About the job
At Docker, our mission is to simplify app development, allowing developers to concentrate on what truly matters. Our globally distributed, remote-first team is united by a shared passion for innovative solutions and exceptional developer experiences. With a robust user base of over 20 million monthly users and 20 billion image pulls, Docker stands as the premier tool for building, sharing, and executing applications—trusted by both startups and Fortune 100 companies. We're in a phase of rapid growth and eager to welcome new talent who share our vision!
We are on the lookout for an accomplished Senior Principal Engineer to act as the technical architect and visionary for our Bridge organization—the essential platform that underpins accounts, billing, data management, developer tools, and enterprise governance across all Docker products. This pivotal individual contributor role is charged with defining and driving the technical strategy that will facilitate Docker's evolution from a suite of individual products to a cohesive enterprise platform, ready to support our next growth phase.
In this capacity, you will formulate comprehensive technical plans that resonate across multiple engineering teams, make critical architectural choices that have a significant impact on Docker's entire product suite, and lead cross-company initiatives that directly influence revenue generation. Collaborating at the intersection of Accounts, Billing, Data, Platform Infrastructure, Developer Tools, and Enterprise Governance, you will ensure that these foundational systems operate seamlessly to support Docker's transformative business model, transitioning from seat-based to usage-based pricing, expanding into AI and security solutions, and scaling our enterprise customer base from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.
The ideal candidate will possess a unique blend of deep technical expertise across various domains and the business insight necessary to translate Docker's commercial objectives into actionable platform capabilities. You will be recognized as the go-to expert on platform architecture across Docker, advising executives on critical technical decisions and ensuring that product teams can rapidly launch enterprise-ready features, supported by a robust underlying platform.
