Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
Legal Engineer roles sit at a growing intersection in SaaS, where product adoption depends on translating complex, regulated workflows into repeatable, software-driven outcomes. Harvey’s focus on legal and professional services and its emphasis on an enterprise-grade AI platform signal a category where trust, credibility, and implementation detail matter as much as features. The Dallas location is also notable in SaaS terms because it is tied to an office expansion rather than a purely distributed footprint, which can shape how customer-facing work is executed.
From a SaaS career perspective, this position builds durable experience in pre-sales and product feedback loops, especially in domains where buyers expect consultative depth. The work naturally develops skill in turning real-world process pain into product narratives, shaping demos into scalable assets, and feeding structured insights back into roadmap conversations. Those patterns translate well across enterprise SaaS, particularly in vertical software and AI-enabled platforms.
This role best fits professionals who enjoy ambiguity at the boundary of product and go-to-market, and who prefer work grounded in customer conversations and practical workflows. It also suits practitioners who want to apply legal training in a technology context while staying close to how a platform evolves in response to adoption signals.

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
Harvey’s Legal Engineers are former practicing lawyers who bridge customers, sales, and product to support all aspects of our sales strategy and product development. As trusted advisors to the lawyers they work with, they lead sharp discovery and tailored product demonstrations, translating real legal work into Harvey solutions that provide clear value for lawyers.
As strategic partners to law firms and in-house teams, Legal Engineers thrive in ambiguity and help lawyers do higher-quality work faster and with more confidence using Harvey.
What You'll Do
Work directly with lawyers at current and prospective customers to uncover workflow pain points, recommend solutions, and show how Harvey fits into real legal work.
Serve as the voice of the customer, translating feedback and legal workflow insights into concrete, lawyer-ready product direction.
Partner closely with product, engineering, sales, and marketing to shape Harvey’s roadmap and ensure the product evolves in ways lawyers trust and adopt.
Build and refine product demonstrations, workflows, and use cases that reflect how legal teams actually work, including how AI is changing that work.
Introduce new capabilities in a way that’s tailored, credible, and compelling for each customer, continuously raising the bar for how Harvey is deployed.
What You'll Have
You move confidently through uncertainty, you operate at speed, and ship solutions that work—iterating quickly with lawyers, sales teams, and product partners to help Harvey and its customers win. You bring deep curiosity about AI's potential to transform legal work, a bias toward action, and the creativity to solve problems nobody's cracked yet.
JD or equivalent legal qualification.
At least 3 years of experience practicing law at a top-tier law firm and/or in-house with strong exposure to complex legal workflows and client expectations.
Demonstrated ability to exercise sound judgment and make confident, well-reasoned recommendations.
Ability to operate seamlessly across legal, product, and sales contexts—translating between stakeholders with clarity and precision.
Executive presence and relationship-building skills, with comfort engaging partners, senior associates, in-house counsel, and legal leadership.
Sales, customer-facing, or law firm business development experience is a plus, particularly where you’ve helped shape solutions rather than just present them.
