About The Position

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Product Security team at Harvey, you'll be a key technical contributor shaping how security is built into our AI platform. We store and process our customers’ most sensitive data, and as a result, security is paramount at every stage of our product lifecycle. You'll own the security of critical product areas, conduct deep vulnerability research and code review, and partner closely with engineering teams to raise the security bar in the areas you work in (both for humans and agents). You’ll implement both technical controls and security features within the Harvey platform.
Our security program is driven by our collective offensive security experience: breaking into systems at other companies (in white-hat capacities), responding to real security incidents, and learning from other companies’ data breaches. We regularly conduct penetration tests and red team exercises with external security firms. At the same time, we are all software engineers - contributing code daily and approaching security with an engineering-first mindset.
