, with the security, identity, and network boundaries enterprises require.
Own the release and supply chain path so every deployment is reproducible, verifiable, and trusted.
Run what you build: production ownership, on-call, SLOs, incident response, and the operational tooling that keeps it boring.
Set technical direction with the team's architect and engineering leadership, and work with partner teams across runtime, developer experience, identity, and observability.
Raise the bar through design review, testing discipline, and mentorship as the team grows.

You have built and operated a cloud control and management plane. Software that provisions, upgrades, and watches infrastructure for many tenants or environments, in production, with a pager. Experience at a cloud provider, a managed-service vendor, or a platform team that stamps out environments.
Kubernetes beyond deployment. You have written controllers or operators, understand reconciliation and CRDs, and know why declarative beats imperative at fleet scale.
Deep in at least one major cloud. Hands-on with compute, networking, identity, and managed services, and able to pick up a second cloud fast.
Production ownership. On-call, incident response, SLOs, post-mortems. You run what you build.
Distributed systems design. Fault tolerance, consistency, observability, idempotent reconciliation.
Go. Professional proficiency. Docker's backend and all of this team's code is Go.
10+ years of professional software engineering in infrastructure, platform, or cloud services, with the judgment to set direction for others.
Kubernetes resource orchestration and cloud controllers, such as KRO.
Release engineering and software supply chain: OCI registries, digests, license compliance.

Docker’s Professional Services team partners with customers to turn AI and cloud-native deployments into working production outcomes.
We are looking for a technically fluent Delivery Program Manager to operate delivery engagements. You will be embedded as an overlay alongside technical sales, solution architects, forward deployed engineers, and delivery partners, translating customers’ technical and business requirements into scoped service engagements and managing them through delivery.
You will be both builder and operator: designing repeatable service offerings where none exist today, and equally willing to roll up your sleeves to scope a detailed Statement of Work or unblock a stuck engagement. If you thrive in ambiguity, love building order from chaos, and operate with high autonomy and low ego, this role is for you.
_______________________________________________________________________
Operationalize the end-to-end engagement lifecycle, from scoping and kickoff through delivery, handoff, and retrospectives.
Directly manage customer engagements: plan, run governance cadences, track milestones, manage risks and dependencies, and escalations.
Review technical assumptions in scopes and SOWs with solution architects (environments, integrations, identity, network and security constraints, customer prerequisites) so estimates and timelines hold up in delivery.
Own customer readiness and handoff: environment prerequisites, acceptance criteria, and clean transition to Support and Technical Account Managers.
Partner with solution architects to create reusable delivery assets: playbooks, runbooks, statement of work templates, reference architectures, and onboarding workshops/guides.
Turn repeatable customer patterns into packaged, fixed-scope offerings with defined outcomes, durations and pricing inputs.
Build and maintain the sales-cycle engagement model and intake process for when and how Services are engaged across sales stages.
Build the program management and governance infrastructure: intake frameworks, capacity planning models, risk registers, delivery dashboards, and milestone tracking.
Define and report delivery KPIs: on-time delivery, utilization, engagement margin, customer satisfaction.
Own SOW amendment and change-order processes: define when and how scope changes are documented, approved, and reflected in project tracking.
Partner with Legal on SOW frameworks and language.

8+ years of experience in technical program management, professional services, forward deployed engineering services or equivalent cross-functional roles.
Experience at a B2B SaaS, developer tooling, or infrastructure software company delivering implementation, migration, or adoption engagements to enterprise customers.
Demonstrated experience building programs, processes, or practices from scratch not just optimizing existing ones.
Strong technical fluency: comfortable participating in systems architecture discussions, understanding system dependencies.
Strong structured problem solving, facilitation, and systems thinking, including participation in
Experience with Professional Services tooling and business systems (e.g., Salesforce, NetSuite, PSA tools)
Exceptional written and verbal communicator able to produce executive-grade program readouts and customer-facing documentation alike.

