Software Engineer, Billing

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 worlds 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.

Were in an inflection point. AI agent-driven development is no longer experimental here its how we work. Were setting the standard for what it looks like to apply AI-assisted software development to real business systems with real consequences: revenue compliance customer trust. If you want to be at the frontier of that practice not just consuming it but defining it this is the role.

The Billing Platform Engineering team owns the systems that make Dockers commercial model real. Youll work on problems like:

• How do we build subscription and usage-based billing flows that are accurate auditable and extensible

• How do we design APIs and service boundaries that remain coherent as billing models evolve

• How do we architect software systems that AI agents can implement correctly with specifications tight enough that the output is trustworthy

• How do we reduce friction in the checkout upgrade and payment experience for millions of Docker users

Youll collaborate with product managers designers finance and business operations. Billing touches more of the company than most teams do youll need to be comfortable working across those interfaces.

• Lead and contribute to features across the billing stack: subscription management payment processing entitlements invoicing and internal tooling

• Write review and maintain Go/Golang backends and TypeScript/React frontends including unit integration and e2e tests

• Architect and specify systems with enough precision that AI-assisted implementation produces correct reviewable output

• Work within a cross-functional team alongside product design and data engineering

• Own features through their full lifecycle: design implementation deployment and production operation

• Handle ad-hoc internal billing support requests across the company

• 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.

• 4 years building production SaaS applications

• Strong Go/Golang backend experience

• 2 years with TypeScript/React on the frontend

• Experience with payment and billing platforms Stripe strongly preferred

• Comfort with cloud infrastructure: AWS preferred Postgres Terraform Kubernetes GitHub Actions

• Demonstrated ability to write clear technical specifications and design documents this is as important as code

• Experience or genuine interest in billing payments subscriptions or financial systems

• Strong written English; we are async-first and writing is how decisions get made

• Security-aware engineering practices

• Bachelors degree in Computer Science Engineering or a related field or equivalent practical experience

You understand that in an AI-agent development workflow the leverage is upstream in planning specification and architectural thinking not in writing lines of code. You want to help define what high-quality AI-assisted development actually looks like on a team that ships business-critical systems.

You will ship code in your first week. We run an agent-first development workflow plans before code specifications before generation review before merge and onboarding is no exception. You will get hands-on with the Billing Platform codebase and service architecture early meet your counterparts across product finance and business operations and build a working picture of how billing payments and entitlements move through Dockers products. By the end of 30 days you will have shipped real work and have a clear sense of how the team operates.

You will be an active contributor to design discussions and code reviews bringing both engineering rigor and a billing domain lens to work in flight. You will have shipped your first meaningful feature through the full lifecycle design implementation deployment and production and have a working understanding of where the most important improvements should be made.

You will be a trusted contributor on a team that is setting the standard for AI-agent-driven development on real business systems. You will have driven meaningful improvements to billing accuracy payment reliability or developer experience and your work will be directly visible in the commercial systems that make Dockers growth possible. You will have a clear sense of what you own and where youre headed next.
