About this [CONTRACT] People Operations Specialist role at Docker
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.
Type: Contractor (possibility of converting to FTE)
Duration: 4-6 months
Docker is looking for a People Operations Specialist contractor to join our People team. This role covers two primary areas of work: supporting assigned client groups while a team member is on leave, and contributing to a critical HRIS data migration as we implement a new HR system.
This is a great fit for a detail-oriented HR Generalist who is comfortable owning day-to-day operational work, collaborating closely with People Partners and program stakeholders, and navigating a fast-paced environment where priorities shift.
