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
We are seeking a talented and proactive AI Detect and Respond Engineer to join our team. This position is focused on defending the organization against AI-enabled threats and leveraging AI to enhance our defensive capabilities. You will act as the bridge between AI security and our operational defense teams (SOC & CSIRT, Detection Engineering, and Threat Intelligence). In this role, you will focus on the threats introduced by LLM and agentic systems, including, but not limited to, prompt injection and indirect prompt injection, unsafe or over-permissioned tool and MCP integrations, agent hijacking and privilege escalation, unintended autonomous actions, and data exfiltration through model inputs and outputs. You will build the detection and monitoring capability that makes this activity visible to our defenders, and design the controls that contain it. You will also implement AI-powered tooling that improves the speed and efficacy of our threat detection and response workflows.
This position is an individual contributor role reporting to the Sr Director of AI & Data Security.
Responsibility
- Monitor the threat landscape for emerging tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) targeting LLM and agentic systems, including new prompt injection and jailbreak methods, tool and MCP abuse, and agent-to-agent attack patterns
- Build monitoring and visibility for LLM and agent activity, including prompt and response logging, tool invocation and MCP call telemetry, and audit trails sufficient to investigate agent actions after the fact
- Own the configuration and ongoing management of AI protection platforms such as AI Guardrails, including policy authoring, prompt and response inspection rules, and enforcement for sanctioned and unsanctioned AI usage
- Collaborate with environment owners and Security Tooling teams to implement model security scanning capabilities to ensure coverage and provide ongoing maintenance
- Extend AI detection and enforcement coverage across our Azure and AWS environments, including cloud-native AI services (e.g., Azure OpenAI Service, Amazon Bedrock) and their associated logging and audit telemetry
- Collaborate with the Detection and Response teams to develop playbooks and detection logic for AI based risks and attacks, prompt injection, elevation of privilege, data exfiltration, etc
- Partner with Threat Intelligence teams to track threat actors leveraging LLMs for code generation, exploit development, or reconnaissance
- Translate technical AI security risks into business impact and communicate recommendations to operational stakeholders
Job Designation
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.

What you bring
Basic
- 5+ years of experience in a Detection and Response engineering role, with at least 1 year focused on AI/ML systems
- Experience configuring and operating security enforcement platforms (e.g., Zscaler, Netskope, or comparable proxy, DLP, or AI guardrail tooling), including policy tuning and lifecycle maintenance
- Experience securing workloads in cloud providers (e.g., Azure, AWS) including familiarity with their native AI/ML services and logging and telemetry sources
- Experience with LLM and agentic attack techniques, including prompt injection and indirect prompt injection, jailbreaks, tool and function-calling abuse, excessive agency, and exfiltration through model outputs
- Experience investigating or detecting threats in systems where the audit trail is non-deterministic, and building detection logic against noisy or probabilistic signals
- Experience with the MITRE ATLAS framework (Adversarial Threat Landscape for Artificial-Intelligence Systems), MITRE ATT&CK, and OWASP Top 10 for LLMs and Agents
- Experience with scripting languages such as Python, Go, or PowerShell for security automation
- Experience with SIEM, SOAR, and EDR platforms, and an understanding of how to integrate AI/ML models into these workflows
- Experience translating technical security risks into business context and actionable recommendations
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or a related field
Preferred
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to influence technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Certifications: GCIH, GCTI, CISSP, or AI-specific security certifications
- Experience with "Red Teaming" AI systems or conducting adversarial simulations
- Knowledge of frameworks such as NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, and NIST CSF
- Experience operating security tooling across multi-cloud environments and integrating enforcement controls with identity, network, and endpoint platforms
- Experience driving automation strategies, predictive analytics, and data-driven insights
