## About the Role

Do you have experience in Systems engineering?, * Deep experience operating, designing, and improving large-scale production systems

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.

 * 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
