Benefits and Perks
At Docker, we believe you do your best work when you feel your best. As a remote-first company, we prioritize flexibility and support every aspect of your well-being. Our comprehensive benefits package includes top-tier healthcare, mental wellness resources, and ongoing learning and development opportunities — at home, on the go, and everywhere in between.
Remote Life, Done Right
At Docker, remote-first isn’t a policy — it’s how we’re built. We give you the tools and flexibility to do your best work from anywhere:
- Home office setup stipend — get your workspace ready before day one
- Monthly technology stipend — stay connected and productive
- Monthly coworking allowance — work from a space that works for you
- Async-first culture — results matter more than when or where you work
- Time zone flexibility — we’re globally distributed and we mean it
We also have office hubs in Paris and Seattle for teams who want occasional in-person collaboration.
“The benefits at Docker provide support from day one and beyond. The office setup budget made it easy to create a functional workspace before I started, the monthly and upgrade budget helps keeps me connected and productive and the health insurance provides excellent coverage for my entire family with no cost to us“
Shaun Thompson
Manager, Engineering
We Take Care of our People
We design our benefits to support every part of your life, from your health and wellbeing to your growth and time off, so you can do your best work and live well outside of it.
Health & Wellbeing

- High-quality, localized benefits for employees outside the U.S.
- Telehealth access and an easy-to-use benefits platform.
- Mental health support, including coaching, EAPs, and wellness apps.
“What stands out most to me about Docker is how deeply the company cares for its people. Covering my family’s healthcare – premiums, deductibles, and all – has made a meaningful difference in our lives. It’s a powerful reflection of a company that truly puts its employees and their families first.“
