Role Overview

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Security Engineering team at Harvey youll build and operate the foundational security services every other engineer at Harvey depends on: identity and access management secrets and privileged access and the tooling that makes the secure path the fast path. Youll design these systems write the code run them in production and own the results. Agentic systems make this harder than it is at a typical SaaS company: when an AI agent acts on a users behalf against their most sensitive documents identity and authorization stop being solved problems.

Security at Harvey is an engineering discipline not a gatekeeper function. We build platforms and libraries that make it hard for engineers to get security wrong and we measure ourselves on adoption and outcomes rather than tickets filed. Our program is informed by risk: we invest where the actual exposure to our customers data is greatest rather than where a framework tells us to.
