About the role
- 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.
- 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 early signal is already in market - Docker Sandboxes is one of the fastest-growing new products in Docker's history - and the opportunity ahead is much larger.
Responsibilities
- Agents are becoming essential for everyone who builds, deploys, and operates software.
- Define the developer experience. Work with design and engineering to ensure that our AI products are intuitive, powerful, and meet people where they are - whether in the CLI, IDE, or CI pipeline.
- Collaborate across Docker. You will work cross-functionally to ensure coherent product experiences and go-to-market alignment.
- Influence technical direction. Partner with engineering leadership on architecture decisions. You don't need to write the code, but you need to understand the technical tradeoffs and have informed opinions about them.
- Represent the customer. Engage directly with developers, enterprises, and partners. Bring their voice into every product decision.
- Own the product strategy.
- Make hard tradeoff decisions about what to build, what to defer, and what to cut.
- We are committed to building a team that represents a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills.
Requirements
- 10+ years of product management experience, with at least 5 years on developer tools, infrastructure, or platform products.
- You can read an architecture diagram, understand container and VM runtimes, and have a working knowledge of how AI agents, LLMs, and protocol-level tool connectivity work.
- Proven ability to ship 0-to-1 products.
- You have taken a product from idea through launch in a fast-moving environment.
- You know how to operate when there is no playbook.
- You are a doer, not just a thinker.
- Comfort with ambiguity.
- You thrive when the answer isn't obvious and you have to go find it.
- You can write a crisp product brief, present to executives, and debate technical tradeoffs with engineers - all in the same day.
- Experience growing and monetizing products at scale.
- Experience. 10+ years of product management experience, with at least 5 years on developer tools, infrastructure, or platform products.
- Deep technical fluency. You can read an architecture diagram, understand container and VM runtimes, and have a working knowledge of how AI agents, LLMs, and protocol-level tool connectivity work. You don't need to be a hypervisor engineer, but you need to hold your own with one.
- Proven ability to ship 0-to-1 products. You have taken a product from idea through launch in a fast-moving environment. You know how to operate when there is no playbook.
- Builder mentality. You prototype, you sketch architectures, you test early ideas with customers before the spec is done. You are a doer, not just a thinker.
- Strong product sense and UX instincts. You care about the developer experience at a deep level - from API design to CLI ergonomics to error messages.
- Strategic thinking with execution follow-through. You can set a multi-year vision and also write the spec for what ships next sprint.
- Comfort with ambiguity. This space is new and moving fast. You thrive when the answer isn't obvious and you have to go find it.
- Excellent communication. You can write a crisp product brief, present to executives, and debate technical tradeoffs with engineers - all in the same day.
- Experience growing and monetizing products at scale. You have been part of taking a product from early adoption to meaningful revenue, and you understand the pricing, packaging, and go-to-market decisions that make that happen.
- Experience building products in the containers, cloud-native, or DevOps space
