About this role

Docker is hiring for a Staff Software Engineer, AI Gateway role (full-time). See the official posting for full details.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of backend engineering experience, with a track record of owning production-grade systems at significant scale
  • Deep specialization in distributed systems, cloud-native infrastructure, and API design - recognized by peers and cross-functional partners as a go-to expert, not just experienced
  • Experience building secure, high-throughput services (gateways, proxies, load balancers, policy engines), and a history of making judgment calls other engineers rely on
  • Fluency in Go and/or Rust
  • A track record of identifying systemic gaps - in architecture, process, or tooling-— and driving the fix across team boundaries, not just within your own
  • A strong product mindset, with real experience shaping technical direction rather than only executing against it
  • Comfortable operating with wide latitude: given a problem and significant autonomy in how to solve it, including when and who to pull in
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
