Education: Bachelor's degree or related field
Experience: 6+ years
Docker’s AI Tools & Security team is building the foundation for the next generation of secure, developer-friendly AI infrastructure. Our flagship product, the MCP Gateway, empowers developers to connect, observe, and secure AI agents and tools across the entire lifecycle—from prototype to production. We’re defining how developers safely harness the power of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) in real-world environments.
We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer who thrives at the intersection of AI, security, and developer experience. You’ll lead the technical direction of the Gateway and related services, collaborating closely with Product, Design, and Security to deliver elegant frameworks and APIs that developers love to use. This is a high-velocity, high-ownership environment: you’ll ship fast, iterate constantly, and help shape the future of secure agent-based development.
- 6+ years of backend engineering experience with production-grade systems
- A strong product mindset—you're excited about building developer-facing tools
- Strong grasp of software engineering best practices (code review, source control, CI/CD, testing)
- Proficiency in modern programming languages (we primarily use Go)
- Ownership mentality with a bias for shipping, learning, and iterating
- Comfortable working with autonomy across distributed, remote teams.
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
- Experience with Kubernetes, Docker, and microservices architecture
- Prior experience with OpenAI, Anthropic, or similar LLM APIs, and the MCP specification
- Contribute to defining the technical approach for new product initiatives
- Collaborate closely with Product and Design to shape features and user experience
- Support and guide teammates through code reviews and technical discussions
- Serve as a reliable technical voice within the team and help ensure strong engineering standards
- 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.
- Provide feedback on current exploration and propose next steps in line with Product and Design
