With intelligent agreement management, Docusign unleashes business-critical data that is trapped inside of documents.

The Storage as a Service team builds the internal storage platform that enables product teams to provision and use durable storage without needing to manage the implementation details of each cloud provider. The platform provides consistent control-plane, data-plane, and management-plane abstractions across Docusign PostgreSQL, Redis, Key/Value, Blob, and Universal Bus offerings. Docusign is looking for a seasoned Senior Software Engineer to join the Storage as a Service team, focused on building highly scalable, available, secure, and reliable distributed storage platforms. You will design and implement the services, APIs, automation, and abstractions that make storage easier and safer for teams across Docusign. You will work across control-plane provisioning, Terraform-based infrastructure as code, cloud-native data-plane integrations, migration paths, autoscaling, observability, and operational tooling. The role will involve building cross-cloud capabilities backed by services such as Google AlloyDB, Azure PostgreSQL Flexible Server, Google Memorystore, Azure Managed Redis, Google Firestore, Azure Cosmos DB, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage, Google Pub/Sub, and Azure Service Bus. You will help create a consistent developer experience while optimizing the underlying infrastructure for reliability, performance, security, and cost.

This position is an individual contributor role reporting to the Sr. Manager, Engineering.

Responsibility

• Design and integrate storage solutions (databases, object stores, queues/streams) with clear patterns for replication, backup/restore, data routing, governance, and encryption in transit/at rest

• Design platform capabilities for multi-tenancy, account-aware storage, per-account encryption keys, account transfers, quota management, and safe access boundaries

• Mentor and coach engineers, perform design and code reviews, and lead cross-team initiatives that raise the technical bar and platform reliability
