About the role

Senior, hands-on infrastructure engineer responsible for building self-service platform components, multi-region connectivity, and production-ready automation to enable rapid provisioning and safe operations across Docker’s internal platform.

Responsibilities

  • Turn ambiguous infrastructure problems into clear designs and working systems — contributing to RFCs and architecture reviews, and driving your projects to done.
  • Build self-service capabilities and platform APIs (primarily in Go) for onboarding, provisioning, deployment, observability defaults, and day-2 operations — with contracts and docs teams actually use.
  • Apply and help shape delivery standards with Terraform, GitOps on Argo CD, progressive rollout, and strong testing — including the continuous-deployment flow we’re missing today.
  • Strengthen the multi-tenant EKS foundations for reliability, security, scale, and cost: Envoy Gateway ingress, traffic routing, and multi-region, cross-account connectivity.
  • Improve SLOs, alerting, and incident follow-up on Grafana Cloud so production gets safer and less dependent on heroics.

Qualifications

  • 6+ years of hands-on software engineering in backend, infrastructure, or platform engineering, though we weight real depth and impact more heavily than exact tenure.
  • Strong software engineering in Go or a similar language: design, testing, debugging, review, and long-term maintainability.
  • A track record of 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 working 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.
