About this role
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 Security Engineering team, you will be a founding member of the team and define and drive the technical strategy for identity and access at Harvey — both how customers authenticate to Harvey, as well as how internal employees, contractors, and non-human identities access company systems, what they are authorized to do, and how seamlessly access adapts as needs change.
Challenges ahead include exploring how AI-powered access management can understand employee needs, recommend appropriate permissions, streamline decisions, and adapt access as roles and responsibilities evolve, as well as shaping an end user/agent authentication experience that makes signing in to Harvey fast, consistent, reliable, and secure across every surface where our customers work.
