Job description

Why Harvey

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.

Role Overview

As a Staff 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.

This role is based in San Francisco, CA. We use an in-person work model and offer relocation assistance to new employees.

What You’ll Do

Design, implement, and manage monitoring, alerting, and infrastructure resources (compute, storage, networking) across 50+ global regions

Lead incident management processes, including postmortems, root cause analyses, and driving actionable improvements

Automate operational tasks and workflows, building tools and processes for capacity planning, graceful rollouts, and safe data access to maintain high reliability and reduce manual intervention

Establish best practices for security, compliance, and reliability and collaborate across teams to drive these principles throughout the software lifecycle

Optimize infrastructure costs through strategic capacity planning and build-versus-buy decisions while maintaining system performance, reliability, and functionality

Provide technical mentorship and leadership, promoting best practices and fostering team growth

What You Have

10+ years of experience in Site Reliability Engineering or similar roles supporting production environments, with proven ability to mentor and guide technical teams

Expertise in infrastructure as code(IaC) tools (Pulumi, Terraform, CloudFormation, etc.)

Deep familiarity with observability tools (Datadog, Sentry, etc.) and incident response practices (PagerDuty, IncidentIO, etc.)

Proficiency with cloud infrastructure platforms (Azure, GCP, AWS, etc.)

Strong programming skills (Python, Bash, Go, or similar languages)

Proven track record of diagnosing complex system problems and implementing durable solutions

Solid understanding of CI/CD, Kubernetes, containerization, networking, databases, and cloud security principles

Excellent problem-solving skills, meticulous attention to detail, and a commitment to operational excellence

Compensation Range

$238,000 - $290,000 USD
