Docker is a leading developer tools company best known for creating the Docker containerization platform, which enables developers to build, share, and run applications in isolated environments. The company has evolved from an open-source project to a comprehensive platform offering container runtime, orchestration, and developer collaboration tools. Headquartered in Palo Alto, USA, Docker serves millions of developers worldwide and has established itself as a foundational player in cloud-native development and DevOps practices.

Docker has a growing presence in Europe, with a recent focus on building out engineering and go-to-market teams across the EMEA region, including roles based in Spain. The company's culture emphasizes innovation, remote-first flexibility, and a strong commitment to developer experience. For international professionals, Docker offers an opportunity to work with cutting-edge container technology while contributing to a globally distributed team, with many roles supporting the EMEA market and requiring multilingual skills, particularly for customer-facing positions.

Company History

Docker was founded in 2013 by Solomon Hykes, Sebastien Pahl, and Kamel Founadi as a platform to simplify containerization using OS-level virtualization. The company experienced rapid growth during the containerization boom and adapted its business model over the years to focus on developer productivity and security. Today, Docker provides a suite of tools for building, sharing, and running applications, and is a key player in the cloud-native ecosystem.

For International Professionals

Docker's EMEA roles, including those based in Spain, are part of a remote-first culture, allowing flexibility in how and where you work.
Several open positions (e.g., Sales Engineer, Technical Account Manager) require German + English, so multilingual skills are a plus for these roles.
Docker supports a hub in the EMEA timezone, making it easier for professionals moving to Spain to collaborate with global teams.
As a global company headquartered in Silicon Valley, Docker offers a regular international R&D environment following a fast-paced developer-focused mindset.
