Being a Site Reliability Engineer – Data Services at iManage Means…
You are an engineer, a builder, and a systems thinker. You ensure data durability, optimize query performance, and manage stateful storage upgrades. You combine technical depth with empathy, working closely with customers who hold the highest expectations for the stewardship of the world’s most sensitive data.
You elevate the people around you—acting as a subject matter expert, a mentor, and an agent of change. You focus on contributing factors rather than single root causes, value code over documentation and documentation over process, and continuously seek ways to reduce toil.
You participate in architectural and design discussions, helping shape a scalable, resilient platform that supports both our customers and our organization. You collaborate across teams to drive unified, standards‑based decisions that strengthen reliability. You also take part in on‑call rotations and provide expertise in observability, change management, and system scalability.
As iManage experiences rapid growth in its flagship cloud product, we’re looking for engineers who bring a beginner’s mindset, embrace complexity, and care deeply about resilience and sustainability in a cloud‑native world. This role includes a strong focus on the reliability and evolution of our core data services, including MariaDB, MaxScale, and Elasticsearch. If you write code, think in systems, automate relentlessly, and are passionate about reliability and scale, we want to talk to you.

- Developed automation to reduce the operational burden of a product or developed software-as-a-service for internal customers.
- Ability to advocate for SRE concepts such as Google's SRE concepts (e.g., I know the differences between an SLO and an SLA and can effectively introduce them to an organization).
- Experience working in a public cloud and/or hosted datacenter environment (Azure and AKS strongly preferred).
- A passion for working collaboratively with other teams.
- Hands on experience with MariaDB, MaxScale, or Elasticsearch in production environments.
- Familiarity with data store observability, query performance tuning, or capacity planning.

- Exposure to at least one configuration management platform (Chef preferred).
- Experience with containerization/clustering technologies (Docker preferred).
- Comfortability with observability and alerting tools (Prometheus/Grafana or ELK/EFK preferred).
- Practical experience with CI/CD pipelines and ability to describe the pros/cons associated with different rollout strategies.
- A bachelor’s degree (or equivalent experience) in Computer Engineering or a related field.
- Demonstrable proficiency in one or more programming languages (e.g., Java, Python, Golang).
