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.
- Docker Hardened Images (DHI) is Docker's catalogue of security-hardened, enterprise-grade container images and Helm charts - built to be minimal, up-to-date, and safe to deploy in regulated and security-conscious environments.
Responsibilities
- Authoring and maintaining image definition files that track upstream OSS project releases, define build steps, and keep our catalogue current across dozens of images
- Writing Go-based integration tests that validate images and charts behave correctly in real Kubernetes environments
- 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.
- We are committed to building a team that represents a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills.
Requirements
- 6+ years of backend engineering experience with production-grade systems
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
- Strong familiarity with the container and Kubernetes ecosystem - you know what cert-manager, kyverno, grafana, and istio are, you've deployed them, and you can read upstream Helm chart source without getting lost
- Comfort with YAML as a primary working medium - you think carefully about structure, conventions, and patterns
- Familiarity with GitHub-heavy open source workflows - PRs, upstream tracking, monorepo conventions
- Experience as a package maintainer (any Linux distribution, Homebrew, etc.)
- Familiarity with supply chain tooling (Sigstore, SBOM, SLSA)
- Experience in a regulated or security-conscious environment
- Familiarity with GitHub-heavy open source workflows
- we want you comfortable while you work
- Understanding of container security basics - non-root users, UID/GID, image layers, multi-arch builds, supply chain concepts
- Some Go ability - enough to read and write test code, not to build distributed systems
- A maintainer mindset - you take pride in consistency, catch drift from patterns, and think about how your change affects others downstream
- Helm chart authorship or contribution experience
- Docker considers visa sponsorship on a case-by-case basis based on business needs.
- Freedom & flexibility; fit your work around your life
