Designs and scales cloud-native development infrastructure supporting multiple engineering teams. Responsibilities include Kubernetes platform operations, infrastructure-as-code with Terraform and Helm, GitOps with ArgoCD, CI/CD modernization, automation, platform migrations, observability, reliability, security, and incident escalation. The role partners with application and SRE teams, establishes engineering standards, reduces operational toil, and mentors engineers while supporting Azure and AKS environments.
We offer a flexible working policy that supports a healthy balance between personal and professional well-being. This role requires in-office presence on Tuesdays & Thursdays to collaborate, connect, and learn from peers - while also maintaining the flexibility for meaningful work-life balance.
Being a Software Engineer (DevOps) at iManage Means…
You are an engineer, a builder, and a systems thinker — the person other engineers turn to when a
development problem gets hard. You'll create CI/CD and platform guardrails that empower developers to innovate quickly and reliably, combining deep technical judgment with empathy to eliminate developer pain, especially when working with teams stewarding the world's most privileged data.
You uplift those around you, act as a subject matter expert, and drive change across Backend/Platform
Engineering and beyond. You chase contributing factors over root causes, value code over documentation, and documentation over process. You'll reduce toil, and deliver scalable, resilient platforms that support our customers and organization.
As a Software Engineer (DevOps) reporting to the DevOps Lead, you'll help scale our Kubernetes-based cloud platform, lead large-scale infrastructure migrations, and set technical direction for observability, change management, and service scalability. You'll be a key voice as we modernize our CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code practices.
iManage is experiencing explosive growth in its flagship cloud product. We're looking for a senior-level systems engineer specializing in reliability and platform services to help lead our transformative cloud journey, including migrating legacy workloads onto our AKS-based platform. 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 want to set the technical bar for platform engineering across the company, we want to talk to you.
