Senior Software Engineer

Docusign • Seattle, WA

4d • Hybrid

About The Position

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.

Requirements

• 8+ years of hands-on software development experience in an object-oriented programming language such as C#, C++ or Java
• 5+ years of working with cloud deployment and configuration tools using scripting and configuration platforms like terraform
• Experience designing and implementing scalable storage systems, distributed systems, APIs, and platform services
• Experience with cloud storage technologies such as managed PostgreSQL, Redis or Valkey, NoSQL or key/value databases, object storage, or messaging systems
• Experience with infrastructure as code using Terraform, including provider, module, blueprint, or provisioning workflow development
• Experience designing abstractions that hide infrastructure implementation details while preserving reliability, security, and operational visibility

Nice To Haves

• Passion to learn new software technologies and platforms
• Strong experience with Agile methodologies and working in an Agile/Scrum environment
• Passion for exploring new technologies and a proven track record as a self-starter with a strong sense of ownership

• Proficiency in the entire software development lifecycle, including version control (Git), CI/CD pipelines, testing, and regional cloud deployments
• Have an interest in working on a highly available site

Responsibilities

• Be open minded, forward thinking and passionate about great software platform and cloud technologies
• Think about how to solve problems in scale and build automation to manage complex software systems
• Build and evolve the STaaS control plane, including logical resource provisioning, lifecycle management, policy enforcement, and cross-cloud consistency
• Develop and maintain Terraform providers, service blueprints, and infrastructure-as-code integrations that allow service teams to declare logical storage dependencies rather than cloud-specific infrastructure
• Create data-plane abstractions using standard protocols, client libraries, sidecars, adapters, and gateway services where appropriate
• Work across storage verticals including PostgreSQL, Redis, Key/Value, Blob, and Universal Bus, with a focus on secure and operationally consistent integrations
• 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
