Women of Docker
Docker is proud to have created a workforce that consists of many exceptional women. We’re committed to creating a diverse workforce and inclusive culture for all. Docker supports the career development and advancement of all of its female employees.
Under-Represented Genders ERG
The mission of Docker’s Under-Represented Genders ERG is to build an inclusive community to discuss and create awareness around issues under-represented genders face in the workplace. The ERG provides tools and resources for gender minorities, and helps colleagues who work with gender minorities to be better equipped to support them. The group is open to all Docker employees on a voluntary basis. Group members can enjoy the benefits of networking, career development, education, and guest speakers.
Diversity and Women in Tech
At Docker, we feel strongly about embracing diversity and are committed to being proactive with respect to inclusion. As an example of our support for diversity, during our DockerCon 2021, we hosted Community Rooms with panels and sessions for our global audience in their native languages. We highlighted the contributions from our women Captains and community developers.
Don’t miss our Docker blog post, ‘Why We Need More Gender Diversity in the Cybersecurity Space,’ to understand the critical importance of having more women in the tech industry.

“As a woman in tech. it’s important to me to feel heard and supported by the organization I’m a part of. My colleagues and I formed an employee resource group for Women at Docker, and I’ve received overwhelming support from leadership and my peers for not only the employee resource group, but also my professional development!”
