Senior Software Engineer, Growth

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.

• Write production-grade code across Docker’s stack, including frontend (React/JavaScript), backend (Go/Python), and cloud services.

• Leverage A/B testing frameworks and in-app engagement tools to optimize personalized user journeys.

• Share experiment outcomes, insights, and next-step recommendations with stakeholders across product and business functions.

• This role may require participation in an on-call rotation to provide support outside of standard business hours, including evenings, weekends, and holidays, as needed

• 6+ years of software engineering experience, including exposure to growth engineering, experimentation systems, Data engineering , product-focused development.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience

• Strong proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript and React for building user-facing product experiences and go for backend services

• Hands-on experience implementing A/B tests and feature flags in production environments.

• Familiarity with analytics and experimentation tools such as Adobe Target, Unleash, or Looker.

• Comfortable working across the full stack — front end and backend

• Experience with Snowflake , redshift or similar data warehouse tooling for querying experiment results.

• Familiarity working on AI solutions and data pipelines

• Strong communicator and collaborator with a pragmatic and flexible approach to experimentation and iteration.

• Outcome-oriented and self-directed, with a passion for improving developer experience and product usability at scale.