_______________________________________________________________________
Docker is seeking a Senior Principal Engineer to serve as the technical visionary and architect for how software gets built, verified, and trusted.
Every day, millions of developers pull images, install dependencies, and ship builds to production. Each of those steps is a place where something can go wrong, or be made to go wrong. Compromised base images, malicious packages, tampered build steps, unsigned artifacts moving through pipelines nobody is watching. The industry calls this the software supply chain, and it has become one of the most consequential unsolved problems in software engineering.
This role sits in Docker and Ecosystems, the group that owns Docker’s most well known products and our emerging content and SDLC business. You will own the technical strategy for secure software delivery across all of it, defining what verifiable, tamper-resistant software delivery looks like at Docker's scale, then driving the architecture that makes it real for every developer and every enterprise customer using our products.
You will set multi-year technical direction, make architectural decisions that shape Docker's product portfolio, and work directly with the SVP of Engineering and executive team on strategy. You will not manage people. You will change what the industry considers table stakes.

As a Staff Engineer you will own the technical design and delivery for two areas:
AI-Powered Developer Tools. Design and build AI agents and tools that accelerate developer productivity, surface observability insights, and automate operational reviews. You will help teams adopt an AI-native way of working and speed up adoption of tools such as Claude Code and Codex. Examples include AI-powered code review and refactoring assistants, automated test generators and local environment setup tools, deployment pipeline diagnostic agents, and agents that simplify on-call work during incidents.
Self-Service AI Developer Tools Platform. Design and build the platform infrastructure that lets product and platform teams across Docker unblock themselves by prototyping, building, and deploying their own AI developer tools. You will set the patterns and standards that let teams experiment, iterate quickly, and graduate successful prototypes into production-ready services.
You will report to the Senior Manager, AI Developer Tools, and work closely with the team's Principal engineers, engineering leadership, product engineering teams, and platform teams across Docker.
_______________________________________________________________________
You are a hands-on technical leader who works well at the intersection of AI, developer experience, and platform engineering. You have shipped production systems built on LLMs and AI agents, and you can explain what worked and what did not. You think in platforms: you design something once so that several teams can move faster. You have clear opinions about what makes a developer tool good, and sound judgment about when to build, when to integrate, and when not to do either. You are comfortable in a fast-moving AI landscape and balance technical quality with shipping iteratively. Before you design, you ask about scale, users, and constraints rather than assuming them. You lead through influence and mentorship, and the engineers around you get better because you are on the team.
_______________________________________________________________________
Set technical direction and own the architecture for AI-powered developer tools and the self-service platform within the team's roadmap
Turn ambiguous problems into clear requirements, plans, and staged decisions. Ask about scale, users, and constraints before designing, and write down your assumptions

Build systems that speed up adoption of AI-native development tools (Claude Code, Codex) across Docker's engineering organization
Set and meet reliability, security, and performance standards for AI systems, including SLOs, monitoring, incident response, and cost management
Design integrations between AI developer tools and existing developer infrastructure such as CI/CD pipelines, observability platforms, and deployment systems
Take part in the team's on-call rotation and use what you learn to improve alerts, runbooks, and tooling
Evaluate emerging AI/LLM technologies, developer tooling trends, and agent frameworks, and recommend what Docker should adopt and what it should not build
Define how we measure AI tool effectiveness, including adoption, productivity gains, and developer satisfaction
Improve AI tool performance, cost efficiency, and developer experience through architectural improvements
Contribute to the technical approach for hardening proven internal tools so other teams across Docker can adopt them
Lead cross-team technical delivery, surface risks early, and work with Infrastructure, Security, and Data on shared standards
Mentor senior engineers on AI/LLM integration patterns, agent development, and platform engineering practices
Lead design reviews and raise the quality of design and code reviews across the team
Create reusable patterns, documentation, and architectural decision records (ADRs) that other engineers build on

