Lead Data Engineer

Docusign brings agreements to life. More than 1.8 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 the Docusign AI-native IAM platform, companies can create, commit, and manage agreements with solutions created by the #1 company in e-signature and contract lifecycle management (CLM).

As the Lead Assignment Engine Data Engineer, you will lead the data engineering design for an explainable, configurable engine that converts normalized cloud and operational data into actionable cost attribution. You will define how shared pools such as observability, storage, networking, SQL, and data platforms are assigned to the products and services that consume them. You will operate at the boundary of data engineering, FinOps, Finance, and platform architecture. The role requires strong technical judgment, the ability to turn ambiguous allocation questions into durable data products, and the leadership to establish patterns that other engineers can extend.
