Joining Legora means three things.

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

The Role

As a Staff Site Reliability Engineer you'll play a lead role on the founding SRE team at our new NYC engineering hub. You'll own multi-team reliability and infrastructure architecture, drive cross-functional initiatives, and set the standard for operational excellence across Legora's platform, partnering closely with teams in Stockholm.

Partner across engineering to lead design reviews and raise the bar on deployment safety and operational quality

What You Bring

Deep experience operating, designing, and improving large-scale production systems
A technical leader who drives reliability outcomes across teams, not just within your own
