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. _______________________________________________________________________ Docker is launching a Professional Services organization to accelerate customer success, reduce time-to-value, and drive enterprise adoption for agentic workloads. As a Principal Solution Architect, you will play a critical role in building and scaling this function. You will join a team of seasoned experts with deep experience backed by Docker's unmatched reach across Fortune 500 companies.
This is a high-visibility role working directly with senior leadership across revenue, product, marketing, and partner organizations. You will shape service strategy, drive cross-functional alignment, and deliver offerings that accelerate both services revenue and platform expansion. You will serve as a trusted advisor to our largest and most strategic partners and enterprise customers, providing thought leadership on integrating Docker agentic solutions within enterprise environments.
Responsibilities Build and Scale the Professional Services Practice Develop and codify repeatable reference architecture patterns across Docker's core use cases including self-hosted and air-gapped deployments, MCP (model context protocol)/AI agent environments, IDP integrations, and secure supply chain workflows so that engagements scale consistently across customers and partners. Collaborate with product, marketing, and revenue teams to integrate services into GTM motions and align delivery to Docker's AI platform roadmap.
