Technical Platform Expert - Sydney

Legora Legora · Vertical AI · Sydney, Australia · Customer Enablement

This role is a technical platform expert responsible for deep technical escalations, validating the platform before release, detecting systemic events, and serving as the AI subject-matter expert for a legal AI product. The role acts as the final technical authority on platform behavior, bridging the gap between product promises and customer experience, and influencing product and engineering decisions based on real-world platform failures and AI output patterns. It involves driving technical root cause analysis in incidents and building diagnostic tooling and automation.

What you'd actually do

  1. Own the hardest problems: Take the deepest technical escalations from across the function and drive them to root cause through rigorous log, data, and system-level analysis.
  2. Validate the platform before it ships: Support beta testing and pre-GA investigations. Identify where real platform behavior diverges from the spec, pressure-test workflows under real conditions, and deliver findings to Product Operations with clear reproduction steps before they become customer-facing incidents.
  3. Detect and declare systemic events: Identify when individual tickets share a common root cause and trigger coordinated incident response before volume makes the pattern undeniable. Own the signal that turns a cluster of cases into a declared Sev1 or Sev2 incident.
  4. Be the AI subject-matter expert: Serve as the expert on platform behavior and AI output patterns, including accuracy, retrieval quality, document processing, and anomalous output.
  5. Be the support function's voice in Product and Engineering: Bring the real-world pattern of platform failures into product reviews, release planning, and engineering discussions. Surface what the support tiers see that Product Operations does not, and advocate for the diagnostic tooling, observability improvements, and platform fixes that make the function faster and the product more reliable.