_______________________________________________________________________
Docker helps developers build, share, and run software with confidence. As AI agents take on more of the development workflow, we’re extending that mission: giving developers the freedom to work with powerful agents in sandboxed environments, with the isolation and controls organizations need to adopt them safely.
We’re looking for a Product Manager, AI Gateway to help make secure model access a seamless part of that experience. Sandboxes establish boundaries around where agents execute; the gateway addresses how those agents connect to AI models. You’ll shape experiences that make it easy to get started while giving organizations control over model access, credentials, sensitive data, and usage.
This role is about making safety and developer productivity reinforce each other. You’ll partner closely with the Sandboxes team, engineering, design, and customers to turn complex infrastructure and security requirements into intuitive workflows, from a developer’s first sandboxed agent session to organization-wide adoption. You’ll own the gateway’s product direction, balancing choice and interoperability with governance, reliability, and cost.
_______________________________________________________________________
Own product strategy and prioritization. Define the vision, roadmap, and success measures for the gateway, balancing developer adoption with enterprise requirements.
Understand developers and enterprise customers. Work directly with developers, AI teams, platform engineers, and security stakeholders to uncover needs, validate solutions, and guide investment.
Make secure onboarding simple. Improve the journey from launching a sandbox and authenticating to connecting an agent, selecting a model, and completing the first useful task.
Build a cohesive developer experience. Partner with engineering and design on APIs, CLI tools, administration experiences, documentation, and integrations with AI coding tools.
Shape model access and interoperability. Work directly with inference providers to evaluate model capabilities, plan integrations, and align on capacity, reliability, and pricing. Prioritize model discovery and compatibility so customers can adopt new models without unnecessary integration work.
Define enterprise safety and governance experiences. Translate requirements for identity, access management, credential protection, policy enforcement, and auditability into clear, usable capabilities.
Guide reliability and cost-management decisions. Define traffic balancing, routing, and fallback strategies across multiple inference providers, balancing model quality, latency, availability, and cost. Own inference cost-management priorities, including usage visibility, budgets, and spend optimization.
Drive execution and launches. Write focused product requirements, make explicit tradeoffs, and partner with customer-facing teams on positioning, onboarding, release readiness, and continuous learning.
_______________________________________________________________________
10+ years of product management experience, with experience building developer tools, infrastructure, security, or platform products.
Demonstrated success taking a product from concept to launch, including validating customer demand, defining the initial scope, and driving adoption after release.

Hands-on experience with AI tools and agent workflows, and an informed perspective on the challenges of giving agents secure access to models, tools, and data.
Strong product judgment and analytical skills, with examples of using customer research and product data to prioritize investments and measure results.

_______________________________________________________________________
We're looking for a Director of Product Design to lead the team behind existing and new products in the Docker portfolio, spanning our GUIs and the CLI. You'll manage the designers and raise the quality of what they ship, and you'll stay close enough to the work to build and critique it yourself, from the first prototype to the details of spacing, states, and copy.

You will report to the SVP of Design. This role is remote, with working hours that overlap US and Europe time zones.
_______________________________________________________________________
Lead and grow the product design team.
Set the craft bar expected at each level and hold it through critique and your own work.
Partner with engineering and product from the start of a project, so design and engineering ship together.
Give designers ownership of important problems, with the context and trust to make good calls.
Shape how the team works with AI tools: human judgment leads, and the tools speed up the work.
Work with design engineering and the design system team so the shared system helps teams move faster without limiting new ideas.
_______________________________________________________________________
You lead people:
You have led a product design team of comparable size through change, and you have grown designers from mid-level through senior and staff.
You have partnered closely with design engineers and engineering leaders, and you can engage with the technical decisions that shape the experience.
You state a clear point of view to engineering and product leaders and stay open to challenge and better ideas.
You build:
You still make things. You can prototype, critique a flow at the level of spacing, states, motion, and copy, and show us work from the last year. We will ask to see it.
You use AI tools in your daily work and can show how you use them, including when you step in because the output isn't good enough.
You have designed technically complex products and can turn underlying systems into experiences that feel clear and intuitive.
Have led design for AI-powered or agent products, including experiences beyond a graphical interface.
Have designed for both developer-led adoption and complex enterprise customers.
Can prototype in front-end code, such as React or TypeScript.

