About the role

Founding member of the Security Engineering team focused on defining and driving Harvey's identity and access strategy for customers, employees, contractors, and non-human identities, with emphasis on AI-powered access management and seamless, secure authentication across surfaces.

Responsibilities

  • 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.

Qualifications

  • 10+ years experience building and operating production software, with demonstrated impact across multiple teams or technical domains.
  • Deep expertise in authentication, federation, authorization, entitlement modeling, or privileged access.
  • Fluency with AI: using AI-assisted development tools effectively while applying strong engineering judgment, and designing agentic workflows to automate repetitive toil.
  • 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.
  • Experience with cloud infrastructure (Azure, Google Cloud Platform, or AWS) and modern distributed-system patterns.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to create alignment across technical and non-technical stakeholders.
