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 58+ 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’re looking for a leader who will build our Frontend Platform team from the ground up, playing both the hands-on tech architect and people-leader. You’ll define the vision for shared front-end infrastructure (components, tooling, performance, developer experience) and lead a centralized team of front-end engineers that’s building out those foundational component whilst supporting product teams.

WHAT YOU’LL DO:

• Define and own the roadmap for the front-end platform: component library, design system, shared utilities, tooling, and build/deploy pipelines.

• Build, hire, and lead a small but growing team of front-end engineers: mentor, set culture, performance-manage and enable team growth.

• Serve as a hands-on technical lead: architect, design, implement key platform features, and review/shape team outputs.

• Partner with product engineering, design/UX, backend and infrastructure teams to ensure the platform delivers high-quality, consistent, performant front-end experiences.

• Establish metrics, best practices, and frameworks for front-end development across the org: developer productivity, component reuse, performance, maintainability, and reliability.

WHAT YOU HAVE:

• Strong front-end engineering experience, including building or leading shared front-end systems, libraries or platform infrastructure.

• Experience as a technical lead or manager with hands-on delivery + team leadership.

• Strong technical skills with modern front-end stacks (e.g., React + TypeScript, component architecture, state management, performance optimisations).

• Demonstrated experience building or evolving a design system / component library used across multiple teams.

• Excellent collaboration, communication and influencing skills — you can build consensus, partner across functions, and drive engineering strategy.

NICE-TO-HAVE

• Experience with front-end performance instrumentation, feature-flagging at scale, micro-front-ends or multi-tenant front-end architectures.

• Managed or built a shared engineering pool or center of excellence model for front-end engineers.

• Experience in a fast-growing SaaS environment where you scaled teams, infrastructure or processes.

• Familiarity with enterprise/regulated environments, security or compliance in front-end contexts.

• Open-source contributions or public talks/blogs in the front-end architecture or platform space.
