About Docker
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.

The Role
As AI agents redefine software development, Docker is at the center of that shift, providing the local and cloud sandboxed environments that make interactive and autonomous agentic workflows trustworthy by default. At the heart of our trust model is the fact that user credentials and other sensitive secrets are injected at the sandbox layer and never exposed to an agent. An agent can never leak secrets it never sees. The Secrets team builds the software that makes that possible, from easy-to-use SDKs to secure cloud services. We operate at the intersection of the developer experience, enterprise governance, and security—delivering core security features that make Docker sandboxes the best way to run agents and other workloads safely. In this role, you would manage this team, owning its technical direction and delivery and being accountable for its operational excellence.
The successful candidate is a hands-on engineer at heart. They have built secure software and scale-out cloud services, and they use that experience to guide their team to sound architectural decisions and a high security bar. They think naturally about isolation and trust boundaries and understand the tradeoffs of running untrusted or semi-trusted workloads. They are skilled at growing and retaining senior individual contributors and thrive in a remote-first environment. They stay close to customers, because the gap between a strong security model and something people actually adopt is where the real work happens.
