About the role
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Responsibilities
- 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
- Build and own observability systems - metrics, logging, alerting - with a focus on billing accuracy and payment reliability
- 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.
- Design and maintain IaC (Terraform) for billing system infrastructure on AWS; set module patterns and standards for the team
- Flexibility that fits your life - We trust you to manage your schedule while delivering great work.
- 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.
Requirements
- 8+ years in platform, infrastructure, or SRE roles supporting production SaaS systems at scale
- A track record of identifying systemic risks and driving improvements that span team or organizational boundaries
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
- 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
- Strong written English; at Staff level, written communication is how you scale your influence across teams
Nice to have
- Deep AWS expertise: ECS or EKS, RDS (Postgres preferred), networking, IAM, cost management - you've operated these systems under real load and real incidents
- Experience with billing, payments, or financial systems infrastructure is a meaningful plus.
