At Docker, we make app development easier so developers can focus on what matters. Our remote-first team spans the globe, united by a passion for innovation and great developer experiences. With over 20 million monthly users and 20 billion image pulls, Docker is the #1 tool for building, sharing, and running apps—trusted by startups and Fortune 100s alike. We’re growing fast and just getting started. Come join us for a whale of a ride! This is a remote position open to candidates based in London, UK or Paris, France.. If you’re located in or near Paris, France, we also have an office space available should you prefer to work on-site. We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer (Docker Agents) to join Docker's AI engineering team to build the future of containerized AI agents. Docker containers are the perfect vehicle to host and run AI agents—providing isolation, portability, and reproducibility. You'll be working on cagent, our open-source project (https://github.com/docker/cagent), and expanding on it to enable developers to build, deploy, and scale intelligent agents using Docker's container technology. This is a greenfield opportunity to shape how developers leverage containers for AI agents at massive scale. You'll work alongside a team of seasoned engineers, collaborating with our sister teams working on Ask Gordon and Docker's broader AI platform. This is a unique opportunity to combine cutting-edge AI techniques with container technology to solve real-world developer problems.
Job Responsibility:
Build Containerized Agent Systems: Design and implement systems that leverage Docker containers as the ideal runtime for AI agents, ensuring isolation, scalability, and portability
Expand cagent: Maintain and evolve the open-source cagent project, adding new capabilities for containerized agent deployment and orchestration
Agent Runtime Development: Build robust infrastructure for packaging, deploying, and managing agents in containers
RAG Integration: Enhance agent capabilities with Retrieval-Augmented Generation systems to provide contextual knowledge and domain expertise (secondary focus)
Evaluation & Testing: Design robust evaluation frameworks to measure agent performance, reliability, and containerized deployment effectiveness
Rapid Prototyping: Iterate quickly on new agent capabilities and deployment patterns, moving from concept to production efficiently
Open Source Community: Engage with the cagent community, review contributions, and help grow the ecosystem
Cross-functional Collaboration: Work closely with product managers, designers, and engineers across Docker's AI teams to integrate containerized agent capabilities into Docker's developer experience
Requirements:
Strong proficiency in Go (this is absolutely required)
Practical experience with large language models (LLMs) and agent development
Proven ability to design scalable, distributed systems
Deep understanding of Docker, containerization best practices, and container orchestration
Experience building Retrieval-Augmented Generation systems (secondary focus)
Demonstrated ability to prototype quickly and iterate based on feedback
Experience with CrewAI, AGNO, ADK, LangChain/LangGraph or similar AI orchestration frameworks (preferred)
Experience with Python for AI prototyping and tooling (preferred)
Experience with Kubernetes or container orchestration platforms (preferred)
Open source contributions and community engagement (preferred)
Experience with agent evaluation, reliability, and observability techniques (preferred)
6+ years of directly applicable experience
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
Nice to have:
Experience with CrewAI, AGNO, ADK, LangChain/LangGraph or similar AI orchestration frameworks
Experience with Python for AI prototyping and tooling
Experience with Kubernetes or container orchestration platforms
Open source contributions and community engagement
Experience with agent evaluation, reliability, and observability techniques
