• 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

Nice to Have

• 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
