Job description

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 building AI-native software for professional services. Our customers trust us with some of the world's most sensitive information, making security fundamental to everything we build. As a leader on our Product Security team, you'll help embed security into our engineering organization, enabling teams to build quickly and securely as we scale.

Reporting to the Senior Director of Product Security, you'll help shape our product security roadmap and lead a team of engineers in delivering it. Your team will own defined areas of Harvey's production surface, working closely with product and platform engineers to shape architecture, influence design decisions, and build security tooling. You'll combine people leadership with sound technical judgment to protect our customers and make secure development easier across Harvey.

What You'll Do

You'll partner directly with our Senior Director of Product Security to translate the broader security strategy into focused priorities and measurable outcomes for your team. You'll hire, develop, and lead Product Security Engineers, establishing clear ownership and helping them become trusted partners to their engineering counterparts. Working closely with Engineering, Product, Infrastructure, and Security, you'll align security investments with business priorities and the technical realities of our platform.

Day to day, you'll own your team's planning, prioritization, and delivery. You'll provide technical direction on architecture reviews, threat modeling, and remediation, helping engineers navigate complex security tradeoffs. You'll scale the team's impact through automation, developer tooling, and secure-by-default patterns, while using what your team learns to improve our security standards and engineering practices. You'll communicate risks and progress to engineering leaders, build alignment on priorities, and hold the team accountable for meaningful improvements to Harvey's security.
