Job description
Docker is a remote first company with employees across Europe, APAC and the Americas that simplifies the lives of developers who are making world-changing apps. We raised our Series C funding in March 2022 for $105M at a $2.1B valuation. We continued to see exponential revenue growth last year. Join us for a whale of a ride!

What we do:

We are building Docker Scout, a new product announced in 2023 that is evolving fast. The Scout team is looking to solve the following problems:

What actionable insights can we give developers about their images and build processes?

How can we help organizations introduce policies that improve the security of their software supply chain?

How can developers build on expertise and pre-existing solutions within their organization?

How can developers keep their software dependencies up to date and secure?

What data can we put at developers' fingertips to supercharge their daily work?

Scout is centered around a large data plane with integrations into tooling across the software supply chain, e.g., container registries and source control systems.

Who we’re looking for:

We are seeking a backend Clojure engineer to join our team and contribute to building a robust and scalable data platform. The ideal candidate should have experience with databases, infrastructure and platform engineering and be proficient in Clojure.

We work in a multi-cloud environment, making use of the best parts of GCP and AWS. We use a variety of databases including Datomic, Postgres and DynamoDB. Much of the backend is asynchronous and queues are the center of our architecture. We use Kubernetes to run our services and serverless technology where appropriate.

Our services build automatically and are deployed into production with a click of a button. We believe in making small changes and deploying regularly. We are empowered and responsible for running our own code. We monitor our services closely to ensure that we are meeting our SLAs.

In return for your dedication and enthusiasm, we offer you the unique opportunity to build world-class tools to help millions of developers like you.

Qualifications:

3+ years experience in backend engineering.

Proficiency in Clojure, proven in real-world applications.

Comfortable following software engineering best practices such as code review, source control, continuous integration, and testing.

Comfortable with a high degree of autonomy (self-motivated, organized) and the ability to work remotely across time zones.
