Account Executive, Corporate Sales

Docker has been one of the most loved brands in developer tooling, trusted by more than 20 million monthly users and over 20 billion container image pulls. From solo founders to the world's largest companies, developers rely on Docker to build, share, and run their applications across our suite of products including Docker Desktop, Docker Hub, and Docker Scout.

We are a globally distributed, remote-first team building the tools that define how software gets built and delivered. As AI agents redefine software development, Docker is at the center of that shift, providing the sandboxed environments, verified images, and secure infrastructure that make autonomous workflows trustworthy by default.

Docker is seeking a results-oriented Account Executive, Corporate Sales to support the EMEA Strategic Sales team.

The ideal candidate is a self-starter with strong commercial instinct, the ability to move quickly through short sales cycles, and a collaborative mindset that thrives in a team-first environment.
