What you'll do
As a Senior PSIRT Responder, you will play a foundational role in scaling Docusign’s newly formed Product Security Incident Response function. Partnering closely with our PSIRT Lead, you will serve as the second-most senior technical authority on the team, driving the coordination, investigation, and remediation of security vulnerabilities across our product and platform infrastructure. This is a high-autonomy, high-impact role where you will deeply analyze application and cloud-based threats, mentor growing team members, and help shape the operational maturity of our vulnerability disclosure and bug bounty channels.
While leadership handles the majority of external relations, you will serve as a technical subject matter expert who may occasionally interface directly with key customers or partners to provide technical clarity on high-priority inquiries.
This position is an individual contributor role reporting to the Director of Offensive Security.
Responsibility
- Co-lead the end-to-end lifecycle of product security incidents alongside the PSIRT Lead, ensuring robust validation, containment, and root-cause remediation
- Investigate and analyze product and cloud-infrastructure security issues in collaboration with engineering, product, legal, and customer support teams using industry frameworks (OWASP, CVSS, MITRE ATT&CK, CWE)
- Ensure timely, compliant, and effective incident management, moving issues efficiently from initial triage through remediation and closure
- Manage and optimize Docusign's public Bug Bounty and Vulnerability Disclosure Programs (VDP), evaluating incoming submissions for true security risk
- Translate complex security findings into clear, actionable technical advice for internal engineering stakeholders
- Support security leadership by occasionally addressing deep technical questions from key customers or external security researchers
- Collaborate with the PSIRT Lead to design, mature, and scale internal IR playbooks, automation tooling, and metrics for the expanding team
- Participate in a predictable, shared team on-call rotation (Note: Our page volume is historically low)
