Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
This AI Automation Engineer role sits at a point where many SaaS companies are investing: operationalising generative AI beyond the core product and into the customer lifecycle. By embedding automation inside Customer Education, the work connects platform capability with adoption outcomes, using AI agents, publishing pipelines, and learning tooling as production systems rather than one-off experiments. The scale implied by a global customer base makes this a practical case study in how SaaS organisations industrialise knowledge delivery.
For a long-term SaaS career, the role builds leverage in a cross-functional domain that frequently shapes retention and expansion. Owning integrations across an LMS and CMS, plus reliability and governance considerations, develops the kind of systems thinking that transfers to enablement platforms, support automation, and internal tooling teams. Experience translating non-technical education strategy into deployable workflows is also a durable advantage in SaaS environments where GTM and product operations increasingly converge.
This position will suit someone who prefers end-to-end ownership and is comfortable making tradeoffs between speed, quality control, and maintainability in customer-facing systems. It is a strong match for engineers who enjoy applying LLM APIs to real workflows, collaborating closely with content and operations partners, and measuring success through improved delivery rather than feature count alone.

Job Description
Why Harvey
At Harvey, we’re transforming how legal and professional services operate. 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 1500+ customers in 60+ 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 moves fast, takes ownership, and is deeply committed to the mission — operating with intensity, staying close to our customers, and pushing each other for excellence. We live by three values: Decisiveness, Simplicity, and Job's Not Finished. We act quickly on clear judgment over perfect information, we believe simplicity is what scales, and we're never satisfied with where we are. If you want to do the best work of your career alongside people who share that drive, we'd love to build with you.
At Harvey, the future of professional services is being written today — and we’re just getting started.
Role Overview
Harvey's Customer Education team is defining what best-in-class AI education looks like for legal professionals, and we're building the technical infrastructure to make that possible at scale. We are looking for an AI Automation Engineer to own the systems behind Harvey Academy and the help center, from AI agents and automation pipelines to video content and beyond.
You will partner directly with the Customer Education Strategist Lead, content specialists, and cross-functional teams to translate educational strategy into production-grade technical solutions. This is a high-autonomy role with direct ownership of systems that shape the customer experience at a category-defining legal AI company.
This is a rare opportunity to be the technical mind embedded within a high-performing, strategy-driven team. You'll be the person who looks at a manual, time-intensive content operation and replaces it with something smarter, faster, and scalable.
AI-powered content generation, automated publishing pipelines, and personalized learning at scale are challenges the industry is still figuring out. The solutions you build will directly determine how quickly Harvey's customers become experts on the platform. If you're an engineer who wants outsized influence, a short path from idea to impact, and the chance to help define what generative AI education looks like, this is that role.
What You'll Do
Build and maintain AI agents using LLM APIs (Anthropic Claude, OpenAI) to automate content creation, review, and publishing workflows across Harvey Academy and the help center.
Own and optimize the learning technology stack, including Skilljar and Sanity CMS integrations, ensuring reliability, extensibility, and seamless content publishing.
Identify and eliminate bottlenecks in content operations by building automation where it doesn't exist yet.
Partner with Product, User Operations, and GTM to identify opportunities for systems improvement and AI-driven innovation across the customer education ecosystem.
Use technical expertise to explore implementation of interactive learning components based on instructional design direction from team members.
What You Have
5+ years of experience in software engineering or automation engineering, with demonstrated experience designing and building API integrations
Proficiency with modern web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and React or similar), ideally in a fast-paced or high-growth environment.
Hands-on experience building AI agents, LLM-powered workflows, including prompt engineering and API integrations with platforms like Anthropic Claude or OpenAI.
Track record of supporting production systems end-to-end, ideally including LMS platforms, CMS tools, or similar content delivery infrastructure.
Strong ability to operate autonomously, translating business needs into well-architected technical solutions with minimal oversight.
Excellent communication skills with the ability to collaborate closely with non-technical teammates and explain technical tradeoffs clearly.
Comfort working in documentation-heavy or content-ops environments
Nice to Have
Familiarity with content governance or audit systems, including automated review triggers and freshness logic
Experience building and operating AI video generation pipelines, using tools like ElevenLabs or equivalent, to produce scalable video content.
Experience coding interactive elements within LMS platforms
Compensation
$123,600 - $185,400
