About Us

Legora is redefining how legal work gets done. Not built for lawyers, built with them. We work alongside the world’s best legal teams, who expect excellence, precision, and speed, and we hold ourselves to the same bar.

Our AI-native workspace lets legal professionals move faster, think more clearly, and operate with sharper precision. By analysing thousands of documents in minutes and powering end-to-end workflows, we cut through complexity, teams can focus on what matters: judgment, strategy, and outcomes.

1,000+ customers across 50+ countries trust us, including Cleary Gottlieb, Goodwin, Linklaters, White & Case, Dentons, and Barclays. We’ve scaled to $100M+ in ARR , with teams across Europe, North America and APAC, and continue to expand through acquisitions including Qura, Walter AI and Graceview.

We partner with world-class performers: including Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees, Ludvig Åberg (and his caddie), and campaigns featuring Jude Law.

Joining Legora means three things.

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

We fight for excellence: high standards, direct, ego-free feedback.

We grow together: as a team and with our customers.

Mission before ego. Everyone contributes. No one coasts.

If you’re driven by impact, pace, and raising the bar. This is the place.

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.

*This is a New York-based, 5-day in-office role. We believe building together in person drives better outcomes.

What You'll Do

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

Champion toil reduction, on-call sustainability, and long-term system resilience

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

Strong architectural judgment for distributed systems: failure modes, scalability, and graceful degradation

Effective communicator who spreads knowledge through post-mortems, runbooks, and design guidance

What’s In It For You

Global collaboration: Partner with teams and clients domestic and internationally.

Competitive package: Comprehensive salary, benefits, and tools for success.

Meaningful work: Your efforts shape how thousands of lawyers use AI daily.

In-person environment: Union Square office designed for ambitious builders.

  • Benefits & Perks: We invest in our people with a comprehensive, thoughtfully designed benefits package:
  • Medical, Dental & Vision

Multiple medical plan options through Aetna and Kaiser Permanente
