About Us

Legora is on a mission: to redefine how legal work gets done. From the very start we have been very clear about the fact that we are not building a solution for lawyers, we are building it with them, because it is the only way to make sure it gets done the right way; working side-by-side every step of the way.

Our AI-native workspace empowers legal professionals not just to work faster - but to ask better questions, unlock new insights. Every day, we push the boundaries of legal tech to make complex processes smarter, faster, and more human. From thousands of documents analysed in minutes to intelligent workflows designed in collaboration with leading practices, we’re turning possibility into reality.

Today we are trusted by global firms like Cleary Gottlieb, Goodwin, Bird & Bird and Linklaters in over 40 countries, but we have no plans on stopping here. We ship fast, we iterate effectively, and we scale rapidly - not by accident, but by design.

When you join Legora, you become part of a team that believes "good enough" isn’t good enough and that the way to win is together, by empowering lawyers to do their best work with technology that truly understands them. If you’re excited by building from first principles, working with exceptional people, and accelerating change in a high-stakes, high-impact domain—then this is the moment and the place.

We’re not just shaping the future of legal tech — we’re defining it. Ready to join us in building the intelligent future of law?

The role

As a Site Reliability Engineer at Legora you'll join the founding SRE team at our new NYC engineering hub, working within Foundations to keep our platform reliable and performant as we scale. You'll work across production systems, contributing to observability, incident response, and automation alongside senior engineers.

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

What you will be doing:

  • Operate and improve production services, contributing to deployment, monitoring, and system health

  • Build and maintain observability tooling (metrics, logs, traces) to keep signal high and noise low

  • Contribute to SLI/SLO definition, alerting, and reliability reporting for your services

  • Participate in on-call rotations and help drive post-incident follow-ups and preventive fixes

  • Reduce operational toil through automation and improved developer-facing tooling

  • Collaborate with product and platform engineers to improve deployment safety and system resilience

Who you are

  • Experience building and shipping software, with solid backend and infrastructure skills

  • Comfortable debugging production systems and working under pressure

  • Passionate about writing maintainable code and automation to solve operational problems

  • Curious and proactive, with a desire to understand how systems fail and how to make them better

  • Familiar with observability, incident management, and on-call practices, as well as cloud infrastructure and Kubernetes

What's in it for you

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

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

  • In-person environment: New York City, Chicago, Denver, and Houston 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

    • HSA or Healthcare FSA (based on plan selection)
