Full 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 Harvey is building a Forward Deployed Engineering program to deliver a white-glove, tailored experience for our most strategically important accounts. As Director of Forward Deployed Engineering, you will own that program end-to-end: building the team, defining the operating model, and ensuring Harvey's top accounts feel like Harvey works exclusively for them. This is a rare opportunity to sit at the intersection of engineering leadership, enterprise client strategy, and product influence. You'll lead a team of software engineers working directly with clients, while partnering closely with legal engineering, Sales, CS, and Product to shape what gets built and for whom. This is not a product function. The job’s primary goal
