About Docker

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.

The Role

The Products Team at Docker is looking for a Director of Product Management to lead our core Sandbox platform. You will own the vision, strategy, roadmap and execution for Docker’s sandboxes, taking this area from high-level concept design to delivery and adoption. You will manage a team of 2-3 product managers, coaching them and setting the bar for how we build. You will help shape the future of a key area of Docker, partnering with Engineering, Design, Security, and Go-to-Market leaders, and working closely with developers inside and outside of Docker, our customers, and our partners to expand our open ecosystem offering and provide value. As the company and ecosystem grow, you will build a team and a culture eager to continuously build, measure, and learn.

To thrive in this role, you’ll need a track record of leading product teams, along with deep experience working with developers and technical knowledge of developer tools. You’ll need to know how to work with the developer community and understand the lifecycle of software development, the software supply chain, and how AI agents are safely orchestrated and deployed with sandboxes. You’ll need a relentless drive to try new things, and an eye for detail. Your long-term success will depend on your ability to set and own the product strategy and roadmap, develop great product managers, collaborate with the developer community, and scale our services. Most importantly, you’ll need to be okay with taking ownership of big objectives with big goals, leading through cross-functional teams, and maintaining a bias for action.
