Responsibilities

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…

• This is a New York-based, 5-day in-office role. We believe building together in person drives better outcomes.
• Architect and own reliability and infrastructure strategy across multiple teams and services
• Own the observability, capacity planning, and monitoring strategy for complex distributed systems
• Define and evolve SLI/SLO frameworks, error budgets, and production readiness standards org-wide
• Lead incident management practices, escalation design, and drive systemic improvements from post-mortems

What they're looking for

• Deep experience operating, designing, and improving large-scale production systems
• A technical leader who drives reliability outcomes across teams, not just within your own
• Strong architectural judgment for distributed systems: failure modes, scalability, and graceful degradation
• Effective communicator who spreads knowledge through post-mortems, runbooks, and design guidance
