Run AI agents and containers safely, anywhere. Docker gives builders trusted sandboxes, governance, and a secure supply chain for modern software. Backed by Greylock, Insight and Lightspeed.
About the role
Design and implement core systems powering the AI Gateway, including the model router, MCP gateway, and control plane Build infrastructure that supports dynamic model selection/routing, auto-failover, cost-based routing, and policy enforcement Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 6+ years of backend engineering experience with production-grade systems
- Deep knowledge of distributed and highly scalable systems, cloud-native infrastructure, and API design
- Experience building secure, high-throughput services (e.g., gateways, proxies, load balancers, policy engines)
- Fluency in Go, and/or Rust (both preferred)
- Familiarity with AI/ML platforms or model serving infrastructure
- A strong product mindset—you're excited about building developer-facing tools
More about this role
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.
_______________________________________________________________________
Docker AI Gateway is our answer to the complexity of taking AI agents from prototype to production. It’s a powerful, intelligent, and secure control point that eliminates the toil of model orchestration, tool management, observability, and governance—so developers can focus on building incredible AI agents, not gluing together infrastructure.
