Role Overview

Harvey has found a massive product-market fit within the legal space, and we are significantly expanding the scale and capabilities of our offering as we grow. Many use cases in legal involve asking questions or extracting information from a collection of documents (either in-house documents, client documents, or publicly available data), so ingesting & processing documents for use in our AI systems is a critical component of our product. As we work with the biggest firms on their most complex projects, we envision building systems that seamlessly store, index, and process hundreds of millions of documents, and retrieve the right information in a fraction of a second.

In this role, you will lead and support a talented team of software engineers to improve the scale and capabilities of our existing systems, as well as build new systems as needed. This team will build at the boundary of what is possible in document understanding and incorporate new advancements in OCR, semantic chunking, and vector storage.  The ideal candidate for this role will be a self-starter who has experience leading teams and managing engineers, but is also not afraid to roll up their sleeves and get their hands dirty to unblock the team in whichever way is needed.

What You’ll Do

Help grow the broader Engineering and Tech org through recruiting and shaping our culture.

Attract, recruit, and retain a strong team of software engineers.

Foster a culture of engineering excellence, paired with innovation and calculated risk-taking.

Develop and execute on a long-term roadmap to extend the scalability and capabilities of our document processing systems.

What You Have

At least 2+ years of experience in a software engineering management role, leading teams operating in technically complex domains.

Proven track record of building highly engaged and high-performing engineering teams

5+ years of experience as a software engineer working on and operating large-scale backend systems in a cloud environment.

A plus : Direct experience working on document ingestion and processing pipelines or search systems, such as Elasticsearch or vector databases.
