With 700+ customers in 58+ countries, strong product-market fit, and world-class investor support, we're scaling fast and defining a new category in real time. The work is ambitious, the bar is high, and the opportunity for growth - personal, professional, and financial - is unmatched. Our team is sharp, motivated, and deeply committed to the mission. We move fast, operate with intensity, and take real ownership of the problems we tackle - from early thinking to long-term outcomes.

This includes designing and implementing processes and technologies for least privilege, isolating different components, managing attack surface, and implementing layers of tenant isolation on our multi‑tenant SaaS offering. You'll also create frameworks and repeatable patterns that enable our research and engineering teams to move quickly and independently-without sacrificing security. Our security program at Harvey 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. At the same time, we are all software engineers-contributing code daily and approaching security with an engineering‑first mindset. What You'll Do Incorporate secure design principles into our cloud architecture. Develop isolation mechanisms (e.g. sandboxing) in collaboration with our product engineering team Review security‑critical configuration changes and act as Codeowner for security‑critical parts of our cloud configurations (everything is IaC) Audit our existing cloud environment for vulnerabilities Develop policies and procedures for the secure creation and operation of our cloud environments What You Have 5+ years experience in Security Engineering, Software Engineering, or Site Reliability Engineering roles Demonstrated experience writing high‑quality software and building production‑grade infrastructure and raising the quality bar of engineering teams Strong fundamentals in networking, operating systems, and cryptographic protocols In‑depth knowledge of Kubernetes, common misconfigurations, and privilege escalation vectors Demonstrated ability to find weaknesses (e.g. privilege escalation) in real‑world cloud environments Experience applying security best practices in cloud environments (AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud) (No experience with generative AI or legal required) Bonus Familiarity with large‑scale Infrastructure as Code (IaC) deployments Familiarity with Kubernetes Admission Controllers and policy enforcement Exposure to multi‑cloud environments Compensation Range $201,000 - $260,000 USD Please find our CA applicant privacy notice here. #LI-KV1 Harvey is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate on the basis of race, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, national origin, disability, age, genetic information, veteran status, marital status, pregnancy or related condition, or any other basis protected by law.
