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'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.
