Software Engineer, Billing

Responsibilities

• Lead and contribute to features across the billing stack: subscription management, payment processing, entitlements, invoicing, and internal tooling
• Write, review, and maintain Go/Golang backends and TypeScript/React frontends — including unit, integration, and e2e tests
• Architect and specify systems with enough precision that AI-assisted implementation produces correct, reviewable output
• Work within a cross-functional team alongside product, design, and data engineering
• Own features through their full lifecycle: design, implementation, deployment, and production operation
• Handle ad-hoc internal billing support requests across the company
• This role may require participation in an on-call rotation to provide support outside of standard business hours, including evenings, weekends, and holidays, as needed.

Qualifications

• 4+ years building production SaaS applications
• Strong Go/Golang backend experience
• 2+ years with TypeScript/React on the frontend
• Experience with payment and billing platforms — Stripe strongly preferred
• Comfort with cloud infrastructure: AWS preferred, Postgres, Terraform, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions
• Demonstrated ability to write clear technical specifications and design documents — this is as important as code
• Experience or genuine interest in billing, payments, subscriptions, or financial systems
• Strong written English; we are async-first and writing is how decisions get made
• Security-aware engineering practices
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience

What sets you apartYou understand that in an AI-agent development workflow, the leverage is upstream — in planning, specification, and architectural thinking — not in writing lines of code. You want to help define what high-quality AI-assisted development actually looks like on a team that ships business-critical systems.

What to ExpectFirst 30 Days You will ship code in your first week. We run an agent-first development workflow — plans before code, specifications before generation, review before merge — and onboarding is no exception. You will get hands-on with the Billing Platform codebase and service architecture early, meet your counterparts across product, finance, and business operations, and build a working picture of how billing, payments, and entitlements move through Docker's products. By the end of 30 days you will have shipped real work and have a clear sense of how the team operates.

First 90 Days You will be an active contributor to design discussions and code reviews, bringing both engineering rigor and a billing domain lens to work in flight. You will have shipped your first meaningful feature through the full lifecycle — design, implementation, deployment, and production — and have a working understanding of where the most important improvements should be made.

One Year Outlook You will be a trusted contributor on a team that is setting the standard for AI-agent-driven development on real business systems. You will have driven meaningful improvements to billing accuracy, payment reliability, or developer experience — and your work will be directly visible in the commercial systems that make Docker's growth possible. You will have a clear sense of what you own and where you're headed next.
