Principal Product Manager, Sandboxes

Docker is a globally distributed company building developer tools and infrastructure for building, sharing, and running applications. The Principal Product Manager will lead Docker Sandboxes from vision and roadmap through delivery, adoption, and operation, creating secure, isolated environments for developers and AI agents. The role involves collaborating with engineering, design, security, operations, customers, and partners to expand the product ecosystem and scale reliable services.

Responsibilities:

• You own Docker Sandboxes, its long-term vision, roadmap, revenue, adoption, and results
• You believe in and can succinctly articulate our customers, their workflows, and their pain points. You empathize with the world they live in and the security, performance, compatibility, and cost constraints they work through
• You will engage deeply with developers building AI agents, coding environments, CI and testing systems, and other workloads that require secure, isolated execution, finding solutions for today while optimizing for tomorrow's vision
• You enjoy building infrastructure products that are easy to adopt and use. You will turn complex tradeoffs across isolation, startup time, performance, density, networking, storage, and cost into simple product experiences
• You are comfortable with ambiguity and will guide product definition, feature prioritization, and scope in concert with engineering, design, security, operations, and go-to-market teams
• You are a fan of iterative development, working with customers and cross-functional teams to hypothesize, measure adoption and impact, learn from releases, and continually improve the roadmap

Requirements:

• You have deep empathy for the needs of developers and are obsessed with talking to your users
• You have prior professional experience as a software engineer, ideally in systems, infrastructure, platform engineering, developer tools, or cloud
• You have strong technical familiarity with sandboxes/microVMs, containers, virtualization technologies, and hypervisors, including the isolation and security boundaries each provides
• You understand the building blocks of modern developer infrastructure, including Linux, container runtimes, orchestration, networking, storage, APIs, and cloud services
• You have experience designing, building, or operating systems that execute customer-provided, untrusted, or agent-generated code at scale
• You are comfortable interacting with a command-line interface and discussing APIs, SDKs, and technical architecture with engineers and developers
• You have experience building B2B or SaaS products, or a background in public cloud and developer infrastructure
• You understand software supply chain and software security concerns, including multi-tenant isolation, identity, secrets management, observability, and reliability
• You can break down complex technical problems into small, releasable, user-valuable features
• You can explain complex ideas simply and communicate effectively in writing, verbally, and visually across diverse stakeholders
• You can analyze qualitative and quantitative data to inform decisions, define success metrics, and prioritize investments
• You have a collaborative approach, experience running products from greenfield to scale, and the ability to work with fast-moving, distributed, cross-functional teams
• Docker does not offer visa sponsorship for this role
• ideally in systems, infrastructure, platform engineering, developer tools, or cloud
