What you'll do

Docusign is hiring a Security GRC Engineer to design, build, and scale the next generation of automation-first GRC solutions. This is a high impact, hands-on technical role for engineers who are passionate about solving complex problems at the intersection of security, risk and technology.

As a Security GRC Engineer, you will help transform traditional governance, risk, and compliance processes into intelligent, data-driven, and automated systems. You will design and implement solutions that integrate across enterprise GRC platforms, cloud services, and data pipelines — applying modern automation and AI/ML techniques to enhance security outcomes, reduce audit fatigue, and enable continuous control monitoring.

The ideal candidate brings strong technical expertise in security engineering, automation, and cloud platforms, with the ability to translate compliance and risk requirements into scalable, engineering-driven solutions. This role provides an opportunity to help shape how GRC is delivered across the enterprise, working closely with engineering, security, and business teams.

This position is an individual contributor role reporting to the Senior Manager of GRC Engineering.

Responsibility

• Design and implement automation frameworks that connect GRC platforms, cloud services, and enterprise data systems to enable continuous control monitoring
• Develop and deploy AI/ML-enabled solutions for risk scoring, control validation, evidence collection, and anomaly detection in compliance data
• Build dashboards and data pipelines that integrate metrics across multiple systems to provide actionable insights for risk and compliance teams
• Engineer scalable automation and orchestration workflows to enforce policies, detect configuration drift, and remediate non-compliant systems at scale
• Extend and enhance enterprise GRC platforms (e.g., ServiceNow, OneTrust) through custom workflows, connectors, and APIs
• Use scripting, orchestration, and data engineering (Python, C#, SQL, Docker, Kubernetes) to deliver reliable, scalable solutions
• Evaluate and integrate emerging technologies (e.g., generative AI, NLP, graph analytics) to improve GRC outcomes and efficiency
• Partner with engineering, security, compliance, and audit teams to translate requirements into scalable technical solutions
• Operate GRC processes and tools as products, ensuring continuous value delivery and measurable impact
• Champion automation-first GRC practices that reduce audit fatigue and operational overhead
