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