_______________________________________________________________________
Docker Forward Deployed Engineers (FDE) embed directly with our most strategic customers to solve important, complex technical problems and turn ambitious ideas into production outcomes. FDEs take on the most challenging technical challenges using existing Docker products and patterns when possible, and work across customer, Docker Product and Engineering teams to realize new approaches when required.
As a Docker FDE, you will work side-by-side with customer engineering teams to deeply understand their goals, problems, constraints, and technical landscape; identify the highest-leverage opportunities; and design, build, and ship solutions with them. You own the technical journey from discovery and architecture through prototyping, implementation and production rollout.
The solutions you build may use existing Docker products, extend Docker into new environments, integrate deeply with customer and third-party systems, or reveal capabilities that Docker should build next. You work closely with Docker Solutions Architects to evolve existing patterns, and Docker Product and Engineering to turn new learnings into reusable patterns and product capabilities.
_______________________________________________________________________
Build in Production with Customers
Embed with customer engineering teams to design, build, and ship solutions from first prototype through stable production rollout. Use existing Docker products and patterns when possible, invent, prototype and validate innovative solutions when necessary.
Deliver working technical artifacts to customers: custom MCP servers with tightly integrated Docker Sandbox environments for coding agents and containerized agents; Docker Compose definitions for multi-agent harnesses and model-backed applications; Hardened Image standardization and migration; New tools that unblock customer progress.
Integrate Docker's AI platform with the customer's existing stack, including identity providers (OIDC/SAML/SSO), secrets management, private and air-gapped registries, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, and observability tooling.
Own technical delivery on your engagements: scope the work, sequence it, make trade-offs between speed and quality, remove blockers early, and contribute directly to code whenever progress depends on it.
Make AI Adoption Safe and Governable
Translate customer security, compliance, and platform requirements into concrete plans and see those plans through from ideation to production.
Help customers define controls to enable them to adopt agentic AI to solve their unique business problems without compromising security, compliance, data sovereignty or end-user experience.
Establish quality and performance standards for customers and work closely with Docker Product and Engineering to quickly address issues that fall outside of established thresholds
Partner with customer security and platform teams to get agentic workloads through architecture review, threat modeling, and change control.
Partner with Solutions Architecture and the Field
Work closely with Solutions Architects to enable off-the-self solutions when possible and provide technical experience and leadership when a bespoke solution is necessary.
Feed implementation learnings back into reference architectures, SOW templates, and success patterns so that FDE innovations become standard features and implementation patterns.
Support the field with technical depth during proofs of concept, escalations, and expansion conversations when a working build is the fastest path to a customer adoption.
Close the Loop with Product and Engineering
As part of Docker Engineering FDEs work closely with Product and Engineering teams to fold FDE innovations, learnings, and design patterns into existing or new products and services.
Work with Customers, Product and Engineering to establish quality and performance thresholds, ensuring customer environments meet them consistently, and responding quickly and decisively when they don’t.
Be the voice of the customer. Deliver data-driven and actionable feedback to Product and Engineering: what works well; what does not; what customers are asking for; and what blocks their adoption and forward progress. FDE experience directly influences the roadmap.
Shape the Practice
Define the FDE engagement model, delivery standards, and quality bar, and codify them so that engagements are consistent across customers, regions, and delivery partners.
Mentor and lead other Forward Deployed Engineers, and participate in hiring loops to grow the team.
Act as the senior technical escalation point on the hardest problems impacting your customers. Every incident is an opportunity to improve Docker products and services.
Maintain deep, current knowledge of the agentic AI stack: LLMs, APIs, MCP, coding agents, model and harness evaluation approaches, performance and quality thresholds, deployment patterns.
This role may require participation in an on-call rotation to provide support outside of standard business hours, including evenings, weekends, and holidays, as needed.

