Job description

Technical Program Manager, Developer Platform

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. 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.

Lead horizontal reliability initiatives focused on improving test coverage, observability, and incident response readiness.

Define, measure, and report on reliability metrics (e.g. change failure rate, MTTR, SLI), and drive accountability for sustained improvement.

Identify systemic gaps in release processes, testing, monitoring, and incident response; convert findings into structured improvement plans with clear owners and timelines.

Drive rapid triage and resolution of customer-reported issues in partnership with Product and User Operations, ensuring timely followup and continuous improvements.

Own and improve the incident management lifecycle: Facilitate rigorous post-incident reviews, ensuring root causes are identified and corrective and preventative actions are tracked to completion..

Oversee vendor reliability and SLA compliance, including performance monitoring, incident escalation, and periodic business reviews.

What You Have

5+ years of experience in technical program management or release management, ideally within SaaS or fast-moving tech companies

Prior Experience working as Software QA or Test Engineer, preferably with SaaS products.

A track record of building systems and processes that scale with growth.

Comfort in ambiguity and eagerness to build structure where there is none.

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related technical field.
