From the original posting

Joining Legora means three things.

We lean in: ownership over titles, outcomes over intentions.

As a Senior Platform Engineer at Legora, you'll join an enabling team focused on making life easier for developers. Your mission: improve reliability, boost performance, and build a rock-solid platform that scales with the company. You'll work hands-on across infrastructure and backend systems, helping teams ship faster, safer, and smarter.

What you will be doing

Operate and evolve our Kubernetes and CNCF-aligned platform: cluster lifecycle, workload primitives, autoscaling, and the golden paths product teams build on
Own cloud ops end-to-end: networking, IAM, secrets, capacity, and cost across Azure, AWS, and GCP
Maintain and expand our growing processing regional architecture: independent Regions, data residency, per-Region operations, and the customer-selectable Region model.
Drive infrastructure as code with Pulumi: modules, guardrails, and review patterns the rest of engineering ships through
Improve reliability, performance, and cost: SLOs, observability, autoscaling, capacity planning, and on-call and incident response
Anchor the platform discipline in NYC and partner closely with SRE and Foundations across regions

Who you are

You have years of experience as a backend engineer but have solid infrastructure, observability, and monitoring know-how
Experience with Kubernetes
Experience with Pulumi (preferred) or similar IaC tools like AWS CDK, Terraform
But most importantly, you are someone who:
- "Gets stuff done" and understands building a $10bn company isn't always glamorous and takes hard work and long hours
- Proactively and independently solves the most burning problems
- Thrives in a fast-paced environment where the answers aren't always clear and processes are few
