Docker seeks a Field CTO to serve as the senior technical voice across its global sales and customer organization. This is a thought leadership and influence role—not an operational engineering position—combining executive-level communication, broad architectural depth, and commercial acumen to drive business outcomes through technology.
You will act as a trusted advisor to strategic customers and CxOs, helping them align Docker's platform capabilities to modernization, AI, and software supply chain initiatives. You'll partner closely with Sales, Solutions Engineering, Product, and Marketing to influence both customer strategy and Docker's technical direction in the market.
Key responsibilities include serving as Docker's senior customer-facing technology advocate; advising CxOs on developer productivity, secure software supply chains, and AI-driven development; partnering with Sales leadership to accelerate large, complex opportunities; representing Docker at industry events and executive briefings; collaborating with Product and Engineering on strategic customer feedback; building trusted relationships across key accounts; mentoring Solutions Engineers and Technical Account Managers; developing reusable strategic narratives and technical blueprints; and partnering with Marketing on external messaging and thought leadership.
Required qualifications: 15+ years in enterprise technology with significant customer-facing or internal leadership experience (Field CTO, Principal Architect, Distinguished Engineer, or similar); proven success engaging executive stakeholders; deep understanding of modern application architectures, containers, and developer platforms; expertise in software supply chain security, developer productivity, and AI/ML infrastructure; exceptional communication and presentation skills; and strong commercial orientation.
Preferred: experience with Docker, Kubernetes, or container-native platforms; familiarity with large-scale CI/CD, cloud-native architectures, and multi-cloud deployments; experience with Generative AI/Agentic tooling platforms; pre-sales, solutions architecture, or technical evangelism background; thought leadership through conferences, blogs, or open-source; and a degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.
Docker is a globally distributed, remote-first team building tools that define how software gets built and delivered. The company is trusted by 20+ million monthly users and processes 20+ billion container image pulls. As AI agents redefine software development, Docker provides the sandboxed environments, verified images, and secure infrastructure that make autonomous workflows trustworthy by default.
