Who you are

• Strong software development skills in Go, Python, or similar (design, testing, and code review)
• Significant experience shipping and operating cloud applications/services in production (typically 5+ years of relevant work)
• Solid foundation in Linux, networking, and cloud security
• Excellent written and verbal communication in a remote environment
• Kubernetes ecosystem (EKS, ingress, CNI, service mesh)
• Observability tooling (OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana)
• CI/CD & release automation (GitHub Actions, Argo CD)
• Cost optimisation at scale (FinOps, capacity modelling)
• Distributed systems, containers, and Go‑based platform tooling

What the job involves

• Our Infrastructure Engineering team writes software and operates the cloud‑native platform that powers Docker products such as Docker Hub, Docker Build Cloud, and Docker Scout
• We design resilient services, automate everything, and measure what matters so hundreds of engineers can ship features to millions of users every day
• Build and run internal platform services (provisioning APIs, cost‑optimisation tools, observability pipelines) on AWS
• Evolve our multi‑tenant Kubernetes environment and networking layer to deliver secure, reliable, and cost‑effective compute at global scale
• Drive reliability through code, embracing GitOps, Infrastructure as Code, and SLO‑based operations
• How We Work
• Code first: we tackle infra problems with software, design docs, and rigorous code review
• Async & remote‑first: decisions are documented in RFCs; incident reviews are blameless and written
• Cross‑functional: platform, product, and security engineers collaborate daily to unblock each other
• Continuous improvement: we ship small, measure impact, and iterate quickly
• Design, develop, and ship internal platform services (e.g. provisioning, cost insights, rate‑limiting) in Go or Python
• Partner with product and engineering teams to provide paved‑road patterns for deployment, observability, and security
• Codify infrastructure with Terraform and Go; champion GitOps best practices
• Define SLOs, lead on‑call rotations, conduct blameless post‑mortems, and implement preventive actions
• Evolve Docker’s ingress stack—Envoy Gateway, ALB/NLB, AWS VPC CNI—to deliver secure, reliable, and cost‑efficient request routing
• Operate and scale multi‑tenant EKS clusters; guide the evaluation and adoption of new infrastructure technologies
• First 30 Days
• Complete Docker onboarding and meet teammates across Engineering, Security, and Product
• Ship your first change to a Terraform module or internal service and shadow on‑call
• Gain a deep understanding of our platform architecture, SLOs, and current reliability initiatives
• First 90 Days
• Take ownership of a critical service or infrastructure component and lead a performance‑oriented project from design to production
• Rotate fully into the on‑call schedule, leading incident response when needed
• Contribute to refining our platform roadmap and advocate for improvements that reduce toil and accelerate delivery
• First Year
• Lead the design and rollout of a major infrastructure initiative
• Become a go‑to subject matter expert within Docker for cloud platform and networking
• Mentor newer engineers and influence engineering culture through technical leadership and continuous improvement
