Job description

ABOUT DOCKER

Docker has been one of the most loved brands in developer tooling, trusted by more than 20 million monthly users and over 20 billion container image pulls. From solo founders to the world's largest companies, developers rely on Docker to build, share, and run their applications across our suite of products including Docker Desktop, Docker Hub, and Docker Scout.

We are a globally distributed, remote-first team building the tools that define how software gets built and delivered. As AI agents redefine software development, Docker is at the center of that shift, providing the sandboxed environments, verified images, and secure infrastructure that make autonomous workflows trustworthy by default.

_______________________________________________________________________

As a Senior Technical Account Manager (TAM) at Docker, you will serve as a trusted advisor to our most strategic customers, ensuring they realize measurable value from their investment in Docker’s platform. TAMs are responsible for guiding adoption, managing technical relationships, and influencing customer outcomes across the post-sales lifecycle.

This role sits within Docker’s Customer Engineering Group, which unifies pre- and post-sales technical teams to deliver a seamless, outcomes-driven customer experience. You’ll collaborate closely with Solutions Engineers, Engagement Services, and Product teams to help customers accelerate time-to-value, reduce friction, and achieve long-term success with Docker.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Customer Success and Adoption

• Build strong relationships with assigned enterprise customers, understanding their technical landscape, priorities, and success criteria.
• Drive product adoption and operational maturity, aligning Docker capabilities to customer objectives and outcomes.
• Conduct regular technical and business reviews to demonstrate value realization and identify opportunities for growth.
• Anticipate risks and blockers, developing mitigation plans in partnership with customer and internal teams.

Technical Engagement and Collaboration

• Serve as the primary post-sales technical contact and advocate for assigned accounts, connecting customer feedback to Product, Engineering, and Support.
• Partner with Solutions Engineers to ensure smooth handoff from pre-sales to onboarding and sustained success thereafter.
• Create and share reusable best practices, reference architectures, and technical playbooks that scale customer success.
• Provide proactive guidance on containerization, CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, and emerging developer productivity trends.

Operational Excellence

• Maintain high-quality documentation of customer engagements, health status, and progress toward success metrics.
• Contribute to a consistent TAM engagement model, leveraging standardized processes for onboarding, health reviews, and renewals.
• Support development of scalable initiatives such as 1:many workshops and digital enablement programs.

QUALIFICATIONS

• 4+ years in a customer-facing technical role (e.g., TAM, Solutions Architect, DevOps Consultant, Customer Engineer).
• Strong understanding of Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, IaC, and cloud-native development practices.
• Proven ability to translate technical capabilities into business outcomes and drive measurable customer value.
• Excellent communication skills across both technical and executive audiences.
• Skilled at identifying patterns and building long-term strategies beyond point solutions.
• Comfortable working cross-functionally in a global, distributed organization.

Bonus Qualifications

• Experience with developer-first platforms or PLG (product-led growth) models.
• Familiarity with AI/ML infrastructure or agent-based development platforms.
• Prior experience in post-sales or lifecycle management at an infrastructure or SaaS company.

• Build relationships with internal partners including Support, Product, and Sales.
• Review existing customer documentation and success plans to identify initial opportunities for impact.

FIRST 90 DAYS

• Take ownership of a customer portfolio and begin leading account engagements. Conduct your first technical or executive business reviews with guidance from your manager.
• Establish a cadence of customer check-ins, documenting key success milestones and adoption progress.
• Identify at least one process or content improvement that can scale customer engagement or reduce friction.
• Contribute to cross-functional discussions that connect customer insights with product feedback.

ONE YEAR OUTLOOK

• Own the full lifecycle for a portfolio of strategic or enterprise customers, delivering measurable improvements in adoption and health scores.
• Build executive relationships and serve as the customer’s voice within Docker.
• Contribute to building the broader TAM engagement model through shared best practices and enablement resources.
