Full Job Description

📋 Description

• Staff Supply Chain Security Engineer role focused on Docker Hardened Images, shaping technical direction for security-hardened container images and Helm charts used by millions of developers and enterprises.
• Day-to-day work involves authoring and maintaining YAML-based image definitions, adapting upstream Helm charts for security constraints, driving security hardening strategy (CVE triage, SBOM, Sigstore, SLSA), designing Go-based integration test infrastructure, and influencing catalogue-wide conventions through review and mentorship.
• Docker is a globally distributed, remote-first company trusted by over 20 million monthly users and powering 20+ billion container image pulls, building tools that define modern software delivery in the AI era.
• Opportunity to lead technical strategy at the intersection of supply chain security, containers, and Kubernetes, influence without authority, mentor peers, and solve ambiguous, high-impact packaging problems across dozens of images and charts.

🎯 Requirements

• 8+ years of backend engineering experience with production-grade systems
• Deep expertise in container and Kubernetes ecosystem, including fluency with projects like cert-manager, kyverno, grafana, istio, and upstream Helm chart source
• Mastery of YAML as a working medium — designing conventions others follow, not just authoring within existing ones
• Strong container security background: non-root users, UID/GID, image layers, multi-arch, SBOM, Sigstore, SLSA, and supply chain concepts
• Go ability sufficient to design and review integration test infrastructure for Kubernetes validation
• Track record of technical influence without authority via mentorship, design docs, reviews, and convention-setting

🏖️ Benefits

• Freedom & flexibility; fit your work around your life
• Designated quarterly Whaleness Days plus end of year Whaleness break
• Home office setup support
• 16 weeks of paid parental leave (after 6 months of employment)
• Technology stipend equivalent to $100 USD net/month
• Training stipend for conferences, courses, and classes
• Equity in a growing startup
• Medical benefits, retirement, and holidays (varies by country)
• Remote-first culture with offices in Seattle and Paris
