Harvey
About this role
This is the most senior engineering seat Harvey has open in India, on the product engineering team
that turns AI capability into things lawyers can actually rely on. You design and operate the backend
systems behind Harvey's products: secure multi-tenant services, orchestration of LLM and agentic tool
interactions, and the backend architecture for a product surface that is expanding quickly. The
languages are Python with a modern web framework, on relational databases. The framing is deliberately
product-close: you work with product to prioritise customer facing work and ship reliably in a fast
moving environment, so it is not a pure platform role. At 15 years it is the top of this edition's
range. Apply if you have built multi-tenant SaaS backends and want to do it where the AI layer is the
product rather than a feature.

Who this is for
Requirements. 15+ years of backend engineering experience building and operating production web
applications or SaaS products. Strong programming skills in Python and experience with a modern web
framework. Hands-on experience with relational databases.
What you would do. Work closely with product to prioritise customer focused work and deliver reliable
features quickly in a fast moving environment. Design and own backend services and APIs that power
Harvey's web applications, workflows and integrations. Model and manage data. Build secure,
multi-tenant services. Orchestrate interactions with LLMs and agentic tools. Help define the backend
architecture powering Harvey's rapidly expanding product surface. The posting says the work has
immediate business and customer impact as you ship the foundational systems behind the next generation
of Harvey's AI products.
⛔ Location, because the board is wrong about it. Harvey flags all of its India postings as remote on
its own job board. They are not. Harvey's India postings state Bengaluru in their bodies, and one
posting listed on the board under Bengaluru says in its body that the role is based in San Francisco.
We publish the location from the body every time. This is a Bengaluru role.
Eligibility. Harvey states that you must be authorised to work in India and that visa sponsorship is
not available.
Company context. Harvey builds agentic AI for legal and professional services, combining an
enterprise platform with domain expertise. It describes itself as scaling fast with strong product
market fit, and is direct about the culture: it names decisiveness and intensity, and says the bar is
high. Take that as information rather than marketing when you weigh the role.
Who this is for. A backend engineer with fifteen or more years who wants to be close to the product
rather than deep in infrastructure. Python and multi-tenant SaaS are the core requirements. If you
want the infrastructure side instead, Harvey has a separate core infrastructure seat at 10+ years,
also in this edition.
