Senior Software Engineer, Infrastructure
Docker · Seattle, WA
About this role
**About Docker** Docker is trusted by 20M+ monthly users and 20B+ container image pulls. As a globally distributed, remote-first team, Docker builds the tools that define how software is built and delivered—across Docker Desktop, Docker Hub, and Docker Scout. Docker is investing heavily in the platform underneath its new products. This role focuses on turning infrastructure work into “paved roads”: self-service systems with clear ownership, safe defaults, strong guardrails, and measurable adoption. **Role: Senior Software Engineer, Infrastructure** This is a senior, deeply hands-on role. You’ll own significant parts of the platform end to end, drive projects from design through production adoption, and help shape the team’s technical direction. **Responsibilities** - Turn ambiguous infrastructure problems into clear designs and working systems. - Contribute to RFCs and architecture reviews; drive projects to done. - Build self-service capabilities and platform APIs (primarily in Go) for onboarding, provisioning, deployment, observability defaults, and day-2 operations—backed by contracts and docs teams actually use. - Apply and help shape delivery standards using Terraform, GitOps on Argo CD, progressive rollout, and strong testing—plus the continuous-deployment flow the team is missing today. - Strengthen multi-tenant EKS foundations for reliability, security, scale, and cost (e.g., Envoy Gateway ingress, traffic routing, multi-region, cross-account connectivity). - Improve SLOs, alerting, and incident follow-up on Grafana Cloud to reduce production risk and heroics. **How success is measured** Outcomes the consuming teams feel: faster provisioning and shipping, more capability without Docker’s direct involvement, and reliable operations. **AI-Assisted Operations** Docker is investing in AI-assisted and agentic workflows to reduce operational toil while keeping them safe, auditable, and human-reviewed. - Alert enrichment and incident context-gathering (signals, history, runbooks). - Runbook-assisted diagnosis and remediation recommendations (human in the loop for production changes). - Onboarding and readiness assistants that answer the questions experts answer today. **On-Call** Operational ownership is part of the job. You’ll join the rotation after onboarding and shadowing, helping improve on-call quality: better alerts, stronger runbooks, less toil, and blameless postmortems focused on prevention. **Qualifications** - 6+ years of hands-on software engineering in backend, infrastructure, or platform engineering (real depth and impact matter most). - Strong software engineering in Go (or similar): design, testing, debugging, review, and long-term maintainability. - Track record building, shipping, and operating cloud services or infrastructure in production. - Deep expertise in at least one of: Kubernetes, networking, cloud platforms, reliability engineering, or developer platforms—plus solid Linux and production-ops fundamentals. - Experience shaping technical direction and collaborating effectively across teams. - Clear written and verbal communication in a remote environment (RFCs, design docs, incident writeups). - Bachelor’s in CS/Engineering or equivalent practical experience. **Nice to have** - EKS and ingress/CNI/service-mesh experience. - Observability with OpenTelemetry/Prometheus/Grafana. - CI/CD and progressive delivery (GitHub Actions, Argo CD, canaries). - Driving migrations or adoption programs across teams. *
