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.\nThis 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.\nOur 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.\nAt Harvey, the future of professional services is being written today - and we’re just getting started.\nRole Overview\nAs a Staff Software Engineer on the Core Infrastructure team at Harvey, you'll play a critical role in designing and building new infrastructure systems while equally scaling and strengthening our existing infrastructure. Our infrastructure is the foundation that powers every user interaction with Harvey - processing billions of prompt tokens and millions of daily requests across our global legal AI platform.\nYou'll work in an environment balanced between innovation - building new systems - and operational excellence, ensuring that Harvey remains resilient and efficient as it scales products, regions, customers, and usage. Your contributions will directly impact the reliability, scalability, and security of our platform as we serve the world's leading law firms and professional service providers.\nThis role is based in New York City, New York. We use an in-person work model and offer relocation assistance to new employees.\n What You’ll Do\nDesign and build scalable, fault-tolerant infrastructure systems that power Harvey's AI platform across multiple cloud regions\n\nOwn and evolve our multi-cloud infrastructure (Azure, GCP), including Kubernetes orchestration, networking, and container management\n\nLead technical initiatives around observability, incident response, and operational excellence - building systems that enable rapid detection and resolution of issues\n\nArchitect and optimize our distributed systems for reliability, including load balancing, quota management, and failover mechanisms\n\nPartner with Product Engineering and Security teams to ensure our infrastructure is an accelerant, not a constraint\n\nDrive infrastructure-as-code practices using tools like Terraform and Pulumi to enable reproducible, auditable deployments\n\nMentor engineers and raise the technical bar across the organization through code reviews, design reviews, and technical leadership\n\nRepresentative Projects\nDesign and implement a next-generation model proxy architecture that routes millions of daily inference requests while maintaining model API compatibility and enabling seamless model integration\n\nBuild distributed rate limiting and quota management systems using Redis-backed algorithms to handle bursty traffic patterns without degrading user experience\n\nArchitect multi-region deployment strategies that meet strict data residency requirements for global enterprise customers\n\nDevelop comprehensive observability infrastructure with granular SLA monitoring, burn rate alerts, and detailed token attribution for cost tracking\n\nLead the evolution of our CI/CD pipelines to improve developer velocity while maintaining production stability\n\n What You Have\n10+ years of experience in Infrastructure Engineering or Platform Engineering in a production environment\n\nLong track record building and scaling complex, large-scale distributed systems\n\nDeep proficiency with cloud infrastructure platforms (Azure preferred; GCP or AWS experience transfers well)\n\nStrong fluency in Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools - Terraform, Pulumi, or CloudFormation\n\nSolid understanding of Kubernetes, container orchestration, networking, and cloud security at scale\n\nExperience with observability tools (Datadog, Sentry) and incident response practices (PagerDuty, Incident.io)\n\nStrong programming skills in Python, Go, or similar languages\n\nExcellent problem-solving skills, a \"spidey sense\" of where things could go wrong, and a commitment to operational excellence\n\nNice to Have\nExperience building infrastructure for AI/ML workloads or high-throughput inference systems\n\nBackground with distributed rate limiting, load balancing, or quota management systems\n\nExperience operating multi-tenant platforms with strict security and compliance requirements\n\nTrack record of leading complex cross-functional projects and delivering measurable impact\n\nCompensation Range\n$201,000 - $264,000 USD\nDepending on your location, an Applicant Privacy Notice may apply to you.
