Senior Security Engineer: IAM & Secrets Platform

Harvey; United States; On-site; USD 220,000 - 330,000; Full time

Job summary

Harvey is seeking a Senior Software Engineer for the Security Engineering team to design and operate foundational security services, including identity management and privilege access, across production systems.

You will own the identity infrastructure end-to-end, collaborate with engineers, and build secure-by-default libraries and tooling to reduce risk while shipping fast. This is a high-impact, generational opportunity.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of software engineering experience shipping and operating production services.
• Hands-on experience building security infrastructure (IAM, authn/authz, secrets management, or privileged access).
• Knowledge of common vulnerability classes and how systems fail under attack.
• Strong programming skills across the stack and willingness to work across unfamiliar domains.
• Experience with agentic coding tools (Claude Code, Codex, or similar) and leveraging them effectively.
• Experience with cloud infrastructure (Azure, AWS, or GCP) and modern distributed systems.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and operate Harvey’s core security services — authentication, authorization, access governance, secrets management, and privileged access — across workforce, infrastructure, and production environments.
• Own Harvey’s identity infrastructure end-to-end, including SSO, SCIM, and fine-grained authorization for enterprise customers.
• Build secure-by-default libraries, paved-road abstractions, and self-service tooling so engineers can identify and remediate security issues quickly.
• Take these systems from greenfield to production-grade: define the architecture, ship it, instrument it, and own reliability.
• Contribute to incident response and drive technical mitigations when security issues surface.
• Raise the security bar across engineering through design reviews, code reviews, and mentoring.