","descriptionPlain":"ABOUT DOCKER\n\nDocker has been one of the most loved brands in developer tooling, trusted by more than 20 million monthly users and over 20 billion container image pulls. From solo founders to the world's largest companies, developers rely on Docker to build, share, and run their applications across our suite of products including Docker Desktop, Docker Hub, and Docker Scout.\n\nWe are a globally distributed, remote-first team building the tools that define how software gets built and delivered. As AI agents redefine software development, Docker is at the center of that shift, providing the sandboxed environments, verified images, and secure infrastructure that make autonomous workflows trustworthy by default.\n\n_______________________________________________________________________\n\n\n\n\nTHE ROLE\n\nDocker Forward Deployed Engineers (FDE) embed directly with our most strategic customers to solve important, complex technical problems and turn ambitious ideas into production outcomes. FDEs take on the most challenging technical challenges using existing Docker products and patterns when possible, and work across customer, Docker Product and Engineering teams to realize new approaches when required.\n\n \n\nAs a Docker FDE, you will work side-by-side with customer engineering teams to deeply understand their goals, problems, constraints, and technical landscape; identify the highest-leverage opportunities; and design, build, and ship solutions with them. You own the technical journey from discovery and architecture through prototyping, implementation and production rollout.\n\n \n\nThe solutions you build may use existing Docker products, extend Docker into new environments, integrate deeply with customer and third-party systems, or reveal capabilities that Docker should build next. You work closely with Docker Solutions Architects to evolve existing patterns, and Docker Product and Engineering to turn new learnings into reusable patterns and product capabilities.\n\n_______________________________________________________________________\n\n \n\n\nRESPONSIBILITIES\n\nBuild in Production with Customers\n\n - Embed with customer engineering teams to design, build, and ship solutions from first prototype through stable production rollout. Use existing Docker products and patterns when possible, invent, prototype and validate innovative solutions when necessary.\n\n - Deliver working technical artifacts to customers: custom MCP servers with tightly integrated Docker Sandbox environments for coding agents and containerized agents; Docker Compose definitions for multi-agent harnesses and model-backed applications; Hardened Image standardization and migration; New tools that unblock customer progress.\n\n - Integrate Docker's AI platform with the customer's existing stack, including identity providers (OIDC/SAML/SSO), secrets management, private and air-gapped registries, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, and observability tooling.\n\n - Own technical delivery on your engagements: scope the work, sequence it, make trade-offs between speed and quality, remove blockers early, and contribute directly to code whenever progress depends on it.\n\nMake AI Adoption Safe and Governable\n\n - Translate customer security, compliance, and platform requirements into concrete plans and see those plans through from ideation to production.\n\n - Help customers define controls to enable them to adopt agentic AI to solve their unique business problems without compromising security, compliance, data sovereignty or end-user experience.\n\n - Establish quality and performance standards for customers and work closely with Docker Product and Engineering to quickly address issues that fall outside of established thresholds\n\n - Partner with customer security and platform teams to get agentic workloads through architecture review, threat modeling, and change control.\n\nPartner with Solutions Architecture and the Field\n\n - Work closely with Solutions Architects to enable off-the-self solutions when possible and provide technical experience and leadership when a bespoke solution is necessary.\n\n - Feed implementation learnings back into reference architectures, SOW templates, and success patterns so that FDE innovations become standard features and implementation patterns.\n\n - Support the field with technical depth during proofs of concept, escalations, and expansion conversations when a working build is the fastest path to a customer adoption.\n\nClose the Loop with Product and Engineering\n\n - As part of Docker Engineering FDEs work closely with Product and Engineering teams to fold FDE innovations, learnings, and design patterns into existing or new products and services.