Full Job Description
Responsibilities:
  • Hire, develop, and retain the best product team of your entire career
  • Deliver results for our customer and our business working across teams to deliver ongoing successful product market fit
  • Facilitate alignment on a compelling product vision and strategy with customers and market opportunities top of mind
  • Set clear multi-team priorities and shape focus for the team to the benefit of our customer and our financial results
  • Drive team metrics that help determine if we are making real progress well ahead of "grow ARR"
  • Foster rapid learning cycles on the team (and foster an aversion for "build it and they will come")
  • Help products have a healthy ecosystem in which to thrive (developers, partners, customers, and online communities)
  • Bonus: serve as product spokesperson with customers, partners, press, analysts, and events


Qualifications
  • You have a favorite CLI, thoughts on how Docker could approve, and an opinion about pros and cons for various SDLC approaches
  • Evidence of many years of hands on product management across multiple product stages hopefully including some wisdom from prior efforts adding #2 to n products or SKUs
  • Foster a mindset of 10x rather than 10% thinking
  • Enjoy engagement with customers and users and iterating on ways to validate we are building what they need (not just what they say) before engineering work is complete
  • Operate from a presence over pretense mindset - humbly confident is a Docker virtue and you know from your experiences that influence matters more than authority (egos need not apply - you know who you are)
  • Comfortable in a remote 1st company across ~8 timezones - really this means you are great at writing or other methods of reinforcing information sharing without literally being "at the front of the room"
  • Possess a growth mindset and demonstrate where you have learned new customers, markets and business models quickly - bonus only: you already have experience in dev tools, SaaS, cloud service and/or open source freemium models
  • Love for and success in a fast-growth scale up environment characterized by controlled chaos (sometimes described as: lack of resources, imperfect information, quickly-changing user markets and competitive landscape, and limited structure and guidance)
  • Bonus only: experience engaging with and enabling large developer communities
  • Prior experience as a coding engineer or evidence of successfully serving this user


What to Expect
In the first week, expect to:
  • Observe - get to know our: customers, product, team, and ways of working (we use OKRs)
  • Tell us where we got the expectations wrong below as you work to build a world class team and business


In the first month, expect to:
  • Continue learning (we love a growth mindset here and believe in progress over perfection)
  • Orient to the team's talents, current product direction, and the resulting metrics
  • Compile early observations about where we should investigate making adjustments to maximize return on invested engineering effort


In the first three months, expect to:
  • Set goals (OKRs) with the team
  • Hiring a world class talent and making any needed adjustments to our hiring process in a collaborative way
  • Adjusting goals and roadmaps to help provide a better return on invested engineering effort


In the first year, expect to:
  • Have made system wide impact on Docker's product while changing the lives of millions of developers

About Docker

Docker is a software company that provides an open platform for developers and sysadmins to build, ship, and run distributed applications. The company was founded in 2013 and is headquartered in San Francisco, California. Docker's platform allows developers to package their applications and dependencies into a single container, which can then be easily deployed to any environment. This makes it easier for developers to build and deploy applications, and helps to reduce the time and cost associated with managing complex application environments. Docker has a global presence, with operations in North America, Europe, and Asia.
