At Harvey, we're transforming how legal and professional services operate. This is a rare chance to help build a generational company at a true inflection point. The work is ambitious, the bar is high, and the opportunity for growth — personal, professional, and financial — is unmatched.

At Harvey, the future of professional services is being written today — and we're just getting started.

Harvey is building the infrastructure foundation behind one of the most ambitious AI product companies in the world. Our Core Infrastructure team powers every user interaction across Harvey's legal AI platform, which already processes billions of prompt tokens and millions of daily requests for leading law firms, enterprises, and other high-stakes customers.

We are looking for an Engineering Manager to lead Core Infrastructure from Bengaluru as we scale the platform, the team, and the next generation of Harvey products. This is a high-leverage role for a builder-leader who can grow robust engineers, drive technical execution, and raise the bar on reliability, performance, security, and developer velocity.

This is not a pure operations role. Core Infrastructure at Harvey is responsible for building new systems as well as hardening existing ones, with an emphasis on architecture, scale, and long-term platform leverage rather than reactive firefighting alone.

New product surfaces ship rapidly, and India engineering is expected to play a foundational role in shaping the architecture, culture, and roadmap of Harvey's next decade.

Core Backend Infrastructure exists to 'deliver core infrastructure that powers our products and teams,' and its current mission is operational excellence at scale. The team serves two critical user groups:



external customers who need Harvey to be as reliable as the tools it replaces, and internal product engineering teams who need infrastructure they can build on without firefighting.

The systems this team owns are directly tied to Harvey's next wave of growth, including agent infrastructure, database resilience, site reliability, vector search, job execution, regional data residency, and multi-cloud scale.

Own delivery for core infrastructure investments spanning cloud infrastructure, observability, container orchestration, reliability, and platform foundations.

Partner closely with Product Engineering, Security, and adjacent platform teams so infrastructure accelerates product delivery instead of constraining it.

Guide technical strategy across multi-cloud infrastructure, including Azure- and GCP-based systems, Kubernetes orchestration, networking, container management, and infrastructure as code.

Help the organization scale safely by improving system design quality, hardening critical paths, and pushing durable solutions to reliability bottlenecks before they become customer-facing failures.

Hardening the Agent Platform so product teams can ship AI agent experiences with resource isolation, authenticated sandbox access, and resilient execution.

Improving database resilience and recovery so incidents are mitigated quickly and the main database never becomes the bottleneck during critical events.





Building a multi-region, enterprise-grade platform that meets strict data residency, security, and uptime expectations for global customers.

12+ years of hands-on backend infrastructure or platform engineering experience in production environments

- 5+ years of engineering management experience.
- Deep technical strength across cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, networking, observability, CI/CD, and infrastructure-as-code tooling such as Terraform or Pulumi.
- A track record of designing and scaling reliable distributed systems, with strong judgment around performance, fault tolerance, and operational tradeoffs.
- Experience leading complex cross-functional initiatives and translating ambiguous platform needs into clear execution plans and measurable outcomes.
- Strong people leadership: hiring well, coaching engineers, creating accountability, and building a healthy, high-performing team culture.
- Experience with AI/ML infrastructure, high-throughput inference systems, or model platform reliability.

Experience operating multi-tenant, security-sensitive platforms for enterprise or regulated customers.

GCP or AWS experience also transfers well.

Experience supporting global, follow-the-sun operations or building teams across regions.