\n\n - Work with Customers, Product and Engineering to establish quality and performance thresholds, ensuring customer environments meet them consistently, and responding quickly and decisively when they don’t.\n\n - Be the voice of the customer. Deliver data-driven and actionable feedback to Product and Engineering: what works well; what does not; what customers are asking for; and what blocks their adoption and forward progress. FDE experience directly influences the roadmap.\n\nShape the Practice\n\n - Define the FDE engagement model, delivery standards, and quality bar, and codify them so that engagements are consistent across customers, regions, and delivery partners.\n\n - Mentor and lead other Forward Deployed Engineers, and participate in hiring loops to grow the team.\n\n - Act as the senior technical escalation point on the hardest problems impacting your customers. Every incident is an opportunity to improve Docker products and services.\n\n - Maintain deep, current knowledge of the agentic AI stack: LLMs, APIs, MCP, coding agents, model and harness evaluation approaches, performance and quality thresholds, deployment patterns.\n\n - This role may require participation in an on-call rotation to provide support outside of standard business hours, including evenings, weekends, and holidays, as needed.\n\n_______________________________________________________________________\n\n \n\n\nQUALIFICATIONS\n\nRequired\n\n - 10+ years of software engineering experience, including 4+ years in a customer-facing technical role such as Forward Deployed Engineer, Solutions Engineer, Professional Services Engineer, or Software Engineer with consulting or technical founder experience.\n\n - Technical leadership across multiple engagements, teams, or domains, with a proven ability to set delivery standards, define repeatable patterns, and influence product direction through field evidence.\n\n - Expert production coding skills in Go, Python, or TypeScript, with a track record of shipping and operating software that other people depend on and of leading technical design reviews.\n\n - Deep, hands-on Docker expertise: Dockerfiles and multi-stage builds, Docker Compose, image and registry operations, container networking and storage, and container security fundamentals.\n\n - Hands-on experience building with LLMs and agents in production, including tool use and function calling, the Model Context Protocol (MCP server and client implementation), prompt and context engineering, and evaluation of agent behavior.\n\n - Working knowledge of software supply chain security: SBOMs, image signing and attestation, vulnerability management, minimal and hardened base images, and secure CI/CD.\n\n - Experience integrating with enterprise systems: identity providers (Okta, Entra ID, LDAP/Active Directory), federated identity protocols (OIDC, SAML), secrets managers, Kubernetes, and at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, GCP).\n\n - Ability to scope and deliver complex work in ambiguous, fast-moving customer environments, making sound trade-offs between scope, speed, and quality.\n\n - Excellent communication skills with engineers, security and platform teams, and executive stakeholders, with a low-ego, collaborative approach and the ability to lead through influence rather than authority.\n\n - Proven track record of technical mentorship and of raising the bar for the engineers around you.\n\n - High agency and comfort operating autonomously in distributed, remote-first teams.\n\n - Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.\n\n - Travel to customer sites to build in person with customer teams, estimated at up to 50%.\n\nBonus \n\n - Experience with Docker Hardened Images, Docker Scout, MCP Gateway, MCP Toolkit, Docker Sandboxes, or Docker Model Runner.\n\n - Experience deploying and operating coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, or similar) in team or enterprise settings.\n\n - Experience with air-gapped, regulated, or compliance-driven environments in financial services, healthcare, government, or similar sectors.\n\n - Contributions to open source projects in the container, Kubernetes, or MCP ecosystems.\n\n - Prior experience founding or scaling a Forward Deployed Engineering or Professional Services practice.\n\n\n\nVisa sponsorship: Docker considers visa sponsorship on a case-by-case basis based on business needs.\n\n_______________________________________________________________________\n\n\n\n\nCOMPENSATION & EQUITY\n\nAll full-time roles include equity.
