Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
Infrastructure security is a differentiator in modern SaaS, especially for enterprise platforms handling sensitive customer data. This role sits at the intersection of cloud architecture and product delivery, with a clear focus on building secure-by-default infrastructure and tenant isolation patterns that are foundational to multi-tenant SaaS. The emphasis on least privilege, attack surface reduction, and Kubernetes security reflects the practical realities of operating a platform used by large organizations.
For a SaaS career, the work offers durable leverage: translating security principles into repeatable engineering frameworks that unblock product teams without compromising controls. Experience with infrastructure as code ownership, security-critical configuration review, and cloud environment auditing maps directly to how high-trust SaaS companies scale reliability and compliance. The stated use of penetration tests and red team exercises also signals exposure to security programs that iterate through real findings rather than policy alone.
This position fits engineers who prefer building systems and guardrails over one-off assessments, and who enjoy partnering with product engineering to embed security into delivery pipelines. It suits someone comfortable owning critical configuration surfaces and thinking in terms of platform primitives, particularly in Kubernetes and major cloud environments.

Job Description
Why Harvey
At Harvey, we’re transforming how legal and professional services operate — not incrementally, but end-to-end. By combining frontier agentic AI, an enterprise-grade platform, and deep domain expertise, we’re reshaping how critical knowledge work gets done for decades to come.
This is a rare chance to help build a generational company at a true inflection point. With 1000+ 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. We stay close to our customers — from leadership to engineers — and work together to solve real problems with urgency and care. If you thrive in ambiguity, push for excellence, and want to help shape the future of work alongside others who raise the bar, we invite you to build with us.
At Harvey, the future of professional services is being written today — and we’re just getting started.
Role Overview
Some of the world's largest companies and their law firms use Harvey’s AI capabilities to deliver world-class client services at unprecedented scale and efficiency. Harvey allows high-performing professionals to gain deep domain knowledge faster, understand the big picture, and tackle more complex challenges in less time.
Security is at the heart of what we do. Our customers trust us with their most sensitive data, and we take that responsibility seriously. As part of our team, you’ll help us maintain a secure, trustworthy, and compliant platform—an essential foundation for everything we build.
As an Infrastructure Security Engineer, you’ll design and build secure-by-default infrastructure that product teams can rely on. 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
