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 Corporate Security Engineer, you will be the primary technical owner of Docker's identity infrastructure, endpoint security, SaaS governance, and device compliance programs. You will work closely with the IT Operations, and GRC teams to design and implement the controls that keep Docker secure.

This role offers the opportunity to build and mature security programs at a company whose products are trusted by millions of developers worldwide. You'll work in a technically challenging environment where your security expertise directly impacts both Docker's platform and the broader container ecosystem.

Responsibilities:

• Own and continuously improve Docker's Identity and Access Management infrastructure, including SSO, MFA enforcement, lifecycle management, and access governance

• Discover, map inventory and conduct security reviews on third-party integrations and drive security improvements across our SaaS application ecosystem

• Secure and harden our core collaboration as well as documentation platforms, including email, document sharing, and communication tools

• Define and enforce device compliance policies across our corporate device fleet; own the end-to-end compliant device experience

• Mature a Zero Trust security model across corporate infrastructure, enforcing conditional access based on identity

• Establish and maintain an approved application governance program across desktop, browser, developer tooling, and third-party AI services, with appropriate monitoring and risk-based controls

• Contribute to the team's incident response capability, bringing corporate IT and identity expertise to investigations and remediation efforts

• Design and deploy canaries across our endpoint fleet, for increased visibility and early-warning capabilities

• Participate in the Security team on-call rotation by managing detection and response to security events

• Own and continuously improve employee lifecycle security processes, ensuring robust controls at both onboarding and offboarding

• Maintain IT security evidence and documentation supporting compliance with SOC2 and ISO ISO 27xxx

• Take part in on-call rotation for your team; respond to incidents, debug production issues, and drive continuous improvement of system reliability

Qualifications

• 6+ years in IT systems engineering with emphasis on automation, and hands-on experience in identity access management, and security best practices

• Deep hands-on expertise with Enterprise IdP (SSO, MFA, lifecycle management, groups, API automation)

• Strong experience securing Google Workspace at an admin level

• Experience with MDM solutions and endpoint hardening

• Solid understanding of OAuth, SAML, OIDC, and modern identity and access patterns

• Experience governing SaaS applications at scale: inventory, risk assessment, integration audits

• Scripting or automation skills (Golang, Python, Bash, Terraform, or similar) for API integration work

• Ability to write and own technical design documents and risk assessments

• Strong cross-functional communication - able to work effectively with GRC, IT, legal, and non-technical stakeholders

• Experience with compliance frameworks such as SOC2 or ISO 27xxx

Bonus:

• Experience with Zero-Trust Network Access solutions (ZTNA) and Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) tooling

• Familiarity with canary/deception-based detection techniques

• Experience implementing Just-in-Time (JIT) access patterns and identity-as-code practices
