Job description

Overview

SRE is part of a global organization that leverages the latest technology to communicate with colleagues across the globe. We organize into distributed teams. SRE teams are anchored to iManage offices across the globe. Tuesdays and Thursdays are dedicated to in‑office collaboration, rapid innovation, and developing a sense of belonging at iManage. Mondays and Fridays are reserved for remote‑friendly focus time to get things done. Have the best of both work styles in a workplace that is intentional about belonging, collaboration, and accomplishment.

Being a Site Reliability Engineer at iManage Means…

You are an engineer, a builder, and a systems thinker. You’ll create middleware and platform guardrails that empower developers to innovate quickly and reliably. You combine technical depth with empathy to eliminate customer pain, especially when working with enthusiastic teams stewarding the world’s most privileged data.

You uplift those around you, act as a subject matter expert, and drive change. You chase contributing factors over root causes, value code over documentation, and documentation over process. You’ll engage in architectural discussions, reduce toil, and deliver scalable, resilient platforms that support our customers and organization.

As an SRE, you’ll help scale our cloud platform, collaborate across teams to promote standardization and resiliency, and participate in on‑call rotations. You’ll be a key voice in observability, change management, and service scalability.

iManage is experiencing explosive growth in its flagship cloud product. We’re seeking software and systems engineers specializing in reliability and platform services to join our transformative cloud journey. This requires rethinking technical decisions with a beginner’s mindset and a focus on resilience and sustainability. If you write code, think in systems, embrace complexity and automation, and are passionate about service resilience and scalability — we want to talk to you.

• Improving the security posture of our products.
• Designing automation, orchestration, observability, and disaster readiness into our products.
• Participating in production support and on‑call rotations.
• Leading incident management and post‑incident retrospectives.

iM Qualified Because I Have…

• Experience writing design documents, postmortems, and refactoring application code.
• Built automation to reduce operational burden or developed internal SaaS tools.
• Ability to advocate for SRE principles (e.g., SLOs vs SLAs) and introduce them effectively.
• Experience in public cloud or hosted datacenter environments (Azure and AKS preferred).
• A passion for collaborative teamwork.

Bonus Points If I Have…

• Hands‑on experience with Linux server stacks (Ubuntu/Debian preferred).
• Knowledge of cloud provisioning platforms (Terraform preferred).
• Exposure to configuration management tools (Chef preferred).
• Experience with containerization/clustering technologies (Docker preferred).
• Familiarity with observability and alerting tools (Prometheus/Grafana or ELK/EFK).
• Practical experience with CI/CD pipelines and rollout strategies.
• A bachelor’s degree (or equivalent experience) in Computer Engineering or related field.
• Proficiency in one or more programming languages (e.g., Java, Python, Golang).
• Familiarity with scripting languages (e.g., PowerShell, Bash, Python, Ruby).
