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. We have 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.
The Developer Experience team is what keeps Harvey’s fast growth momentum possible — the kind of fast where every week brings new products, new capabilities, and new challenges. We build the CI/CD systems, internal frameworks, and platform-level guardrails that enable all Harvey engineers to ship ambitious AI features rapidly and safely.
As a Software Engineer on the Developer Experience team, you will be responsible for creating frameworks and systems that maximize the velocity and efficiency of every engineer at Harvey. You’ll work across the entire tech stack and collaborate with every team to instill reliability, automation, and simplicity into our developer workflows. You'll also have a unique opportunity to apply AI directly to the problem of developer productivity, defining the future of software development within an AI-native company.
If you are passionate about building foundational platforms to enable other engineers to move fast with confidence, we’d love to hear from you.
