Golang Job: Senior Backend Software Engineer (Billing)

Docker is a remote first company with employees across Europe and the Americas that simplifies the loves 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 saw a 4x year-over-year ARR growth last year and continue to grow! Join us for a whale of a ride!

The Billing team ensures painless purchasing, reliable billing, proper user entitling, and robust payment reporting within Docker's products.

As a Backend Engineer, you will propose, prototype, and eventually publish tools and features to solve problems, such as:

• How can we build a robust billing backend that will enhance the payment process?

• How can we enhance and streamline the ability to report on revenue and key results?

• What can we do to streamline operations and support internal business operations?

• You will collaborate with product managers and engineers to design user journeys and API specifications, using tools like Slack, Zoom, Miro, and Notion. You will also work across departments on this team, interfacing with Data, Finance, Marketing, and Support more than our average team. You will be constantly seeking ways to improve development practices to ensure we maintain a high level of quality with a fast pace of delivery. You will help foster an uplifting environment with collaboration and innovation. Finally, you should be passionate about how developers' lives could be made easier, and about Docker's role in that.

Your first year:

• Within your first year you’ll have made significant contributions to team velocity through your work as an individual contributor, but also by creating impact through the skill and wisdom you impart on the team through mentorship, insight, and off-the-Jira-board contributions (architecture & design, process improvements, etc.)

• You’ll have established strong relationships with our stakeholders in Business Operations, Accounting, Finance, and Support, comfortable handling ad-hoc requests and discussing your team’s involvement.
