Job summary

Docker, Inc. is seeking a Senior Engineer for Platform Engineering to create a reusable internal app framework and the tools that power roadmaps, headcount reporting, and business workflows across the company.

This hands-on role spans scoping through rollout, collaborating with HR, Finance, Marketing, and Customer Support to deliver reliable, scalable solutions. You’ll decide when to build, buy, or integrate, and ensure authentication, hosting, observability, and AI-assisted automation are baked

Qualifications

• 6+ years of software engineering experience including internal tools or full-stack web apps
• Experience designing reusable frameworks, templates, or platforms that other engineers build on
• Experience deploying to the cloud (AWS, GCP, or Azure) with containers and CI/CD, and working knowledge of Kubernetes
• Sound judgment on build, buy, and integrate decisions, and experience integrating third-party SaaS products and APIs
• Experience working directly with non-engineering stakeholders to turn a need into a working tool
• Experience with AI-assisted development or LLM-powered automation
• Clear written communication and comfort working asynchronously on a remote team
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain an internal app framework with authentication, hosting, CI/CD, logging, observability, and alerting
• Provide templates, docs, and examples so teams can ship tools quickly
• Set standards for internal apps’ security, run environments, and ease of use
• Leverage existing systems to build cross-connects where none exist
• Collaborate across teams to scope, propose, and deliver tooling to address gaps
• Ship early versions, learn from usage, and improve over time
• Own tools through rollout, adoption, and ongoing support
• Evaluate build vs buy vs integrate and connect tools to company systems (identity, data, Slack)
• Help shape architecture of internal systems to stay maintainable as Docker grows
• Build reliability and AI-driven automation into tooling
