Compliance Engineer

Location: New York Workplace: Hybrid WHY HARVEY At Harvey, we’re transforming how legal and professional services operate. 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. We have 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 moves fast, takes ownership, and is deeply committed to the mission — operating with intensity, staying close to our customers, and pushing each other for excellence. We live by three values: Decisiveness, Simplicity, and Job's Not Finished. We act quickly on clear judgment over perfect information, we believe simplicity is what scales, and we're never satisfied with where we are. If you want to do the best work of your career alongside people who share that drive, we'd love to build with you. At Harvey, the future of professional services is being written today — and we’re just getting started. ROLE OVERVIEW Harvey's Compliance Engineering team is the compliance professionals counterpart to our Legal Engineering team: compliance professionals who bring real compliance and risk management experience to Harvey's prospects and customers. Compliance Engineers understand how compliance teams think and work, and they use that expertise to design, build, and refine solutions that hold up under live, in-practice pressure. They also shape Harvey’s product roadmap, so every release is grounded in what compliance teams need. They serve as the subject matter layer across the entire customer lifecycle, from the first pilot to the most complex, custom-built workflow. This Compliance Engineer will be the founding member of this team, working directly with the leader of Legal Engineering to define the role and, as the function grows, build it out. You may be asked to travel around 2-3+ times per month. Travel is always for a significant business need and typically is for 1-3 days at a time. WHAT YOU'LL DO Compliance Engineers are compliance professionals who want to help build the future of how compliance work gets done. Working closely with Account Executives and Customer Success Managers, you will engage with compliance, risk, and regulatory teams across the customer lifecycle, from the first conversation to a complex workflow and ongoing use. You will: - Partner with Account Executives to lead discovery to understand how compliance processes run today and where the time and risk sit. - Demonstrate Harvey on real compliance use cases and run collaborative pilots that show meaningful value. - Train compliance teams and help them configure and build agents and workflows they can put into practice. - Bring customer and prospect feedback back to Product and Engineering to help shape the roadmap. - Help define the Compliance Engineer role and build the playbook, including demo assets, use cases, and engagement models. - As the function grows, help hire and develop the team. The scope of this role is intentionally open. You will help shape it. WHAT YOU HAVE - Experience as a compliance practitioner in-house, at a regulated company, in consulting or advisory, or advising a sophisticated compliance team. - Strong understanding of the workflows, challenges, and demands of compliance teams, including balancing regulatory risk with business priorities. - Comfort with technology and operations, and a builder’s instinct for turning a repeated manual process into something repeatable. - A commercial mindset, with the ability to understand customer value and make the case for change. - Executive presence and relationship-building skills, with the ability to establish credibility with compliance leaders and business stakeholders at all levels. - Outstanding communication and presentation skills. You’re comfortable leading a live demo, facilitating a workshop, or engaging in strategic customer conversations. - Deep curiosity about AI’s potential to transform compliance work, paired with a practical, solutions-oriented mindset and bias toward action. - Comfort with ambiguity and excitement about helping define a new role and function. - Experience at a technology or SaaS company, sales or customer-facing experience (solutions consulting, pre-sales, advisory), and/or hands-on experience using AI tools in compliance work are all pluses.
