Job description

Billing Platform Engineering – Senior Software Engineer

The Billing Platform Engineering team owns the systems that make Docker's commercial model real.

What You’ll Work On

• Build subscription and usage‑based billing flows that are accurate, auditable, and extensible.
• Design APIs and service boundaries that remain coherent as billing models evolve.
• Architect software systems that AI agents can implement correctly – with specifications tight enough that the output is trustworthy.
• Reduce friction in the checkout, upgrade, and payment experience for millions of Docker users.

Responsibilities

• Lead and contribute to features across the billing stack: subscription management, payment processing, entitlements, invoicing, and internal tooling.
• Write, review, and maintain Go/Golang backends and TypeScript/React frontends – including unit, integration, and e2e tests.
• Architect and specify systems with enough precision that AI‑assisted implementation produces correct, reviewable output.
• Work within a cross‑functional team alongside product, design, and data engineering.
• Own features through their full lifecycle: design, implementation, deployment, and production operation.
• Handle ad‑hoc internal billing support requests across the company.

Qualifications

• 4+ years building production SaaS applications.
• Strong Go/Golang backend experience.
• 2+ years with TypeScript/React on the frontend.
• Experience with payment and billing platforms – Stripe strongly preferred.
• Comfort with cloud infrastructure: AWS preferred, Postgres, Terraform, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions.
• Demonstrated ability to write clear technical specifications and design documents – this is as important as code.
• Experience or genuine interest in billing, payments, subscriptions, or financial systems.
• Strong written English; we are async‑first and writing is how decisions are made.
• Security‑aware engineering practices.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

What Sets You Apart

You understand that in an AI‑agent development workflow, the leverage is upstream – in planning, specification, and architectural thinking – not in writing lines of code. You want to help define what high‑quality AI‑assisted development actually looks like on a team that ships business‑critical systems.

What To Expect

First 30 Days

You will ship code in your first week. We run an agent‑first development workflow – plans before code, specifications before generation, review before merge – and onboarding is no exception. You will get hands‑on with the Billing Platform codebase and service architecture early, meet your counterparts across product, finance, and business operations, and build a working picture of how billing, payments, and entitlements move through Docker’s products. By the end of 30 days you will have shipped real work and have a clear sense of how the team operates.

First 90 Days

You will be an active contributor to design discussions and code reviews, bringing both engineering rigor and a billing domain lens to work in flight. You will have shipped your first meaningful feature through the full lifecycle – design, implementation, deployment, and production – and have a working understanding of where the most important improvements should be made.

One Year Outlook

You will be a trusted contributor on a team that is setting the standard for AI‑agent‑driven development on real business systems. You will have driven meaningful improvements to billing accuracy, payment reliability, or developer experience – and your work will be directly visible in the commercial systems that make Docker’s growth possible. You will have a clear sense of what you own and where you’re headed next.

Senior Backend Engineer – Supply Chain Security

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.

Responsibilities

• 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.
• Take part in on‑call rotation for your team; respond to incidents, debug production issues, and drive continuous improvement of system reliability.

Qualifications

• 6+ 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.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Bonus points: hands‑on experience in infrastructure security, policy enforcement, or compliance frameworks (e.g., SLSA, SOC 2, FedRAMP).

What To Expect

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.

Benefits

• Freedom & flexibility; fit your work around your life.
• Designated quarterly Whaleness Days plus end of year Whaleness break.
• Home office setup; we want you comfortable while you work.
• 16 weeks of paid parental leave.
• Technology stipend equivalent to $100 net/month.
• PTO plan that encourages you to take time to do the things you enjoy.
• Training stipend for conferences, courses and classes.
• Equity; we are a growing start‑up and want all employees to have a share in the success of the company.
• Docker Swag.
• Medical benefits, retirement and holidays vary by country.
• Remote‑first culture, with offices in Seattle and Paris.

Equal Opportunity Statement

Docker embraces diversity and equal opportunity. We are committed to building a team that represents a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills. The more inclusive we are, the better our company will be.
