Responsibilities

• You own Docker Sandboxes, its long-term vision, roadmap, revenue, adoption, and results
• You believe in and can succinctly articulate our customers, their workflows, and their pain points. You empathize with the world they live in and the security, performance, compatibility, and cost constraints they work through
• You will engage deeply with developers building AI agents, coding environments, CI and testing systems, and other workloads that require secure, isolated execution, finding solutions for today while optimizing for tomorrow's vision
• You enjoy building infrastructure products that are easy to adopt and use. You will turn complex tradeoffs across isolation, startup time, performance, density, networking, storage, and cost into simple product experiences
• You are comfortable with ambiguity and will guide product definition, feature prioritization, and scope in concert with engineering, design, security, operations, and go-to-market teams
• You are a fan of iterative development, working with customers and cross-functional teams to hypothesize, measure adoption and impact, learn from releases, and continually improve the roadmap

Skills

• To thrive in this role, you will need experience working with developers, deep technical fluency in systems and developer infrastructure, and prior experience as a software engineer
• You will need to understand containers, sandboxes/microVMs, virtualization technologies, hypervisors, the software development lifecycle, and how untrusted or agent-generated code can be safely executed and orchestrated
• You will need a relentless drive to try new things and an eye for detail
• Your long-term success will depend on your ability to own the product roadmap, earn the trust of the developer community, and scale reliable services
• Most importantly, you will need to be comfortable taking ownership of big objectives with big goals, working with a cross-functional team, and maintaining a bias for action
• You have deep empathy for the needs of developers and are obsessed with talking to your users
• You have prior professional experience as a software engineer, ideally in systems, infrastructure, platform engineering, developer tools, or cloud
• You have strong technical familiarity with sandboxes/microVMs, containers, virtualization technologies, and hypervisors, including the isolation and security boundaries each provides
• You understand the building blocks of modern developer infrastructure, including Linux, container runtimes, orchestration, networking, storage, APIs, and cloud services
• You have experience designing, building, or operating systems that execute customer-provided, untrusted, or agent-generated code at scale
• You are comfortable interacting with a command-line interface and discussing APIs, SDKs, and technical architecture with engineers and developers
• You have experience building B2B or SaaS products, or a background in public cloud and developer infrastructure
• You understand software supply chain and software security concerns, including multi-tenant isolation, identity, secrets management, observability, and reliability
• You can break down complex technical problems into small, releasable, user-valuable features
• You can explain complex ideas simply and communicate effectively in writing, verbally, and visually across diverse stakeholders
• You can analyze qualitative and quantitative data to inform decisions, define success metrics, and prioritize investments
