Director of Platform Engineering

At Harvey, we’re transforming how legal and professional services operate — not incrementally, but end-to-end. By combining frontier agentic AI, an enterprise-grade platform, and deep domain expertise, we’re reshaping how critical knowledge work gets done for decades to come.

This is a rare chance to help build a generational company at a true inflection point. With 700+ customers in 58+ countries, strong product-market fit, and world-class investor support, we’re scaling fast and defining a new category in real time. The work is ambitious, the bar is high, and the opportunity for growth — personal, professional, and financial — is unmatched.

Our team is sharp, motivated, and deeply committed to the mission. We move fast, operate with intensity, and take real ownership of the problems we tackle — from early thinking to long-term outcomes. We stay close to our customers — from leadership to engineers — and work together to solve real problems with urgency and care. If you thrive in ambiguity, push for excellence, and want to help shape the future of work alongside others who raise the bar, we invite you to build with us.

At Harvey, the future of professional services is being written today — and we’re just getting started.

As the Director of Platform Engineering, you will lead Harvey’s Core Infrastructure and Enterprise Platform teams. These teams form the foundation that all of our products and internal engineering capabilities are built on. This includes our multi-cloud infrastructure, observability, data pipelines, internal tooling, and the product offerings that our champions and buyers depend upon. You'll lead a team of ~10 engineers (and growing), shaping the systems that enable our product teams to move fast and our customers to scale with confidence. This is a senior leadership role, reporting directly to the VP of Engineering.

At Harvey, we value Decisiveness, Simplicity, and the mindset that Job's Not Finished. We move fast, prioritize clarity, and are always striving for excellence. If this resonates with you, we'd love to hear from you.
