Company Overview

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).

What you’ll do

Operating a global, always‑on platform requires clear signal and fast insight. As a Lead Frontend Engineer, you will set the technical direction for our observability UIs dashboards, explorers, query builders, and alert workflows so engineers can make confident, real‑time decisions. You will lead complex projects, raise the bar on usability, performance, and accessibility, and mentor senior engineers. This position is an individual contributor position reporting to the Engineering Manager, Reliability Tooling.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the frontend technical strategy for observability surfaces (dashboards, traces / metrics / logs explorers, SLO burn‑rate views, service maps, alert & annotation flows), aligning UX, performance, and reliability goals
  • Own complex projects end‑to‑end from design review and architectural decisions through delivery, rollout, and post‑launch iteration
  • Establish patterns for state management, data fetching, error handling, and runtime resiliency
  • Champion performance budgets and SLOs
  • Collaborate with Product, SRE, and Telemetry Platform teams to shape requirements, APIs, and paved‑road UI components
  • Expand and maintain shared components, design‑system alignment, documentation, and CI / CD checks to speed safe delivery
  • Coach senior engineers, lead design reviews, and model best practices in testing, observability, and maintainability
  • Participate in on‑call for the UI tier

  • Experience building for reliability and performance : Core Web Vitals, code splitting, error boundaries, retry / backoff, client‑side caching, and graceful offline / slow‑network behavior
  • Experience with micro‑frontends or large‑scale modularization; design‑system tooling (e.g., Storybook)
