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.

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

Legora is an Equal Opportunity Employer

We’re proud to be an equal opportunity employer and committed to creating an inclusive, high-performance culture where everyone can do their best work.
