Remote Lighthouse Jobs in Oregon (NOW HIRING)

Docusign brings agreements to life. Over 1.5 million customers and more than a billion people in over 180 countries use Docusign solutions to accelerate the process of doing business and simplify people's lives. With intelligent agreement management, Docusign unleashes business-critical data that is trapped inside of documents. Until now, these were disconnected from business systems of record, costing businesses time, money, and opportunity. Using Docusign's Intelligent Agreement Management platform, companies can create, commit, and manage agreements with solutions created by the #1 company in e-signature and contract lifecycle management (CLM).

Docusign is at a pivotal moment. We are transforming from the world's leading eSignature tool into an Intelligent Agreement Management (IAM) platform. This shift requires more than just "stable" infrastructure; it requires a revolutionary approach to reliability. We are looking for a Principal SRE who doesn't just manage systems, but transforms them. You are an Engineering-First visionary who believes that the only way to achieve 99.99% reliability at scale is through code, not humans. You will be tasked with evolving our SRE organization from a traditional support-focused model into a lighthouse of engineering excellence that leads the company's technical strategy.

This position is an individual contributor role reporting to the VP, Engineering - Site Reliability.

Responsibility

• Lead and code with the team

• Lead the cultural and technical shift toward treating reliability as a product feature

• Move the org away from reactive "ops" work toward building durable platforms and self-healing systems

• Possess elite Incident Commander skills while not expected to be in the daily on-call rotation, stepping in during high-stakes outages to bring calm and clarity, and use those experiences to architect systems that ensure those incidents never happen again

• Define the "Golden Paths" for our Cloud migration, ensuring that as Docusign scales globally, our architecture remains "Multi-Active" and impervious to regional cloud failures

• Challenge the status quo, mentoring Senior and Staff SREs to think like software architects

• Advocate for "Error Budgets" that have real teeth, influencing product roadmaps to prioritize long-term stability

Remote: Employee is not required to be in or near an office frequently and works from a designated remote work location for the majority of the time.

Positions at Docusign are assigned a job designation of either In Office, Hybrid or Remote and are specific to the role/job. Preferred job designations are not guaranteed when changing positions within Docusign. Docusign reserves the right to change a position's job designation depending on business needs and as permitted by local law.

Basic

• 15+ years of experience in large-scale distributed systems, software engineering, or infrastructure roles, with a track record of driving system architecture

• Experience as a software engineer by trade with deep proficiency in Go or Python, possessing a "code-first" approach and a passion for writing production-grade automation services alongside the engineering team

• Experience with proven technical leadership in building global, active-active distributed systems at hyperscale, functioning simultaneously as an architect and an engineering peer

• Experience with production-hardened mastery of Kubernetes and Terraform to manage complex, multi-tenant cloud topographies

• Experience acting as a primary Lead Incident Commander for tier-0 global outages, with the ability to translate operational chaos into actionable technical stabilization

• Experience defining "Developer Experience" strategies and contributing to Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) that bake resilience and infrastructure abstractions directly into developer workflows

Preferred

• Technical expertise executing high-stakes on-premises to cloud migrations natively within Microsoft Azure (specifically utilizing Azure Kubernetes Service / AKS and Azure traffic routing)

• Hands-on experience architecting global distributed tracing capabilities using the OpenTelemetry ecosystem to track deep, user-centric SLO metrics across microservices

• Experience developing self-healing infrastructure patterns through a blend of deterministic code and AI-assisted/predictive anomaly remediation models

• Experience championing and setting up automated fault-injection frameworks to proactively prove system recoverability before a real production blast radius occurs

• Experience building safe deployment architectures (Canary, Blue/Green) managed via secure pipelines (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps) with automated safety policies embedded directly into the code lifecycle
