Sr. Detection Engineer

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 peoples 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 Docusigns 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 seeking a skilled and motivated Senior Detection Engineer to join our Threat Detection Engineering team. Reporting to the Manager of Detection Engineering you will play a central role in building and operating the security data pipeline that underpins our detection and response capabilities. This role is focused on onboarding log sources to our SIEM designing and building security data pipelines and ensuring the reliability and quality of the telemetry that we collect. You will manage cloud infrastructure through Terraform and CI/CD pipelines and build automated security operations workflows. We are looking for someone with the engineering depth to ensure the right data arrives in the right place in the right shape on time. This role requires a strong technical foundation in data engineering or DevOps an SRE-minded approach to reliability the ability to be on-call and a passion for building and maintaining the critical infrastructure that powers our detection efforts. We strongly encourage applications from software engineers data engineers and site reliability engineers who have security experience or a demonstrated interest in security. If youve built reliable data pipelines written production automation or managed cloud infrastructure and youre motivated by the problem of keeping an organizations security telemetry complete fresh and trustworthy this role is for you.

This position is an individual contributor role reporting to the Sr. Manager Threat Detection Engineering.

Responsibility

• Onboard and integrate log sources into our SIEM. Work with platform and data owners to identify scope and operationalize new telemetry from initial source discovery through parsing normalization and validation in production

• Design and implement security data pipelines. Architect end-to-end flows for collecting transforming enriching and routing security telemetry at scale. Make decisions about pipeline topology buffering backpressure and delivery guarantees

• Transform and enrich data in-flight. Use data engine tooling to filter noise normalize schemas enrich events with contextual data (asset metadata threat intel identity) and route logs to their correct destination - whether thats the SIEM or a data lake

• Own infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD. Manage cloud resources via Terraform. Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines that deploy pipeline configurations detection content and infrastructure changes through proper git flow with review testing and automated rollback

• Build automation and tooling. Develop software (Python primarily) to automate repetitive security operations workflows log source onboarding health checks data validation alerting integrations and operational runbooks

• Implement pipeline reliability and observability. Design and maintain monitoring that alerts on logging disruptions ingestion latency volume anomalies parsing failures and data quality degradation. Establish SLOs for data freshness completeness and correctness. Ensure the team knows when data stops flowing before the adversary takes advantage of it

• Collaborate with Detection Engineers to ensure they have the data they need in the schema they expect with the freshness guarantees their detections require

• Contribute to operational excellence. Document pipeline architecture runbooks and onboarding processes. Participate in on-call rotation for data platform issues

• Embrace and implement Detection-as-Code principles throughout the detection lifecycle. This includes using version control automated testing and continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines for detections to ensure consistency reliability and scalability

• Design develop and implement high-fidelity threat detections based on threat intelligence attacker TTPs and analysis of security telemetry. Focus on creating detections that are effective accurate and minimize false positives

• Communicate technical concepts. Clearly and concisely communicate technical security concepts findings and recommendations to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

Hybrid: Employee divides their time between in-office and remote work. Access to an office location is required. (Frequency: Minimum 2 days per week; may vary by team but will be weekly in-office expectation)

Positions at Docusign are assigned a job designation of either In Office Hybrid or Remote and are specific to the role/job. Preferred job designations are not guaranteed when changing positions within Docusign. Docusign reserves the right to change a positions job designation depending on business needs and as permitted by local law.

Basic

• 8 years in cybersecurity SRE data engineering or a related field with at least 2 years focused on security data pipelines or SIEM platform engineering

• Hands-on experience onboarding log sources into a SIEM (e.g. Microsoft Sentinel Splunk Elastic) - including working with platform/data owners configuring collection agents/connectors writing parsers and validating data in production

• Experience designing and operating security data pipelines - including architecture decisions around ingestion buffering transformation routing and storage

• Experience with data engine/stream processing tooling for filtering normalizing enriching and routing logs (e.g. Cribl Logstash Azure Data Explorer custom ETL)

• Experience with Infrastructure-as-Code - Terraform for managing cloud resources (Azure preferred; AWS or GCP transferable) with real experience managing state modules and drift

• Experience with DevOps fundamentals - git flow pull request workflows CI/CD pipelines (e.g. GitHub Actions Azure DevOps) automated testing and deployment of infrastructure and pipeline configurations

• Experience in software development with Python or Go - not just scripting but writing maintainable testable code for automation tooling and integrations

• Experience implementing observability and reliability checks for data pipelines - monitoring for ingestion failures latency spikes volume drops schema drift and data quality issues

• Experience with cloud-native logging and monitoring services (e.g. Azure Monitor Event Hubs Log Analytics workspaces)

• Experience with security log types and their value network endpoint identity cloud audit application even if you havent written detections against them

• Experience querying and analyzing logs in a SIEM (e.g. KQL SPL) - for validating data onboarding troubleshooting pipeline issues and verifying data quality and completeness

Preferred

• Familiarity with Detection-as-Code practices and how pipeline changes impact downstream detection logic

• Experience with data engine platforms to perform log filtering normalization enrichment and routing

• Background in SRE or platform engineering with an interest in security

• Exposure to the MITRE ATT&CK framework and how data source coverage maps to detection coverage

• Bachelors degree or equivalent experience in Computer Science Engineering or a related field
