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

As a Staff Software Engineer, Frontend at Harvey, you will own and lead engineering projects that define the user experience of our different products: Assistant, Vault, Workflows, and Harvey in Microsoft Word and Outlook.

Everything we touch is polished to high standards extending to all aspects of our work – from design to architecture to code to slack communication.

• Build polished, high-performance React + TypeScript interfaces using TailwindCSS, with crisp interactions, resilient state management, and strong error handling.

• Architect reusable components and patterns and evolve our internal design system.

• Optimize frontend performance at scale.

• Collaborate tightly with design and backend/infrastructure to shape APIs and UX for long-running jobs, streaming results, and tool-calling workflows.

• Raise the bar on frontend reliability and security UX for enterprise and regulated environments.

What You Have

• Experience with React, Typescript, and CSS (we use TailwindCSS)

• Track record of building fast-growing SaaS products by leveraging PWA technologies
