Youll move from prototype to deployment quickly surface patterns from the field and feed them back into Harveys platform and product roadmap. Youll start from openended highleverage problems design and implement endtoend solutions with real users and data and ship to production under tight feedback loops.

Design prototype productionize custom workflows : customize knowledge sources and retrieval pipelines tool use / agents prompts and guardrails; then harden them for reliability observability and scale.

Integrate workflows with clients systems (DMS KM ticketing identity / SSO) and data sources; standing up secure connectors to the rest of the Harvey platform.

How you will make a 10x Impact

High Beta : You understand that volatility is the normal course of action and you embrace it. You assume failure is the most likely outcome so you fail fast and learn. You are transparent about failure and you actively try to kill your own ideas by tackling the hardest problems first. You dont subscribe to sunk costs.

Unreasonable hospitality : You practice unreasonable hospitality grounding your technical work in a deep obsession with the customer. You will spend as much time understanding the why from users as you do building the what ensuring our bets are aimed at solving real meaningful problems.

Action action and still more action : You live by a relentless bias for action. You believe progress is measured by what you build and learn not what you discuss in meetings. You prioritize shipping and getting real-world feedback over perfecting a plan on paper.

Contrarian with common sense : You constantly think about whats missing not whats working well today. You feel uncomfortable when an idea becomes consensus. But you match ambitious ideas with pragmatic execution. You find the most straightforward path to de-risk a complex concept focusing on proving value quickly rather than over-engineering a solution.

What You Have

5 years building and operating production software with meaningful 01 ownership and the ability to operate under ambiguity.

Experience building LLMpowered applications (retrieval tools / agents structured outputs prompt / runtime safety) and taking them to production.

Comfort working directly with customersfrom scoping ambiguous problems to shipping integrating training and iterating on adoption.

Practical experience with evals (designing task suites pipelines and dashboards that reflect user quality); you use evals to drive model / product decisions.

Clear concise communication; lowego collaboration; appetite for inperson pairing with teammates and customers in NYC.
