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

We are looking for a legal researcher with a strong understanding of how law firms, financial institutions, large corporations, and other organizations deliver professional services and execute complex legal and knowledge work tasks. We have incredible product-market fit and demand across diverse customer profiles. Executing on this demand requires a strong understanding of our customers' workflows and how those workflows can be accelerated by AI systems.

What You'll Do

To facilitate the development of these systems, you will:

  • Develop and deliver subject-matter expertise to support AI research

  • Work closely with our engineering, product, and design teams to define and develop AI systems

  • Build and improve AI systems through prompt engineering, fine tuning, and other techniques

  • Build proprietary benchmarks and datasets to evaluate models and model systems

  • Partner directly with clients to understand their workflows, identify pain points, and translate complex business and legal requirements into technical solutions

What You Have

  • JD or equivalent post-graduate qualification

  • 3-7 years of experience at a law firm, financial institution, or equivalent professional service provider

  • Demonstrated ability to deliver high quality work product on demanding deadlines

  • Ability to effectively communicate with a variety internal and external stakeholders and translate complex problems effectively between them

  • Ability to define positive outcomes in situations with underspecified success criteria

  • Deep intellectual curiosity and eagerness to learn across domains

  • Willingness and desire to do work in the trenches - e.g., grading hundreds of answers, breaking down thousands of documents - getting the models to do junior associate work requires a lot of things that look like junior associate work

Compensation Range

$180,000 - $220,000 USD
