Staff Security Software Engineer, IAM at Harvey · LumiJobs

Responsibilities

As a Staff Software Engineer on the Security Engineering team, you will be a founding member of the team and define and drive the technical strategy for identity and access at Harvey — both how customers authenticate to Harvey, as well as how internal employees, contractors, and non-human identities access company systems, what they are authorized to do, and how seamlessly access adapts as needs change.
Challenges ahead include exploring how AI-powered access management can understand employee needs, recommend appropriate permissions, streamline decisions, and adapt access as roles and responsibilities evolve, as well as shaping an end user/agent authentication experience that makes signing in to Harvey fast, consistent, reliable, and secure across every surface where our customers work.
Define Harvey's multi-year technical strategy for identity, authentication, authorization, and privileged access.
Design and build complex identity systems from greenfield — writing the code, instrumenting it, and owning it in production.
Lead the architecture and execution of cross-functional initiatives to right-size access at scale, spanning identity and authentication, permissions and authorization, entitlement modeling, and access controls.
Extend the identity model to non-human and agentic identities, so that AI agents acting on behalf of users are authenticated, scoped, and auditable.
Serve as the technical authority for identity and access architecture and guide major design reviews, investment decisions, and long-term roadmaps.
10+ years experience building and operating production software, with demonstrated impact across multiple teams or technical domains.
Deep expertise in several identity and access engineering domains — authentication, federation, authorization, entitlement modeling, or privileged access.
Fluency with AI: you use AI-assisted development tools effectively while applying strong engineering judgment, and you design agentic workflows that automate repetitive toil and improve how teams operate.
Experience designing identity or authorization platforms, libraries, or abstractions used by other engineering teams.
Experience delivering foundational systems that achieve meaningful adoption and improve organizational or customer outcomes.
