In this hybrid role (minimum 2 days/week in-office), you'll brainstorm, design, and implement new solutions using React, TypeScript, and occasionally C#/.NET backend. Collaborate with Product, Design, and Engineering teams in an Agile/Scrum environment to ship high-quality features that enhance DocuSign's platform. Represent craftsmanship excellence, mentor colleagues, improve processes, and build scalable, fault-tolerant systems with telemetry and metrics. Tackle production issues, ensure code maintainability, and lead by example in our fast-paced, ownership-driven culture. We're seeking a self-starter with 12+ years in software engineering, deep UI expertise, and SaaS/cloud experience. Passion for new technologies, Agile proficiency, and strong communication skills are key. Help us innovate in intelligent agreement management while enjoying competitive pay, RSUs, comprehensive benefits, and a diverse, inclusive workplace committed to trust and equality. #LI-Hybrid
