[CONTRACT] People Operations Specialist

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.

• Serve as the primary operational HR contact for assigned client groups

• Manage employee inquiries across People help and communication channels, routing complex matters to the appropriate People Partner

• Run employee lifecycle processes end-to-end, coordinating with relevant cross-functional partners

• Maintain and update HRIS data for assigned client groups, including validating downstream impacts of employee record changes

• Support the rollout of People programs for assigned groups and prepare employee-facing documentation as needed

• Conduct regular audits to ensure data integrity and compliance across employee records

As a supporting contributor to our HRIS implementation, you'll help the project team with:

• Auditing and cleaning employee data in preparation for migration

• Identifying and flagging data discrepancies or gaps for resolution

• Completing data entry, validation, and QA tasks as directed by the project lead

• 2–3 years of experience as an HR Generalist or similar role

• Hands-on experience with HRIS platforms (preferably HiBob and/or BambooHR) — comfortable with data entry, report building, and system navigation

• Experience working for technology companies in a fully remote, global environment

• Strong attention to detail and a track record of maintaining accurate employee records

• Ability to manage multiple workstreams and shifting priorities in a fast-paced environment

• Clear, professional communication skills — both written and verbal

• Comfort working with sensitive and confidential employee data

• Experience working cross-functionally with teams like IT, Finance, and Payroll
