Job Description

Senior Principal Program Manager, Engineering Operations – Production Readiness

Docker, Inc

• Define and operationalize “production readiness” standards across security, reliability, privacy, compliance, operability, UI quality, and platform integration. • Design and lead company-wide programs that establish baseline requirements for launching and operating new products and services. • Partner with engineering, product, security, platform, product, and go-to-market leaders to align expectations and ownership across the product lifecycle. • Translate abstract risk and quality concerns into concrete, actionable requirements, checklists, and decision criteria. • Create scalable launch and readiness frameworks that balance rigor with speed in a fast-moving environment. • Own cross-functional launch readiness reviews and decision forums, ensuring risks are surfaced early and resolved intentionally. • Establish clear visibility into launch health, operational risk, and readiness gaps through SDLC governance, automated guardrails, and lightweight metrics and reporting. • Identify systemic gaps in tooling, processes, or ownership that create production risk, and drive remediation programs. • Reduce friction for teams shipping products by providing clarity, support institutionalizing requirements and repeatable mechanisms within dev tools, and maintain the need for agility and iterative flexibility. • Continuously evolve standards and programs as Docker’s products, customers, and regulatory environment mature. • Mentor TPMs and engineering partners on large-scale execution, risk management, and cross-functional coordination.

Job Requirements

  • 10+ years of experience in technical program management, engineering operations, or platform/production readiness roles, including Staff-level or equivalent scope.
  • Proven success leading cross-company programs that define and enforce engineering or operational standards.
  • Strong technical background in cloud platforms, distributed systems, and enterprise software.
  • Experience partnering with security, engineering, platform, product and go-to-market teams.
  • Demonstrated ability to operate in high-ambiguity environments, turning unclear expectations into clear operating models.
  • Exceptional influence, communication, and facilitation skills across senior technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Track record of building scalable, lightweight processes that improve outcomes without slowing teams down.
  • Experience in distributed or remote-first organizations.
