About the role
Who you are
- The ideal candidate not only has experience building and running services at scale, but also understands the importance of security and policy enforcement in protecting modern software supply chains
- 5+ years of experience building, deploying, and monitoring microservices on top of cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP, etc.)
- Proficiency in modern programming languages (we primarily use Go)
- Knowledge of relational and non-relational databases in high-volume environments
- Strong grasp of software engineering best practices (code review, source control, CI/CD, testing)
- Comfortable working with autonomy across distributed, remote teams
- Bonus points: hands-on experience in infrastructure security, policy enforcement, or compliance frameworks (e.g., SLSA, SOC 2, FedRAMP)
What the job involves
- The Supply Chain Security group is rethinking software development and operations security with a holistic, developer-first approach
- We’re building an end-to-end solution for securing the container ecosystem — from the developer’s inner loop to production — with automation, scalability, and ease-of-use at the center
- We’re looking for a Senior Backend Engineer who thrives at the intersection of large-scale infrastructure and security
- You’ll collaborate with product managers, designers, and other engineers to deliver, secure, and evolve Docker’s registry and SaaS offerings — shaping the way developers around the world deliver containers more effectively and securely
- Develop, deploy, and monitor microservices and serverless components in AWS
- Build and improve automation tooling including GitHub Actions, Argo CD, and Grafana dashboards
- Tackle high-performance engineering challenges to deliver container images and metadata efficiently and securely
- Design and enforce security and compliance policies across delivery pipelines
- Collectively own the security posture and developer experience of secure container images
- First 30 Days:
- Meet the team and understand the mission
- Explore the codebase and ship your first small change
- First 90 Days:
- Feel confident in a portion of the codebase
- Ship a more significant change and demo it internally
- Attend a customer call to learn how our registry supports real-world needs
- Gain a working understanding of Docker personas and how they apply to the registry
- First Year:
- Take ownership over a functional area (scope depends on level)
- Help shape the direction of Docker products, with a strong focus on security and policy enforcement
- Collaborate across teams to deliver end-to-end features that strengthen supply chain
