Company Overview 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).

You will own the strategy and execution of platform engineering initiatives, including developer experience (DevEx), CI/CD automation, system integration patterns, access control frameworks, and observability. This role is focused on enabling engineering teams through shared services, reusable frameworks, and automation—not feature delivery. You will lead an autonomous engineering team in India, establishing durable platform capabilities that improve engineering velocity, system reliability, and long-term scalability across Docusign’s systems, including but not limited to Salesforce.
