Staff Corporate Security Engineer

Harvey•New York, NY

9h•$220,000 - $330,000

About The Position

This role joins Harvey's corporate security function, which secures the company's IT and business systems as Harvey grows rapidly, balancing risk with user experience while validating every assumption through threat modeling and real-world testing rather than relying on best practice alone. It is a strong fit for someone at the intersection of security engineering and enterprise systems- someone who understands how data flows between SaaS applications, can pinpoint where security breaks down in complex integrations, and knows how to build controls that scale. Experience with eDiscovery workflows and legal holds is a meaningful differentiator given the nature of Harvey's customer base.

Requirements

Demonstrated experience securing enterprise SaaS environments, including integration security, API token management, OAuth governance, and cross-application data flow risk — with working knowledge of authentication/authorization standards (SAML, OIDC, SCIM, X.509) and the ability to debug real-world integration failures.
Experience building or managing eDiscovery and legal hold programs, including data preservation workflows, custodian management, and coordination with Legal and outside counsel.
Strong software engineering fundamentals with proficiency in Python and/or Go, including building integrations against SaaS APIs (not just configuring through consoles), and experience with infrastructure-as-code tooling such as Terraform and/or Pulumi for managing security configurations in a repeatable, auditable way.
Ability to identify risks and vulnerabilities in IT and business systems and communicate that risk clearly to stakeholders across engineering, legal, and executive audiences.
Familiarity with endpoint security for macOS and Windows environments, and experience with tools such as Okta, Google Workspace, Salesforce, Workday, NetSuite, Microsoft Entra/Azure/Intune, JAMF, Tines, or similar platforms.
4+ years of experience in security engineering, corporate engineering, IT, or a related program management function with a security focus.

Nice To Haves

Familiarity with tools such as Purview, Vault, Relativity, Everlaw, or similar platforms.
Genuine curiosity about generative AI or the legal industry.

Responsibilities

Design, implement, and govern security controls for cross-application data flows, API integrations, OAuth connections, and third-party SaaS platforms.
Own the security review lifecycle for new integrations and automate posture monitoring to catch drift early.
Continue to build and operate Harvey's legal hold infrastructure, including data preservation, collection workflows, and custodian management.
Partner with Legal and Compliance to meet litigation readiness requirements across our collaboration and productivity stack.
Provide security oversight across the SaaS application lifecycle — vendor onboarding assessments, ongoing configuration review, and decommissioning.
Support endpoint security policies and vulnerability management, ensuring endpoint telemetry feeds into detection and response workflows.
Develop scripts and integrations that extend visibility across corporate systems, partnering with the Detection & Response team to surface signals from SaaS and business applications.
