Original job description

Why Harvey

At Harvey, we’re transforming how legal and professional services operate - not incrementally, but end-to-end. 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 1000+ 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 is sharp, motivated, and deeply committed to the mission. We move fast, operate with intensity, and take real ownership of the problems we tackle - from early thinking to long-term outcomes. We stay close to our customers - from leadership to engineers - and work together to solve real problems with urgency and care. If you thrive in ambiguity, push for excellence, and want to help shape the future of work alongside others who raise the bar, we invite you to build with us.

At Harvey, the future of professional services is being written today - and we’re just getting started.

Role Overview

As a Staff Backend Software Engineer at Harvey, you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping the foundation of our product platform while directly building user-facing features for some of the world’s leading law firms and enterprise customers. This team owns and operates the platform layer that enables secure, reliable, and flexible experiences for our customers including notifications, permissions and feature flag infrastructure. We also build enterprise-grade collaboration experiences for law firms.

You will design and own systems that not only serve as critical infrastructure for the rest of the company, but also directly impact how our users engage with Harvey’s AI-powered legal tools. This role is ideal for engineers who are excited by the opportunity to move between deep platform thinking and hands-on product iteration.

This role is based in Toronto, Canada. We use an in-person work model and offer relocation assistance to new employees.

What You’ll Do

Design and build foundational backend infrastructure including authentication, permissions, feature flagging, notifications, and document management integrations
Build and evolve Harvey’s internal product platform, accelerating development across multiple product lines and engineering teams
Lead development of enterprise-facing features, such as secure multi-party collaboration, cross-organization workflows, and robust admin controls
Maintain high standards for security, privacy, and system reliability, particularly in handling sensitive legal data
Collaborate cross-functionally with product, AI, design, and GTM teams to deliver delightful, enterprise-ready experiences

What You Have

5+ years (post-BS/MS) of backend-focused software engineering experience on platform and/or product-oriented teams
Experience working across the stack to ship user-facing features with measurable impact
Strong knowledge of distributed systems, REST/gRPC APIs, databases, and scalable service architectures
Familiarity with or interest in enterprise SaaS patterns, such as role-based access control (RBAC), feature flag systems, and third-party integrations
Track record of shipping highly intuitive products, strong attention to detail
Experience building backend platforms that can support multiple product lines
Strong programming skills and general Computer Science knowledge

What We Offer

Be part of building something special as a founding member of our Toronto team
Structured hybrid working arrangement: 3 days in our Toronto office, 2 days working from home

Location: Toronto, Ontario (Hybrid with flexibility)
Work eligibility: Must have valid Canadian work rights; Harvey does not currently offer visa sponsorship for this role
