Responsibilities
The Software Engineer, New Grad joins Harvey's Engineering team, working alongside experienced engineers to build the AI-powered systems that serve the world's leading law firms and enterprises. The team's mission is to deliver secure, intuitive, and high-performance application-layer experiences that turn frontier AI capabilities into real customer value. This role offers an accelerated path to ownership, contributing production code to features spanning retrieval, document intelligence, and workflow automation from day one. It is an opportunity to develop rapidly at the intersection of AI and professional services, with direct exposure to how engineers shape a category-defining product.
We're currently hiring new grads to start in 2027 across multiple teams and roles, including Frontend, Backend, Full-Stack, Infrastructure, and Applied AI roles. Your interests & experience will be factored into our team matching process, where you’ll have the opportunity to learn about teams across Harvey including Agents, Applied AI, Assistant, Enterprise, Infrastructure, Mobile, Vault and many others.
Design, implement, and ship production-level code across the stack while maintaining high quality, reliability, and security standards. You'll use AI-assisted development tools daily, and you’ll own the quality of everything you ship—AI-generated or not.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams including AI Research, Legal Engineering, Product, and Design to translate problem statements into compelling product experiences.
Collaborate with your team through code reviews, technical design discussions, and engineering best-practice development alongside senior and staff engineers.
Experiment with and evaluate cutting-edge LLMs and AI systems, contributing to how Harvey's platform evolves.
Depending on your team, you could work on retrieval over large document collections, interfaces for collaborating with AI systems, multi-region compute infrastructure, enterprise agents, or secure systems for sensitive client data.
Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field, graduated either in Winter 2026 - Spring 2027.
Able to work from our New York or San Francisco office starting in January 2027 and beyond, based on your graduation schedule. Relocation support is available.
Previous internship experience is required.
Technical foundation. Strong proficiency in one or more languages (Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, Java, Go, or similar) and solid general computer science knowledge.
Decisiveness. You have a bias toward action. You've built something start to finish in coursework, a personal project, or a past internship, and you know the difference between a decision you should make yourself and one worth getting feedback on. You'd rather move and correct course than stall.
