AI in this role
Build and own compliance data infrastructure, automation tooling, and AI-powered workflows for automated evidence collection and control testing.
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. We have 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 OverviewSome of the world's largest companies and their law firms use Harvey's AI capabilities to deliver world-class client services at unprecedented scale and efficiency.

You'll build and own the data infrastructure, automation tooling, and AI-powered workflows that allow our Trust team to scale audit readiness, continuous monitoring, and risk reporting without scaling headcount. This means selecting best-in-class compliance automation platforms, building our own compliance data layer, and developing AI-powered workflows to automate evidence collection, control testing, and assurance reporting.
