Harvey
About this role
Harvey builds agentic AI for legal and professional services, and this is the product backend seat. The work is turning AI capability into product that enterprise and government customers can rely on: secure multi tenant services, permissions aware systems with proper auditing, and backend features that orchestrate calls to LLMs and agentic tools from well structured services. Data sits in Postgres and related stores, tuned for low latency. The posting is honest that this is fast moving product work rather than research: you work closely with product to prioritise customer facing features and ship them quickly. At 5 or more years of backend experience it is a mid to senior bar. Apply if you have built production web or SaaS backends and want to work on LLM orchestration without leaving normal backend engineering behind.
Who this is for

Location and office reality:

Honest fit guidance:
- You do not need prior LLM experience. The requirement is backend depth, and the AI orchestration is something you learn on the job.
