About this role
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.
As a Principal Product Designer, you distill complex developer workflows into insights that shape design, product, and engineering decisions. You have deep, informed opinions about how developers are changing what it means to build and ship software. You're AI-native in your process: using tooling to move faster, synthesize earlier, and prototype first.
You're passionate about technology and even more passionate about the people that use it. You tirelessly advocate for the developer and have deep empathy for the friction they hit every day. You put their needs first, and you have strong opinions, loosely held, about how to serve them better.
Docker is modernizing how millions of builders experience development. We're looking for a Principal Product Designer who is deeply passionate about bringing human-centered thinking to developer tooling and who is ready to help lead the redesign of our container platform from a place of genuine conviction about where the industry is heading.
The ideal candidate enjoys solving big problems with elegant solutions and has a strong track record of delivering extraordinary experiences for technical users. You work quickly, think in systems, and understand the difference between a workflow that technically works and one that developers actually trust and return to time and time again.
Your ideas directly influence Docker's product direction and growth. You have excellent communication skills and a real ability to bring cross-functional teams along with you, from individual engineers and PMs to senior leadership.
You play well with others. You thrive in a fast-paced, remote-first environment. You bring a distinct point of view, you elevate the designers around you, and you're just as open to feedback on your own work as you are generous with it for others.
