Function OverviewHarvey's Legal Engineering team is composed of former practicing attorneys who work to bring value to Harvey's prospects and customers. Legal Engineers lead discovery, demos, trainings, and onboarding alongside our AEs and CSMs. They translate real legal work into Harvey solutions, serving as the trust layer across the entire customer lifecycle, from the first pilot to the most complex, custom-built workflow.
At Harvey, we segment the Legal Engineering function into three teams: Legal Engineers (Pre-Sales), Legal Engineers, Product Specialists (Post-Sales), and Legal Engineers, Custom Solutions (Pre- and Post-Sales). Legal Engineers across all three subgroups understand how lawyers think and work, and use that expertise to design, build, and refine solutions that hold up under live in-practice pressure. In doing so, they don't just drive adoption; they shape Harvey's product roadmap, ensuring every release is grounded in what the legal profession needs. It's a team built to power Harvey as the platform lawyers can trust with their most important work.
You may be asked to travel around 2-3+ times per month. Travel is always for a significant business need and typically is for 1-3 days at a time.
What You'll DoLegal Engineer (Pre-Sales)Legal Engineers are lawyers who left practice to help build the future of legal work. Working closely with Account Executives, they engage with many of the world's leading law firms and legal teams throughout the pre-sales process. They lead collaborative pilot programs, guide prospects through what's possible with AI, and work alongside lawyers to understand their workflows, build tailored solutions, and demonstrate meaningful value in real legal use cases. Along the way, they bring prospect feedback back into the product, helping shape the future of Harvey.
Legal Engineer, Product Specialist (Post-Sales)LEPS take over once a prospect becomes a customer. LEPS build trusted relationships with many of the world's leading legal teams by learning their workflows and showing them how to weave Harvey into daily practice. The LEPS role spans the entire customer journey, from leading onboarding and enablement, to sitting down with a full practice group to build agents on real matters. Along the way, the LEPS translates legal practice needs into actionable feedback for product and engineering, contributes to customer-facing content across practice areas, and upholds Harvey's credibility as the leading AI platform for lawyers.
Legal Engineer, Custom Solutions (Pre-Sale and Post-Sale)LECS are a specialist group that work on complex no-code custom Harvey in-app solutions. LECS meet with group heads, general counsel, and other senior stakeholders to learn how key processes run today. Drawing on their legal expertise, they use natural language prompting to design bespoke resources, including agents, playbooks, and other tools, that improve the quality, speed, and experience of that process. The build is collaborative. The LECS scope it with the customer, prototype against sample documents, and refine it alongside their team. Most LECS work happens post-sale, but the team also supports strategic accounts pre-sale on an advisory basis. LECS concentrates narrowly on designing tools that automate a specific process, and on building relationships with the senior leaders who own it.
