About The Team

The IT and AI Enablement function exists to make Legora itself run as well as the product we sell: secure, automated, and compounding over time. We select, configure, secure, and operate the technology Legora's employees touch every day: laptops, AV, physical access, the global Meraki and Tailscale network spine, and the SaaS application portfolio. We own the device, network, and applications estate that every employee depends on, and we set the standards for how it is run across all of Legora's locations.

What You'll Be Doing
  • Run day-to-day IT operations for a Legora office or region: endpoint management, on-site support, vendor coordination, and new-site buildouts.
  • Own a portfolio of SaaS systems end-to-end - lifecycle, configuration, governance, procurement input, capacity planning, integrations health.
  • Be the named system owner accountable for the B/C/D plan on each in-scope asset.
  • Operate the global office network and zero-trust mesh, and the cloud firewall rules and segmentation that sit alongside it.
  • Partner with the Helpdesk team on Tier-2 escalations and with Information Security on identity, network, and SaaS controls.
Who You Are
  • 5+ years of relevant experience. Project-driven, comfortable owning scope end-to-end.
  • A builder - you like setting standards, automating drudgery, and making the next office buildout cleaner than the last.
  • Clear judgement on trade-offs between speed, security, and cost when configuring real systems for real users.
  • Comfortable working across teams and locations; you take ownership of your portfolio rather than waiting to be told what to fix.
  • Ambitious about deepening your craft - you keep up with how the modern workplace stack evolves and want to be hands-on with it.
Optional Experiences
  • macOS and Windows administration at scale (MDM, Intune, security baselines).
  • Networking fundamentals - VPN, firewalls, DNS, office-network design.
  • Cloud network security across AWS, Azure, and GCP; infrastructure-as-code (Pulumi or Terraform).
  • DNS, BGP, and mTLS / certificate fundamentals.
  • SaaS administration - IAM, SAML / SCIM, vendor management, lifecycle management.
  • Experience with Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, 1Password, Lumos, Jamf, Apple Business Manager, and CrowdStrike.
  • Experience with Neat video conferencing, Tailscale, Zoom, Meraki, and Verkada.
What's In It For You
  • Global collaboration: Partner with teams and clients across Stockholm, New York, London, and Sydney.
  • 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.
