About the role
- Design and build scalable, fault-tolerant infrastructure systems that power Harvey's AI platform across multiple cloud regions
- Own and evolve our multi-cloud infrastructure (Azure, GCP), including Kubernetes orchestration, networking, and container management
- Lead technical initiatives around observability, incident response, and operational excellence — building systems that enable rapid detection and resolution of issues
- Architect and optimize our distributed systems for reliability, including load balancing, quota management, and failover mechanisms
- Partner with Product Engineering and Security teams to ensure our infrastructure is an accelerant, not a constraint
- Drive infrastructure-as-code practices using tools like Terraform and Pulumi to enable reproducible, auditable deployments
- Mentor engineers and raise the technical bar across the organization through code reviews, design reviews, and technical leadership
Requirements
- 10+ years of experience in Infrastructure Engineering or Platform Engineering in a production environment

- Solid understanding of Kubernetes, container orchestration, networking, and cloud security at scale
- Experience with observability tools (Datadog, Sentry) and incident response practices (PagerDuty, Incident.io)
- Strong programming skills in Python, Go, or similar languages
- Excellent problem-solving skills, a "spidey sense" of where things could go wrong, and a commitment to operational excellence.
Benefits
- Comprehensive health, dental and vision coverage
- Retirement benefits (401k match up to 4%)
- Flexible PTO
