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.
ABOUT THE TEAM AND ROLE
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.
WHAT WOULD MAKE SOMEONE SUCCESSFUL IN THIS ROLE
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
