Our team is composed of sharp, driven individuals who are passionately committed to our mission.

Role Overview

As a Senior Staff Software Engineer on our Product Security team, you will play a vital role in integrating security into our AI platform from the outset. Given that we handle and process our clients’ most sensitive information, prioritizing security is essential throughout our product lifecycle. You will take the lead in safeguarding crucial aspects of our product while spearheading high-impact security initiatives that elevate our entire engineering organization — balancing hands-on technical contributions with cross-functional leadership and mentorship. You’ll be responsible for designing and implementing both technical safeguards and security features within the Harvey platform.

Our security program thrives on our collective offensive security experience: penetrating systems at other organizations (in white-hat capacities), responding to real security incidents, and drawing lessons from data breaches elsewhere. We routinely conduct penetration tests and red team exercises with external security experts. Simultaneously, we are all software engineers who contribute code daily, approaching security with an engineering-first mindset.

What You’ll Do

  • Establish and enhance the security posture across the engineering organization, setting scalable standards.

  • Collaborate with Product Engineering, Infrastructure, and other teams to integrate security into every facet of our development process.
