Role

Some of the word’s largest companies and their law firms use Harvey to make sense of their legal documents and automate legal work. Our customers depend on us to deliver a secure, trustworthy, and compliant platform. Earning the trust of our customers is a business enabler and we value it more than anything else.

You will report to our Head of Security and take ownership of securing our infrastructure at Harvey. As an early member of our Security team, you will help lay the foundations of the security and privacy of our products. Your focus will be the security of our main application as well as producing repeatable patterns and guardrails for one-off research environments and special projects so that our research and engineering teams can move fast and not break things.

Our security program at Harvey is driven by our collective offensive security experience: Breaking into systems at other companies (in white-hat capacities), responding to real security incidents, and learning from other companies’ data breaches. We conduct regular pentests and red team exercises with external security firms.

Qualifications

• In-depth knowledge of Kubernetes, common misconfigurations, and privilege escalation vectors

• Demonstrated ability to find weaknesses (e.g. privilege escalation) in real-world cloud environments

• Experience applying security best practices in cloud environments (AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud)

• Strong networking and operating systems fundamentals

• Software development experience

• No experience with generative AI or legal is required

Experience

• 4+ years experience in security or operations / SRE roles
