Staff Software Engineer, Agents

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 As a Software Engineer, Agents, you'll build the systems that make our AI agents indispensable to legal professionals. You will design environments and actions for agentic professional work, make model selection decisions, manage context windows, create optimal tools, and develop evals that enable faster iteration loops to unlock new capabilities. We're looking for engineers and researchers who are immersed in the space, driven to ship impactful products, and are experienced in using practical evaluations to drive task completion quality and customer delight. What You'll Do Partner with customers and PMs to understand legal workflows, design practical evaluations that capture what “excellent” means, and ship agents that get the job done.

Our values — Just Get It Done, Invent What Customers Want, Winner’s Mindset, and The Polymath Principle — shape how we work and grow as a team. About the Team Product Engineering at Decagon builds all aspects of the platform our customers use to create, operate, and improve their AI agents. We turn work that currently requires an engineer into product that a CX team can run themselves. This team is core to how Decagon scales. The frameworks we build support every agent we have in production, each with its own workflows, data, and constraints. We build the agents too, and that’s what keeps the platform honest: a failure mode we debug in production becomes a guardrail, an eval, or a piece of tooling that catches it everywhere. Our agents run for companies like Hertz, American Airlines, and Notion across chat, voice, email, and SMS. About the Role You’ll design and build the systems that let customers configure, train, test, and monitor sophisticated AI agents with confidence. That means strong engineering underneath, and abstractions on top that hold up across different use cases without forking per customer. You’ll work day to day with prod

At Harvey, the future of professional services is being written today — and we’re just getting started. Role Overview Harvey’s products all depend on a shared AI foundation: the model layer and agent infrastructure that determine the quality of work our agents deliver. Legal is one of the hardest domains for AI: documents run to hundreds of pages, matters can span millions of files, and there is zero margin for error on accuracy. The AI Platform team builds the foundation that every product and agent team at Harvey builds upon. This team is early and there’s a lot to build: model routing, agent architecture, context management, evals. Your work here sets the ceiling for what Harvey’s AI can do. Representative Projects Context Engineering & Agent Infrastructure. Build the platform-level systems for context management, session state, and memory that all of Harvey’s agents and produc

About Anthropic Anthropic’s mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our users and for society as a whole. Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems. About the role We are looking for software engineers to help build safety and oversight mechanisms for our AI systems. As a software engineer on the Safeguards team, you will work to monitor models, prevent misuse, and ensure user well-being. This role will focus on building distributed and scalable systems to detect unwanted model behaviors and prevent disallowed use of models. You will apply your technical skills to uphold our principles of safety, transparency, and oversight while enforcing our terms of service and acceptable use policies. Responsibilities: Independently scope and lead complex, multi-month infrastructure projects, from an ambiguous starting point through to a production system Develop monitoring systems to detect unwanted behaviors from our API partners and potentially take automated enforcement actions; surface these in internal dashboards to analysts for manual review Stand up and run deployments of those monitoring systems across multiple clouds, including inside cloud-provider partner environments where data residency laws apply. Keep the deployments consistent through shared deployment pipelines, smoke tests, observability, and alerting Design and harden the sandboxed runtime that AI agents execute in: isolation, network egress controls, least-privilege data access, audit logging, and insider-risk controls Manage cost and capacity for large volumes of long-running agent work, and set and meet service-level objectives for the platform Partner with the engineers and researchers who write and evaluate the monitoring agents, and with security, privacy, and legal teams, so new detection work can ship quickly on a p
