Senior Software Engineer, Growth

About the Role

Day-to-day, you will be working on building and shipping behavior-based user experiences that drive onboarding, activation, checkout flows, and retention across Docker's product suite. You will design and implement end-to-end growth experiments, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and write production-grade code across Docker's stack. Your goal will be to deliver measurable business outcomes, such as increased activation, retention, and expansion, by writing high-quality code, instrumenting the right signals, and turning data into product improvements that millions of developers will feel.

Docker's growth team is at the forefront of the company's efforts to redefine software development, and this role is a chance to be part of a team that is pushing the boundaries of what is possible. With a strong focus on remote work, flexibility, and freedom, Docker offers a unique work environment that allows engineers to thrive.
