Senior Software Engineer, Site Reliability Engineer

At Harvey, we’re transforming how legal and professional services operate. 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 1500+ customers in 60+ 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 moves fast, takes ownership, and is deeply committed to the mission — operating with intensity, staying close to our customers, and pushing each other for excellence. We live by three values: Decisiveness, Simplicity, and Job's Not Finished. We act quickly on clear judgment over perfect information, we believe simplicity is what scales, and we're never satisfied with where we are. If you want to do the best work of your career alongside people who share that drive, we'd love to build with you.

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

As a Software Engineer on the Site Reliability team at Harvey, you will ensure the reliability, scalability, and performance of our legal AI platform. You’ll join a high-leverage team that sits at the intersection of infrastructure and product, owning the systems that keep our platform fast, secure, and always on. From scaling across 50+ regions to automating mission-critical operations, your work will ensure that Harvey remains resilient as we grow. If you’re passionate about building robust systems and reducing complexity through automation, we’d love to work with you.
