Job description

Why Harvey

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. With 1500+ customers in 60+ countries, 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’s Legal Engineers are former practicing lawyers who bridge customers, sales, and product to support all aspects of our sales strategy and product development. As trusted advisors to the lawyers they work with, they lead sharp discovery and tailored product demonstrations, translating real legal work into Harvey solutions that provide clear value for lawyers.

This Corporate-focused Legal Engineer role is designed for attorneys with transactional experience in capital markets, private equity, M&A, finance, banking, fund formation, EC/VC, real estate or other general corporate practices who are excited about the future of AI in legal services. As strategic partners to legal teams, Legal Engineers thrive in ambiguity and help lawyers do higher-quality work faster and with more confidence using Harvey.

What You'll Do

• Work directly with corporate lawyers at current and prospective customers to uncover workflow pain points, recommend solutions, and demonstrate how Harvey fits into real legal work.
• Serve as the voice of the customer, translating feedback and legal workflow insights from corporate practitioners into concrete, lawyer-ready product direction.
• Partner closely with product, engineering, sales, and marketing teams to shape Harvey’s roadmap and ensure the product evolves in ways legal teams trust and adopt.
• Build and refine product demonstrations, workflows, and use cases that reflect how corporate legal teams actually work, including how AI is transforming those workflows.
• Introduce new capabilities in a way that is tailored, credible, and compelling for each customer, continuously raising the bar for how Harvey is deployed across corporate legal practices.

What You Have

You move confidently through uncertainty, you operate at speed, and ship solutions that work—iterating quickly with lawyers, sales teams, and product partners to help Harvey and its customers win. You bring deep curiosity about AI's potential to transform legal work, a bias toward action, and the creativity to solve problems nobody's cracked yet.

• JD or equivalent legal qualification.
• At least 3 years of experience in a transactional practice such as M&A, private equity, capital markets, finance, fund formation, banking, EC/VC, real estate or related practice areas at a top-tier law firm or sophisticated in-house legal team.
• Strong understanding of the workflows, challenges, and demands faced by corporate lawyers.
• Executive presence and relationship-building skills, with the ability to establish credibility with legal professionals at all levels.
• Outstanding communication and presentation skills, whether leading a live product demo, facilitating a workshop, or engaging in strategic customer conversations.
• Curiosity about AI and its potential to transform legal practice.
• A practical, solutions-oriented mindset and enthusiasm for working directly with customers.
• Experience in client-facing roles, law firm business development, transaction management, or cross-functional collaboration is a plus.
