At Docker, we make app development easier so developers can focus on what matters. Our remote-first team spans the globe, united by a passion for innovation and great developer experiences. With over 20 million monthly users and 20 billion image pulls, Docker is the #1 tool for building, sharing, and running apps—trusted by startups and Fortune 100s alike. We're growing fast and just getting started. Come join us for a whale of a ride

We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Enterprise Platform team within the Infrastructure organization. In this role, you'll build customer-facing applications and workflows that enable enterprise success on Docker. You'll work on the systems that power how the world's largest organizations manage, govern, and observe their Docker deployments at scale.

This is an opportunity to have a significant impact on Docker's enterprise trajectory. The features you build will directly support companies in the Fortune 100, enabling them to adopt Docker products across thousands of developers with the governance controls they require.

Responsibilities

Build Enterprise-Grade Products

• Develop features for Docker's Enterprise Command Center, the consolidated administrative interface where enterprise admins manage access, billing, policies, and configurations across all Docker products

• Implement group management and RBAC (Role-Based Access Control) capabilities that make it easy to implement policy scoping at global, group, and user levels

• Build unified access control endpoints that abstract permissions, settings, and policies for product teams across Docker

Create Observability & Compliance Solutions

• Develop customer-facing insights dashboards with near-real-time reporting and granular filtering capabilities

• Build audit logging infrastructure that supports high-volume use cases and user-level activity tracking

• Implement SIEM/API integrations enabling enterprises to ingest Docker telemetry into leading data warehousing solutions.

Drive Technical Excellence

• Write clean, well-tested, and maintainable code following engineering best practices

• Participate in code reviews and contribute to technical design discussions

• Lead projects or steps within larger initiatives, coordinating with cross-functional teams

• Act as a technical resource for more junior teammates

Collaborate Across Teams

• Partner with product management to translate enterprise customer requirements into technical solutions, building cross-cutting solutions to customer problems.

• Build relationships with other engineering and product teams; collaborating on technical designs, code reviews and the design and launch of new internal APIs to provide a single pane of glass for Docker customers.

Qualifications

• 6+ years of software engineering experience with in-depth practical knowledge of modern web development

• Proficiency in one or more backend languages (Go, Python, Java, or similar)

• Clear written and verbal communication skills

• Experience building relationships across multiple teams to drive outcomes

• Comfort receiving general instructions on routine work while exercising judgment within defined processes

Nice to Have

• Experience building enterprise SaaS applications with multi-tenancy

• Familiarity with identity management (OIDC, SAML, SCIM) and access control systems

• Experience with observability tools (Datadog, Splunk, New Relic)

• Background in building billing or metering systems

• Exposure to compliance requirements (SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR)

What to Expect

First 90 Days

• Ship your first feature to production with guidance from senior engineers
