The Customer Experience Engineer (CXE) is a 1:many, digital-first post-sales technical role responsible for designing, operating, and continuously optimizing customer journeys that drive product adoption, value realization, and long-term success with Docker.
CXEs deliver impact through digital, programmatic customer engagement. The role blends strong technical fluency with journey design, lifecycle thinking, and data-driven optimization. CXEs create and evolve repeatable digital journeys—such as onboarding flows, technical education programs, adoption campaigns, and cohort-based enablement—that help customers progress through meaningful stages of usage.
This role is ideal for individuals who want to apply and grow their technical expertise while expanding into program ownership, cohort management, and digital customer success, influencing outcomes for large customer populations through systems and programs.
ResponsibilitiesDigital Program Design & Adoption (1:many)
Design, launch, and operate digital, 1:many technical programs (e.g., webinars, workshops, cohort-based enablement, automated lifecycle journeys) that drive customer adoption and maturity.
Build and manage customer cohorts based on lifecycle stage, product usage, and engagement signals.
Ensure programs are repeatable, measurable, and continuously improved through iteration.
Journey Monitoring, Testing & Optimization
Monitor digital customer journeys using product telemetry, engagement data, and lifecycle metrics to understand customer progression and behavior.
Continuously test, refine, and optimize journeys by:
experimenting with messaging, timing, and targeting
iterating on program structure and content
measuring adoption lift and engagement outcomes
Own the feedback loop between customer behavior, program design, and journey performance.
Technical Enablement & Expertise Development
Leverage technical expertise to design high-quality technical enablement for platform, security, and developer audiences.
Create and curate reusable digital assets (guides, walkthroughs, labs, recordings) that support adoption across customer cohorts.
Continuously advance technical depth across Docker products and adjacent technologies, informed by real-world customer usage patterns.
Customer Insights & Lifecycle Intelligence
Analyze usage and engagement data to surface insights related to:
adoption readiness
lifecycle progression
opportunities to improve customer experience design
Partner with Product, Marketing, and CX Operations to translate insights into:
lifecycle automation
product-led experiments
program and content improvements
Cross-Functional Collaboration
Collaborate with Sales, TAMs, Product, Marketing, and Engineering to align on lifecycle goals and deliver cohesive digital customer experiences.
Act as a multiplier, amplifying impact through programs, journeys, and systems rather than individual interactions.
You enjoy helping customers succeed through digital, 1:many experiences and are motivated by improving outcomes through iteration, experimentation, and thoughtful program design. You are comfortable operating at the intersection of technology, customer behavior, and lifecycle execution.
QualificationsRequired
3+ years in customer success, technical enablement, implementation, solutions engineering, or program-oriented post-sales roles
Strong technical foundation in Docker, containers, and modern cloud-native tooling (e.g., CI/CD, Kubernetes, cloud platforms)
Demonstrated experience designing or running digital, 1:many programs that drive measurable adoption or behavior change
Comfort working with data: usage metrics, engagement signals, dashboards, and experimentation results
Strong written and verbal communication skills; confident presenting to technical audiences in 1:many settings
Preferred
Experience in digital customer success, lifecycle programs, or cohort-based enablement
Familiarity with customer engagement and lifecycle tooling (e.g., Gainsight, HubSpot, Marketo, or similar)
Exposure to product-led growth (PLG) or usage-based lifecycle models
Experience improving customer journeys through testing, experimentation, and optimization
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience
Learn Docker’s platform, customer lifecycle model, and existing CXE programs
Understand current digital journeys, cohorts, and success metrics
Begin contributing to journey analysis and optimization discussions
Take ownership of one or more digital, 1:many programs or journeys
Analyze usage and engagement data to identify improvement opportunities
Begin testing and refining program design and delivery
Deliver measurable improvements in adoption or engagement metrics
Propose and implement optimizations to customer journeys
Contribute insights that shape lifecycle strategy and program evolution
CXEs grow by:
owning increasingly complex and impactful digital customer journeys
deepening technical expertise across Docker’s platform
shaping how Docker delivers customer value through 1:many, digital engagement
