Director of Engineering, Core Product

About the 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

Harvey is evolving from a suite of individual tools into a unified, agentic platform for all legal knowledge work. We are building more than just a chat interface; we are building the orchestration layer that allows legal professionals to automate complex workflows, reason over vast datasets, and execute multi-step tasks across the entire legal lifecycle.

The Core Product pillar sits at the center of this evolution. As the primary entry point and engagement driver for the Harvey ecosystem, this team is responsible for architecting the platform foundations and user experiences that power the next generation of AI-native legal applications. You will ensure we build a cohesive, agentic platform that serves as the operating system for the future of legal work, while continuing to drive significant engagement and growth for Harvey.
