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.
  • What separates a good candidate from the right one is anticipation.

  • Champion engineering excellence: API-first design, zero-trust security posture, microservices architecture, and cloud-native operational practices.
  • Own end-to-end reliability, driving 99.9%+ uptime across billing-critical and identity-critical systems.

  • Familiarity with enterprise IAM concepts including SSO, SAML, OIDC, RBAC, and policy enforcement at scale.
