Harvey is a secure AI platform for legal and professional services that augments productivity and automates complex workflows. Harvey uses algorithms with reasoning-adept LLMs that have been customized and developed by our expert team of lawyers, engineers and research scientists. We’ve found product market fit and are scaling our team very quickly. Some reasons to join Harvey are:

• Exceptional product market fit: We have partnered with the largest law firms and professional service providers in the world, including Paul Weiss, A&O Shearman, Ashurst, O'Melveny & Myers, PwC, KKR, and many others.

• Partnerships: Our engineers and researchers work directly with OpenAI to build the future of generative AI and redefine professional services.

• Performance: 4x ARR in 2024.

• Competitive compensation.

We are looking for a legal researcher with a strong understanding of how large firms and other organizations deliver professional services and execute complex legal and knowledge work tasks. We have incredible product-market fit & demand across diverse customer profiles. Executing on this demand requires a strong understanding of our customer’s workflows and how those workflows can be accelerated by AI systems.

To facilitate the development of these systems, you will:

• Develop and deliver subject-matter expertise to support AI research

• Work closely with our Machine Learning Research team to define and develop AI systems

• Prompt engineer and fine-tune large language models

• Build proprietary benchmarks and datasets to evaluate models and model systems

• Tackle unsolved AI problems to solve complex professional service tasks

• 3-7 years of experience at a large law firm or equivalent professional service provider

• Demonstrated ability to deliver high quality work product on demanding deadlines

• Ability to effectively communicate with a variety internal stakeholders and translate complex problems effectively between them

• Ability to define positive outcomes in situations with underspecified success criteria

• Willingness and desire to do work in the trenches — e.g., grading hundreds of answers, breaking down thousands of documents — getting the models to do junior associate work requires a lot of things that look like junior associate work
