Job Description

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



This role will be building a KQL -> SQL (ClickHouse) translation layer to accelerate our migration from Azure Data Explorer (Kusto) to ClickHouse for operational time-series analytics.

Responsibility

  • Build a validation harness that runs queries against ADX and ClickHouse, compares results, and reports parity/precision deltas with explainable diffs

  • Publish a Python library/CLI, a "how-to migrate" playbook, and dashboards that track coverage and success metrics

  • Partner with mentors to migrate a prioritized set of KQL queries used by product and platform teams into ClickHouse

  • Prototype an assistive tool that suggests translations for unsupported KQL constructs and surfaces review hints (kept strictly behind manual review gates) as a stretch goal
