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 looking for Senior Software Engineers to join our development team in San Francisco. This position will be part of a team working on Docusign's Unified Experiences. The team is focused on delivering reusable end-customer experiences to internal DocuSign teams and external developer experiences, including related App Model configurations. A key area of focus for this team is building and integrating secure, scalable Identity Verification (IDV) experiences and APIs that power how customers verify identities as part of their agreement workflows.
This position requires strong critical thinking skills, the ability to quickly understand existing systems, and experience working in agile environments. The individual will primarily be building for developers, so an understanding of the developer ecosystem and empathy for developers are important. You will collaborate closely with product, security, and platform teams to design IDV flows, integrate with IDV providers, and ensure that identity data is handled securely and compliantly. If you have these qualities and a passion for building high-quality experiences that make it easier for customers to manage their agreement and identity verification processes, we’d love to talk to you.
This position is an individual contributor role reporting to the Senior Manager, Software Engineering.
