Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
This SRE role stands out in SaaS because it sits at the operational core of an enterprise platform where reliability is part of the product promise. With a globally distributed footprint and a customer base already in production at scale, the work reflects the realities of modern SaaS delivery: multi-region infrastructure, measurable uptime expectations, and tight coupling between platform engineering and end-user experience.
For a long-term SaaS career, the remit maps to durable themes that recur across subscription software businesses. Building monitoring and incident response muscle, codifying infrastructure through IaC, and shaping safe deployment practices are skills that transfer across B2B platforms, especially as companies mature from shipping features to running resilient systems. The emphasis on automation and capacity planning also aligns with how SaaS teams reduce operational load while maintaining predictable service levels.
This position tends to fit engineers who prefer ownership over system outcomes and who enjoy turning ambiguous production issues into repeatable processes. It is also well suited to someone comfortable collaborating across product and security stakeholders, and who wants their technical decisions to influence reliability, cost discipline, and customer trust in a live SaaS environment.
The section above is editorial commentary from The SaaS Jobs, provided to help SaaS professionals understand the role in a broader industry context.
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.

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.
