Senior Manager, DevSecOps

Job description

Docusign is seeking a transformative, hands-on leader to redefine our DevSecOps landscape. As a Sr. Manager of DevSecOps, you will be the driving force behind modernizing our infrastructure, release philosophy, and CI/CD ecosystem. This is a high-visibility role for a thought leader who challenges the status quo and builds world-class engineering engines from the ground up. You will act as the vital bridge between development, security, and release management, ensuring our pipelines are both lightning-fast and inherently secure.

This position is a people manager role reporting to the VP of Strategy, Release & Operations.

Responsibility:

• Architect the future: Move the organization beyond basic automation into the realm of self-healing infrastructure, internal developer platforms (IDP), and advanced GitOps workflows.
• Apply a data-driven approach to manage complex release cycles and infrastructure projects, ensuring precision in execution.
• Act as a subject matter expert on industry trends (e.g., AI-driven operations, FinOps, OpenTelemetry) and advocate for their adoption across the engineering org.
• Identify architectural bottlenecks and implement solutions proactively (you are expected to audit the current state and propose a 90-day transformation plan within your first month).
• Mentor the India-based team to shift from a "support" mindset to an "engineering-first" mindset, fostering high ownership and innovation.

What you bring:

Basic:

• 15+ years of experience leading large-scale migrations (e.g., monolith to microservices, on-prem to cloud, or manual release and deployment operations to continuous integration and continuous development (CI/CD) focusing on progressive rollouts).
• Proven ability to manage multiple high-priority workstreams under an executive office while maintaining crystal-clear documentation and roadmaps.
• The gravitas to present to executive leadership and persuade cross-functional teams to adopt new DevSecOps and security standards.
• Expertise in Infrastructure as Code (IaC) (Terraform, CloudFormation) with integrated security guardrails.
• Deep experience managing cloud/hybrid environments, including identity, networking, and secure service configurations.
• Hands-on experience with secrets management (Vault) and observability (logging, monitoring, and incident response integration).

Preferred:

• Proven track record of migrating legacy pipelines to a modern DevSecOps model.
• Strong experience with Salesforce architecture, including Scratch Orgs, sandbox strategies, and CI/CD-driven releases.
• Deep expertise in GitHub Enterprise and GitHub Actions, architecting reusable workflows for enterprise-grade SaaS.
• Hands-on experience with CodeQL, secret scanning, dependency reviews, and Docker/Kubernetes hardening.
