Docker, Inc is a company that simplifies the lives of developers by tackling the complexity of app development. They offer tools that allow developers to bring their ideas to life through containerization and orchestration, making the development process easier and more efficient. Docker's products, including Docker Desktop and Docker Hub, are widely adopted by millions of developers worldwide, enhancing workflows and providing an integrated development pipeline.

📋 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.

🏖️ Benefits

• Freedom & flexibility; fit your work around your life • Designated quarterly Whaleness Days plus end of year Whaleness break • Home office setup; we want you comfortable while you work • 16 weeks of paid Parental leave (after 6 months of employment) • Technology stipend equivalent to $100 USD net/month • PTO plan that encourages you to take time to do the things you enjoy • Training stipend for conferences, courses and classes • Equity; we are a growing start-up and want all employees to have a share in the success of the company • Docker Swag • Medical benefits, retirement and holidays vary by country • Remote-first culture, with offices in Seattle and Paris
