Position Overview

As a Senior Backend Platform Engineer at Harvey, you will play a vital role in building and maintaining the cohesive backend platform that underpins all our services. In this mid-to-senior level position, you will design and implement shared frameworks and libraries that abstract common concerns, enhance developer experience, and elevate the standards for reliability and performance across all teams. Your mission will align with our platform vision: to create “a foundational system that empowers product teams to deliver reliable, observable, and high-performing experiences swiftly and securely.” By centralizing common tasks, you will enable product engineers to focus on delivering features efficiently rather than reinventing existing solutions.
