Docker has been one of the most loved brands in developer tooling, trusted by more than 20 million monthly users and over 20 billion container image pulls. From solo founders to the world's largest companies, developers rely on Docker to build, share, and run their applications across our suite of products including Docker Desktop, Docker Hub, and Docker Scout.
We are a globally distributed, remote-first team building the tools that define how software gets built and delivered. As AI agents redefine software development, Docker is at the center of that shift, providing the sandboxed environments, verified images, and secure infrastructure that make autonomous workflows trustworthy by default.

Docker is seeking a Staff Product Manager to own product strategy across the Infrastructure and AI Dev Tools organization: the foundation that hundreds of Docker engineers build on, and an increasingly important source of the AI-native capabilities we bring to customers. This is a rare role that sits at the seam between Docker's internal developer platform and the customer-facing products that grow out of it.
The Infrastructure team builds and operates the cloud-native platform behind products like Docker Hub, Gordon, and AI Governance: multi-tenant Kubernetes, multi-region networking, self-service provisioning, observability, and the paved roads that let teams ship safely without re-solving the same problems. The AI Dev Tools team builds the agents and tooling that are modernizing how software gets designed, built, shipped, and operated, both for Docker's own engineers and, increasingly, for the developers and enterprises who rely on Docker.
You will treat the platform as a product. That means driving clarity on prioritization, defining golden paths, measuring adoption rather than mandating it, and earning the trust of internal teams the same way a great product earns the trust of customers. It also means spotting which internal tools and platform capabilities are ready to become customer-facing offerings, and shaping that path from prototype to product. You will work closely with engineering leaders, principal and staff engineers, Security, and the product teams across Docker, as well as with customers as internal tools graduate into products.
Infrastructure and developer platform product management is a distinct craft, and this role is written for that specific kind of person. You think in platforms and golden paths: you build once so dozens of teams can move faster, and you design for adoption rather than mandate. You have strong opinions about what makes developer tooling great, invisible by default, indispensable once adopted, and measurable in the workflows engineers already use.
You bring enough technical depth to be a credible partner in architecture and trade-off discussions, comfortable talking through Kubernetes, CI/CD, networking, APIs, and observability with the engineers who own them. You are fluent in where AI and agentic workflows are heading, with a healthy sense of where automation earns its place and where it does not. You become a subject matter expert quickly, you influence without authority across a technical organization, and you balance a long-term platform vision against the near-term needs of the teams depending on you. Above all, you measure success by what the consuming teams feel: how fast they can build and ship, how much they can do on their own, and how reliably it all runs.
Docker embraces diversity and equal opportunity. We are committed to building a team that represents a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills. We believe the more inclusive we are, the better our company will be.

Docker is a fully remote company, so most work happens from home rather than an office. Openings are still region-anchored: current roles are based in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the wider EMEA region, so check the specific posting for its eligible country. Docker also keeps optional office hubs in Paris and Seattle for anyone who wants occasional in-person collaboration.
Remote-first is built into how Docker operates, not a temporary policy. Communication is Slack and Zoom first, schedules are flexible, and teams lean on async workflows to collaborate across time zones. To help people recharge rather than burn out, Docker gives quarterly company-wide "Whaleness Days," alongside virtual social events, team bonding, and a recurring "Lunch Roulette."
Health coverage is a highlight, with company-paid medical premiums plus dental, vision, life, and disability insurance, a 401(k), parental leave, and equity as RSUs. Time off is generous, including unlimited PTO, paid holidays, and company shutdown days. For remote work specifically, Docker provides a home-office setup budget, a monthly technology and internet stipend, and a learning and development allowance for training.
Docker does not publish standardized salary bands publicly, so the exact range for a role is confirmed with your recruiter during the process. Offers reflect the role, its level, and your location, and total compensation pairs base salary with equity as RSUs and the benefits package above.
Docker runs on five virtues: Developer Obsession, Humble Confidence, Bias for Considered Action, Open Collaboration, and Outcome Driven. The culture emphasizes autonomy, transparency, and real impact, so people who are self-directed, developer-empathetic, and comfortable owning outcomes in an async setting tend to do well. Docker also supports employee resource groups spanning Underrepresented Genders, DEIB, Mental Health, Caregivers, and Neurodivergent communities.
Docker emphasizes inclusive hiring and a well-supported onboarding, and new hires describe a smooth start with a dedicated onboarding team, a home-office budget from day one, and training allowances. One important safety note from Docker: the company only contacts applicants from official @docker.com email addresses. Messages from lookalike domains such as @dockercareers.com are fraudulent, so never share personal information with them.
