At Docker, we simplify the lives of developers who are making world-changing apps. Docker helps developers bring their ideas to reality by conquering the complexity of app development. We simplify and accelerate workflows with an integrated development pipeline and application components. Actively used by millions of developers around the world, Docker Desktop and Docker Hub provide unmatched simplicity, agility and choice.

📋 Description

• 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. • Assist in shaping AI-assisted and agentic workflows to cut operational toil while ensuring safety, auditability, and human oversight.

🎯 Requirements

• 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.
