Overview

Harvey is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join its central data platform team. This role involves building systems that enable teams at Harvey to work with data confidently and independently.

• Build and operate ingestion layer across streaming, batch, CDC, and third-party connectors.
• Land data into Snowflake and define a clean handoff for Analytics Engineering.
• Manage the orchestration platform — scheduling, retries, backfills, and dependency management.
• Build transformation and compute frameworks for data processing at scale and self-serve tooling for product engineers and analysts.
• Design and operate stream processing infrastructure for real-time product features and operational alerting.
• Build quality, observability, lineage, cataloging, and discovery layers for data trust.
• Establish patterns and tooling for PII and sensitive data management and multi-region residency requirements.
• Set technical standards through design reviews, documentation, and mentorship.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience building and operating production data infrastructure.
• Deep experience with cloud data warehouses, preferably Snowflake.
• Hands-on experience with CDC and streaming pipelines using technologies like Kafka or Flink.
• Experience with managed ingestion tools (e.g., Fivetran, Airbyte) and workflow orchestration (e.g., Airflow).
• Strong programming skills in Python and advanced SQL.
• Familiarity with cloud data services (Azure, AWS, GCP), Kubernetes, and infrastructure-as-code.
• Knowledge of data governance in regulated environments.
