# Software Engineer, AI Platform
**Company:** [Harvey](https://hotfix.jobs/companies/harvey)
**Location:** San Francisco, CA
**Salary:** $185K-$325K
**Experience:** 5+ years
**Skills:** AI/ML, Backend Systems, Model Routing, Agent Infrastructure, Context Management, Evaluation Frameworks, SDKs, Python, Kubernetes, Distributed Systems
**Posted:** 2026-03-12
> Builds AI platform infrastructure including model integration, agent systems, context management, and evaluation tooling for legal AI products. Requires 5+ years backend experience with 1+ year AI/ML focus, production multi-model systems, and strong abstraction design skills.
## Job Description
## 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 products rely on.
- **Model Integration & Routing.** Own the infrastructure that lets Harvey onboard new foundation models fast and route to the right one for every task - a capability every product team depends on.
- **Evaluation Infrastructure.** Build the shared eval tooling and frameworks that let every team across Harvey measure and improve AI quality systematically.
- **Shared Abstractions.** Create the SDKs, platform primitives, and developer tooling that make it dramatically easier for product teams to ship AI-powered features.

## What You’ll Do
- Design and build abstractions and platform-level systems that improve all of Harvey’s agentic products.
- Own infrastructure for model integration, routing, and evaluation that helps Harvey choose and deploy the right foundation model for any given context.
- Build evaluation frameworks and tooling that let every team across Harvey iterate on AI quality effectively.
- Partner closely with product engineering teams, PMs, and design to launch cutting-edge AI products.
- Evaluate, prototype, and integrate the latest advancements in AI and agentic systems as they emerge.

## What You Have
- 5+ years of experience building backend systems, with at least 1+ year focused on AI/ML engineering. Staff candidates will typically have 8+ years and a track record of technical leadership across teams.
- Experience building and shipping multi-model or multi-provider AI systems in production.
- Familiarity with context management, session state, or memory systems in AI or distributed systems. You’ve thought about what the model sees and why it matters.
- A track record of building internal platforms, SDKs, or shared infrastructure that other engineering teams actually adopted - and an understanding of why developer experience matters as much as raw capability.
- Strong judgment about abstractions. Opinionated about good design but pragmatic about shipping incrementally.
- Excitement about agentic AI and the infrastructure challenges of making autonomous systems reliable when the stakes are real.
- A bias toward full ownership: you navigate ambiguity well and don’t wait for a roadmap to start solving problems.

**Bonus:** experience building evaluation frameworks, working with agent/function-calling architectures, familiarity with legal or other high-stakes professional services domains, or time at early-stage or hyper-growth startups where the underlying technology changes regularly.
