Full Job Description
As a Senior Platform Engineer at Legora, you'll join an enabling team focused on making life easier for developers. Your mission: improve reliability, boost performance, and build a rock-solid platform that scales with the company. You'll work hands-on across infrastructure and backend systems, helping teams ship faster, safer, and smarter.

What you will be doing
  • Operate and evolve our Kubernetes and CNCF-aligned platform: cluster lifecycle, workload primitives, autoscaling, and the golden paths product teams build on
  • Own cloud ops end-to-end: networking, IAM, secrets, capacity, and cost across Azure, AWS, and GCP
  • Maintain and expand our growing processing regional architecture: independent Regions, data residency, per-Region operations, and the customer-selectable Region model.
  • Drive infrastructure as code with Pulumi: modules, guardrails, and review patterns the rest of engineering ships through
  • Improve reliability, performance, and cost: SLOs, observability, autoscaling, capacity planning, and on-call and incident response
  • Anchor the platform discipline in NYC and partner closely with SRE and Foundations across regions
Who you are
  • You have years of experience as a backend engineer but have solid infrastructure, observability, and monitoring know-how
  • Experience with Kubernetes
  • Experience with Pulumi (preferred) or similar IaC tools like AWS CDK, Terraform
  • But most importantly, you are someone who:
    • "Gets stuff done" and understands building a $10bn company isn't always glamorous and takes hard work and long hours
    • Proactively and independently solves the most burning problems
    • Strives in a fast-paced environment where the answers aren't always clear and processes are few
