Original job description

ABOUT DOCKER

Docker 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.

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 ROLE

Docker's Platform Engineering team builds and operates the cloud-native platform behind Docker's products. Inside the company, teams across Engineering and the business rely on a growing set of internal applications, and each one is built, deployed, and run a little differently.

We're looking for a Senior Engineer to give those applications a common foundation and then build the custom tools the business needs on top of it. You'll create a framework that makes it easy to build and deploy internal tools, including slack bots, web apps, workflows, etc, with authentication, hosting, observability, and alerting in place. You'll use it to build internally-facing tools to support cross-org efforts: roadmapping, headcount management, business reporting, etc. You'll decide when to build, when to buy, and when to integrate an existing product. You'll help shape how internal systems fit together across the company.

This is a hands-on role. You'll own projects from scoping through rollout and adoption, working with platform leads, engineering teams, and business teams such as HR, Finance, Marketing, and Customer Support.

_______________________________________________________________________

WHAT YOU'LL DO

INTERNAL APP FRAMEWORK

Build and maintain a framework that makes it fast to create and deploy internal applications and services, with defaults for authentication, hosting, CI/CD, logging, observability, and alerting
Provide templates, documentation, and examples so teams can ship their own tools without starting from scratch
Set the standards for how internal apps are built, secured, and run, and make the standard path the easiest one
Leverage existing systems and sources of truth to build cross-connects where they don’t exist

CUSTOM BUSINESS TOOLING

Work across teams and organizations to understand where tools, processes, or systems are falling short, and turn those gaps into proposals that platform leads can prioritize
Scope and deliver apps and tooling to address identified gaps
Ship early versions quickly, learn from how people use them, and improve them over time
Own the tools you build through rollout, adoption, and ongoing support

BUILD, BUY, OR INTEGRATE

Evaluate whether a need is best met by building, buying, or integrating an existing product, and recommend one with the tradeoffs
Connect tools to the systems the company already uses, such as identity, data sources, and Slack, so they work together
Help shape the architecture of internal systems, so they stay consistent and maintainable as the company grows

RELIABILITY AND AI

Build operational basics into the framework, so every internal app gets incident management, SLO, and alerting defaults automatically
Use AI tooling to speed up delivery and to automate workflows where it adds value

_______________________________________________________________________

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

REQUIRED

6+ years of software engineering, including building and shipping internal tools or full-stack web applications
Strong full-stack skills: a backend language such as Go, Python, or TypeScript, and a modern frontend framework
Experience designing reusable frameworks, templates, or platforms that other engineers build on
Experience deploying to the cloud (AWS, GCP, or Azure) with containers and CI/CD, and working knowledge of Kubernetes
Sound judgment on build, buy, and integrate decisions, and experience integrating third-party SaaS products and APIs
Experience working directly with non-engineering stakeholders to turn a need into a working tool
Experience with AI-assisted development or LLM-powered automation
Clear written communication and comfort working asynchronously on a remote team
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience

NICE TO HAVE

Cross-functional experience in program management
Experience with internal tool or developer portal platforms
Web design experience
Familiarity with observability and incident tooling (incident.io http://incident.io, Grafana, Prometheus, or similar)
Experience at a developer tooling or SaaS company at scale, and familiarity with compliance and security standards

Visa sponsorship: Docker considers visa sponsorship on a case-by-case basis based on business needs.

_______________________________________________________________________

COMPENSATION & EQUITY

All full-time roles include equity. Final compensation is determined on factors including but not limited to experience, skills, qualifications, and location.

United States: $160,900 – $260,700 base

______________________________________________________________________

POSTING INFORMATION

Open vacancy: This posting is for an existing open role.
AI in hiring: Docker may use AI-assisted tools during our recruiting process.
Interview recordings: Candidates will be invited to opt in to interview recordings to support interviewer calibration and consistent evaluations. Recordings are optional and require explicit consent.

______________________________________________________________________

PERKS & BENEFITS

Remote-first by design – Work from your home, with offices in Seattle and Paris for connection and collaboration.
Flexibility that fits your life – We trust you to manage your schedule while delivering great work.
Time to recharge – Generous PTO, designated quarterly Whaleness Days, and a designated end-of-year Whaleness break.
Home office support – Set up your workspace for comfort and success.
Technology stipend – Equivalent to US$100 net per month to help support your work.
Learning & development – Annual stipend for conferences, courses, certifications, and continued learning.
Parental leave – 16 weeks of paid parental leave after six months of employment.
Equity for all full-time employees – Share in Docker's long-term success as we continue to grow.
Comprehensive benefits – Medical, retirement, and paid holidays vary by country.
Docker swag – Because representing the whale never gets old.

Docker is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to building a team that reflects a broad range of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. We believe diverse teams build better products, make better decisions, and better serve our global community.
