Staff Infrastructure Security Engineer

Role Overview

Some of the world's largest companies and their law firms use Harvey’s AI capabilities to deliver world-class client services at unprecedented scale and efficiency. Harvey allows high-performing professionals to gain deep domain knowledge faster, understand the big picture, and tackle more complex challenges in less time.

Security is at the heart of what we do. Our customers trust us with their most sensitive data, and we take that responsibility seriously. As part of our team, you’ll help us maintain a secure, trustworthy, and compliant platform—an essential foundation for everything we build.

As a Staff Infrastructure Security Engineer, you’ll set the technical direction for secure-by-default infrastructure security across Harvey’s platform, establishing the patterns and standards the broader engineering organization builds on. This includes designing and implementing processes and technologies for least privilege, isolating different components, managing attack surface, and implementing layers of tenant isolation on our multi-tenant SaaS offering. You’ll also create frameworks and repeatable patterns that enable our research and engineering teams to move quickly and independently—without sacrificing security.

Our security program at Harvey is growing fast, so this is an incredible opportunity to get in at the beginning and shape the future of what Security at Harvey looks like. This team approaches security with an engineering-first mindset with our customers front and center to everything we do.

• Incorporate secure design principles into our cloud architecture.
• Establish reusable security patterns, standards, and guardrails that enable product and platform teams to build securely by default
• Develop isolation mechanisms (e.g. sandboxing) in collaboration with our product engineering team
• Review security-critical configuration changes and act as Codeowner for security-critical parts of our cloud configurations (everything is IaC)
• Partner with Engineering and Product teams to:
