Role Overview

Our infrastructure is the foundation that powers every user interaction with Harvey. We’re looking for an Engineering Manager to lead our Core Infrastructure team — the group responsible for building reliable, scalable, and secure systems that support our legal AI platform globally. This role will own cloud infrastructure, observability, container orchestration, and core platform reliability. You’ll be guiding a team of high-agency engineers and partnering closely with security and product teams to ensure our infra is an accelerant, not a constraint.

At Harvey, we value Decisiveness, Simplicity, and the mindset that Job's Not Finished. We move fast, prioritize clarity, and are always striving for excellence. If this resonates with you, we'd love to hear from you.

What You’ll Do

• Lead and grow a team of engineers focused on infrastructure, networking, and platform reliability.
• Own cloud operations, scaling worldwide while ensuring high availability and performance.
• Drive key initiatives around observability, cost optimization, disaster recovery, and infrastructure security.
• Oversee infrastructure-as-code practices across the engineering org.
• Guide technical decision-making for container orchestration, service meshes, data infrastructure, and more.
• Hire, grow, and retain exceptional engineers who thrive in a high-trust, high-impact environment.
• Collaborate cross-functionally to align infrastructure work with product roadmap and company goals.
• Foster a culture of operational excellence, blameless incident response, and continuous improvement.

What You Have

• 2+ years of engineering management experience and 5+ years of hands-on infrastructure engineering.
• Deep expertise in cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure), Kubernetes, and infrastructure-as-code tooling (Terraform, Pulumi).
• Strong understanding of observability stacks (e.g. Datadog, Sentry) and incident response workflows.
• Experience with CI/CD, networking, and security principles at scale.
• A track record of designing and scaling systems with reliability and performance in mind.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with a bias toward clarity and action.
• A systems mindset and passion for simplifying complex infrastructure.
• A track record of leading complex cross-functional projects and delivering measurable impact.
