Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Software Engineer, Infrastructure - **Company:** Docker - **Location:** Seattle, WA, United States (Remote available) - **Experience:** Expert - **Salary:** $160,900.0 - $260,700.0 - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Artificial Intelligence, Cloud Computing, Continuous Integration, Software Debugging, Software Design Documents, Linux, Github, Octopus Deploy, Reliability Engineering, Cloud Services, Runbook, Software Engineering, Istio, Grafana, Core Api, Backend, Kubernetes, Terraform - **Published:** August 1, 2026 - **Apply:** https://www.dice.com/job-detail/695b1157-32bc-49b6-9a10-2afb926fbe84 ## About the Role * 6+ years of hands-on software engineering in backend, infrastructure, or platform engineering, though we weight real depth and impact more heavily than exact tenure. * Strong software engineering in Go or a similar language: design, testing, debugging, review, and long-term maintainability. * A track record of building, shipping, and operating cloud services or infrastructure in production. * Deep expertise in at least one of Kubernetes, networking, cloud platforms, reliability engineering, or developer platforms - plus solid Linux and production-ops fundamentals. * Experience shaping technical direction and working effectively across teams. * Clear written and verbal communication in a remote environment (RFCs, design docs, incident writeups). * Bachelor's in CS/Engineering or equivalent practical experience. Nice to have: EKS and ingress/CNI/service-mesh experience; observability with OpenTelemetry/PrometheGrafana; CI/CD and progressive delivery (GitHub Actions, Argo CD, canaries); driving migrations or adoption programs across teams. You don't need every item here. We value strong systems judgment, real depth in at least one area, and curiosity across the rest. ## Description This is a senior, deeply hands-on role. You'll own significant components, drive projects from design through production adoption, and shape the platform's technical direction while helping teammates grow. Concretely, you will: * Turn ambiguous infrastructure problems into clear designs and working systems - contributing to RFCs and architecture reviews, and driving your projects to done. * Build self-service capabilities and platform APIs (primarily in Go) for onboarding, provisioning, deployment, observability defaults, and day-2 operations - with contracts and docs teams actually use. * Apply and help shape delivery standards with Terraform, GitOps on Argo CD, progressive rollout, and strong testing - including the continuous-deployment flow we're missing today. * Strengthen the multi-tenant EKS foundations for reliability, security, scale, and cost: Envoy Gateway ingress, traffic routing, and multi-region, cross-account connectivity. * Improve SLOs, alerting, and incident follow-up on Grafana Cloud so production gets safer and less dependent on heroics. We measure this work by outcomes the consuming teams feel: how fast they can provision and ship, how much they can do without us, and how reliably it all runs. AI-assisted operations We're investing in AI-assisted and agentic workflows to cut operational toil, and we care that they stay safe, auditable, and human-reviewed. You'll help shape where they earn their place and where they don't. Early targets: * Alert enrichment and incident context-gathering: assembling the relevant signals, history, and runbook so the on-call engineer starts with context instead of a blank page. * Runbook-assisted diagnosis and remediation recommendations, with a human in the loop on anything that changes production. * Onboarding and readiness assistants that answer the questions our experts answer today. If you've built operational automation and have a healthy skepticism about where automation belongs, this is a place to put both to work. ## Related Videos - [Retooling and refactoring - an investment in people.](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/371-retooling-and-refactoring-an-investment-in-people) - [Innovating Developer Tools with AI: Insights from GitHub Next](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1268-innovating-developer-tools-with-ai-insights-from-github-next) - [Rate-limiting using eBPF and Istio: How to protect your SaaS customers from themselves](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100220-rate-limiting-using-ebpf-and-istio-how-to-protect-your-saas-customers-from-themselves) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [My journey into DevOps world - How it all started!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/545-my-journey-into-devops-world-how-it-all-started) - [Bringing AI Model Testing and Prompt Management to Your Codebase with GitHub Models](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1536-bringing-ai-model-testing-and-prompt-management-to-your-codebase-with-github-models) ## Related Articles - [Building AI Solutions with Rust and Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/494-building-ai-solutions-with-rust-and-docker) - [The Best Software Developer Blogs to Read](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/156-the-best-software-developer-blogs-to-read) - [Top Characteristics of a Software Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/166-top-characteristics-of-a-software-engineer) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated)
