Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
Harvey sits in a modern SaaS category where AI is being productised for enterprise knowledge work, with legal and professional services as the initial wedge. That context makes full stack engineering less about isolated features and more about building the platform capabilities that let multiple products ship safely in regulated environments, including permissions, notifications, and collaboration primitives.
For a SaaS career, this kind of role compounds well because it touches the hard parts that recur across successful subscription businesses: multi tenant access control, admin experiences, feature flagging, and reliability expectations set by enterprise buyers. Working across platform and user facing surfaces also develops judgement around product iteration versus infrastructure durability, a balance that translates across B2B SaaS companies as they scale usage and expand into larger accounts.
This position tends to suit engineers who like switching between deep systems thinking and polished end user delivery, and who prefer work where security and data handling are core constraints rather than afterthoughts. It also fits someone comfortable collaborating with product and go to market stakeholders while keeping engineering quality high in a hybrid setup.

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.
