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.
As a Senior Technical Account Manager (TAM) at Docker, you will serve as a trusted advisor to our most strategic customers, ensuring they realize measurable value from their investment in Docker’s platform. TAMs are responsible for guiding adoption, managing technical relationships, and influencing customer outcomes across the post-sales lifecycle.
This role sits within Docker’s Customer Engineering Group, which unifies pre- and post-sales technical teams to deliver a seamless, outcomes-driven customer experience. You’ll collaborate closely with Solutions Engineers, Engagement Services, and Product teams to help customers accelerate time-to-value, reduce friction, and achieve long-term success with Docker.
