Staff Software Engineer, Backend Platform at Harvey

This role is for a seasoned engineer with at least seven years of experience who has a deep background in building internal developer platforms or foundational backend systems. You should be highly proficient in Python and comfortable designing the frameworks and shared libraries that other product teams will rely on to build AI-native applications. **What makes it worth a look...** The compensation is exceptionally high for a mid-to-senior level role, topping out at $290,000. You'll be joining a high-growth AI startup with massive market traction, giving you the chance to define the "paved road" for how engineers build agentic AI tools at scale. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have built high-performance backend frameworks using Python, FastAPI, or Flask. * Enjoy abstracting complex problems like authorization and event processing into internal libraries. * Have hands-on experience managing distributed systems with Redis, Kafka, and SQL databases. * Prefer working on "developer experience" and infrastructure rather than shipping end-user product features.
