Why Harvey

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.

Why Infra, why now

Harvey is used by thousands of legal and professional services teams around the world. For that work, accuracy, security and uptime are the product. As we grow into new markets, customer segments and deployment models, our infrastructure has to scale faster than the business. That means:

• Global, multi-region systems that meet strict data residency and latency requirements for customers in the US, EU and beyond

• Enterprise- and government-grade security and compliance, including customer-controlled deployments

• Model and AI infrastructure that keeps frontier models fast, reliable and cost-efficient in production

• Platform foundations (databases, compute, observability, developer tooling) that let every Harvey engineering team ship faster

The engineers who build this are some of the hardest people in tech to hire. We need a recruiter who understands this market well and can help us build a top Infrastructure org.

Role overview

You'll be a dedicated recruiting partner for Harvey's Infrastructure and Platform organization, covering Core Infrastructure, Model Infrastructure, Database Infrastructure, Backend Platform. This is a full-cycle role where you'll own the process from market mapping and sourcing through closing, working with engineering leaders to hire engineers and managers from Mid-level to Staff.

What you'll do

• Partner with Infra and Platform leaders to turn roadmap priorities into a clear hiring plan: which roles, which profiles, in what order

• Build and maintain pipelines across infra specialties: distributed systems, cloud (AWS/Azure), Kubernetes, databases/Postgres, SRE and reliability, ML/model serving, and security

• Map talent at the companies that have solved infra at scale (hyperscalers, AI labs, and high-growth infra and data companies) and run targeted outreach to passive senior and Staff+ engineers

• Advise hiring managers on the infra talent market, including comp, competing offers, level calibration, and what these candidates look for in their next role

• Run a high-signal, candidate-first process for technical loops (system design, deep dives, on-call and reliability scenarios), and keep interviewers calibrated and moving quickly

• Close competitive candidates by telling a clear story about Harvey's infra problems, their scope, and why they matter

• Keep Ashby clean and use pipeline data (conversion, time in stage, source quality) to change course when something isn't working

• Improve how we hire infra talent: interview plans, sourcing playbooks, referral programs, and events

What you have

• 3–5 years of full-cycle technical recruiting, including meaningful time hiring infrastructure, platform, SRE, or platform engineers

• Experience in a high-growth startup or scale-up where speed and quality both mattered

• A track record of hiring senior and Staff-level engineers, including passive candidates you sourced yourself

• Enough technical fluency to have credible conversations about infra work: you can tell a platform engineer from an SRE, and a database specialist from a distributed systems generalist, and you can pitch each one's problems at Harvey

• Strong relationships with hiring managers, who treat you as a partner rather than an order-taker

• Comfort with data. You use metrics to diagnose problems and influence decisions

• You follow the infra and AI talent market: which companies are growing, which are shrinking, and where top engineers want to go next

• Low ego and high ownership. You'll roll up your sleeves to get the team built

• Nice to have: experience recruiting for AI/ML infrastructure or model serving teams, security or compliance-heavy environments, or distributed engineering teams across multiple locations.
