Senior Software Engineer, Data Platform
Harvey · San Francisco
About this role
## Senior Software Engineer, Data Platform ### 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 scaling fast, defining a new category in real time, and building a generational company at a true inflection point. We move quickly, take ownership, and stay close to customers—guided by three values: **Decisiveness, Simplicity, and Job’s Not Finished**. ### Role Overview Harvey is generating far more data than we currently know how to use well (product telemetry, agent execution traces, model usage, customer engagement, and financial/operational systems). As one of the first hires on our **central data platform team**, you’ll build the systems that let every team work with data confidently and independently. This is a **platform charter**, not a pipeline queue. You’ll create the frameworks, tooling, and paved paths that product engineers, data engineers, and analysts build on—measured by their **leverage** and the **trust** they place in our data systems. **Near-term foundation** includes: - Reliable **streaming and batch ingestion** into **Snowflake** - **CDC** off production systems - **Orchestration** and **schema evolution** that absorbs upstream change - Handling hard **data sensitivity** requirements As the charter expands, you’ll also help deliver: - Transformation and compute frameworks - Self-serve tooling so teams can stand up pipelines using well-tested primitives - Real-time/stream processing for products and internal systems - Quality, lineage, and governance layers PII handling and multi-region data residency are **constraints by construction**, not optional features. You’ll sit between **Analytics, Data Engineering, product teams, and Infrastructure**. Today this work is distributed and improvised—you’ll make it a system, set technical direction, and help build the team around you. ### Location - **San Francisco, CA** or **New York, NY** ### What You’ll Do - Own the data platform’s architecture and technical direction - Treat data infrastructure as a software product built from reusable frameworks - Make deliberate build-vs-buy tradeoffs as the platform grows - Build and operate the ingestion layer across **streaming, batch, and CDC**
