Hire Docker engineers
Our senior Docker engineers containerise production workloads properly, with small images, reproducible builds and no secrets baked into layers. Each one is tested on Dockerfile optimisation, multi-stage builds, Compose orchestration and how they reason about image security before anything ships.
01
AI writes Dockerfiles that quietly bloat images
AI coding tools generate valid Dockerfiles fast, but they default to fat base images and skip multi-stage patterns unless the engineer pushes back. Engineers who know Docker well spend less time writing and more time reviewing what the tool missed.
02
Supply chain risk moved into the base image
Pulling an upstream image now means inheriting its CVEs, and that surface area grows every week. Engineers who containerise properly pin digests, scan layers, and rebuild on upstream changes rather than leaving it to chance.
03
Compose now carries local and staging parity
Docker Compose is carrying more weight as teams use it to mirror staging environments locally and in CI. Engineers now write compose files that non-Docker teammates actually run without a support call, which demands clearer variable handling and documented dependencies.
How we assess Docker engineers
Every engineer works through a fundamentals assessment with AI tools switched off and a second assessment with their own agents running. For Docker engineers, these criteria carry the most weight.
- Debugging
In the codebase session, the engineer diagnoses a container that exits immediately or serves nothing, tracing the fault through layers, entrypoints, and networking rather than guessing.
- AI output verification
The AI-native assessment checks whether the engineer catches a generated Dockerfile that copies credentials into an intermediate layer or uses an unpinned base that introduces a known vulnerability.
- Judgement by risk
Across both assessments we watch whether the engineer spots the trade-offs between image size, build cache efficiency and security surface area, and makes a considered call rather than defaulting to convenience.

What is Supabase?
Supabase is an open-source backend-as-a-service built on PostgreSQL, offering auth, storage, APIs, and real-time data without vendor lock-in.
What is Backend as a Service (BaaS)?
BaaS provides pre-built cloud infrastructure (databases, auth, storage, APIs) so teams ship apps without building or managing servers from scratch.
How to review AI-generated code
Reviewing AI-generated code changes some of what reviewers look for and keeps the rest. This entry covers both, plus the specific failure modes to check for.
Questions about hiring Docker engineers
How senior are the Docker engineers you place?
The Docker engineers we put forward have 6+ years' experience on average, and they've shipped and maintained production systems in Docker. Every one has passed both assessments, and you see their scorecards before you meet them.
How do you test Docker skills specifically?
Both sixty-minute sessions run in a real codebase. In the first assessment, with AI tools off, the engineer writes and debugs Dockerfiles, diagnoses a broken container and explains their image choices. The second assessment adds their own AI agents, and we watch whether they catch what the tool gets wrong.
How quickly can a Docker engineer start?
You get a shortlist within five working days, and the first commit typically lands three weeks after that. Engineers work full-time with a three-month minimum. If someone isn't right, we replace them at our cost.
What does a Docker engineer cost?
You pay a fixed monthly fee of €5,600 to €8,000 per full-time engineer, with employment, payroll and compliance included and no recruitment fee. The pricing page compares it with the all-in cost of a senior local hire in your country. Engagements are full-time with a three-month minimum, and if a placement doesn't work out, we replace them at our cost.
Do they work in our toolchain or their own?
Engineers work in your toolchain, using your repos, CI, container registry and communication tools. They report to your leads and overlap with your team in the CET afternoon. We handle contracts and payments, and day to day they work like a direct hire.
Get a shortlist within five working days
You share the roles and the stack in a short form or a thirty-minute call. Within five working days you get named senior engineers to review, each with both scorecards.
