Golang Job Details

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.

Responsibilities:

  • Work within a cross-functional delivery team of 5+ software engineers, with an embedded product manager and designer

  • Deploy code to production, and own the product throughout the lifecycle

  • Demonstrate cross-team collaboration and own the team’s engineering needs

  • Respond to internal billing support requests from throughout the company

  • Participate in paid 12-hour daytime on-call shifts for one week every 2-6 months

Qualifications:

  • Experience and interest in user checkout experiences, payment processing, invoicing, recurring subscriptions, and/or business operations

  • Experience with payment and billing platforms (Stripe preferred)

  • Knowledge of security best practices

  • 3+ years experience building SaaS applications

  • 3+ years with a C-based backend language, preferably Golang

  • Experience with

    • Python in a data processing context

    • Data ingestion (ETL) and data pipelines

    • SQL (Postgres preferred)

    • Snowflake (nice-to-have)

    • Cloud platforms (AWS preferred, or GCP, Azure)

    • IaC (Terraform preferred)

    • Containers (Docker, Kubernetes)

    • CI/CD systems (Jenkins, GitHub Actions)

  • Strong verbal and written English skills

  • Willingness and ability to work with a dedicated UX designer and product manager

  • Desire to work on autonomous teams

  • Ability and interest in working at a fully remote company crossing international time zones

  • Past demonstrations of proactively working outside of this job description

Your first 30 days:

  • Being a fully remote workplace, Docker has a focus on keeping teams connected. To that end, your first two weeks will include a calendar with many 1:1 sessions intended to introduce you to your team and others with whom you will interact frequently.

  • Expect to spend time on other onboarding activities like IT setup, navigating productivity tools, and getting familiar with your regular calendar cadence.

  • You’ll have become familiar with Docker Hub systems and infrastructure with a focus on backend services, frontend components, and external integrations owned by the Billing team.

  • You will be gaining comfort completing Jira tickets and pull requests (as both committer and reviewer) on Github and deploying to production using Jenkins as our CI/CD system.

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.

  • In collaboration with your manager, you will have a Career Development Plan that will outline your trajectory beyond your first year.

Perks:

  • Freedom & flexibility; fit your work around your life

  • Variety of virtual and in-person social events to build connections and have fun
