- Two (2) years of experience with each of the following skills is required:
- 1. Designing and operating complex, large-scale distributed systems in production, including service discovery, load balancing, high availability, and disaster recovery across multi-region or multi-availability-zone deployments
- 2. Implementing Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using tools such as Terraform or Pulumi, including authoring reusable modules, performing code reviews, and executing change management with drift detection and automated policy checks
- 3. Administering Kubernetes in production, including cluster provisioning and upgrades, workload orchestration and autoscaling, Helm-based packaging, and network policy configuration
- 4. Building internal automation and platform tooling using script programming languages such as Python, Bash or Rush, including developing command-line tools or services that interact with cloud and Kubernetes APIs and implementing automated tests
- 5. Configuring and operating observability stacks, including metrics, logs, and distributed tracing (e.g., Datadog, OpenTelemetry, Sentry), defining SLIs/SLOs, and creating actionable alerts integrated with incident response tooling (e.g., PagerDuty or Incident.io)

Our take
The explosive popularity of generative AI tools has seen specialized solutions popping up for all kinds of industries. Hoping to help supercharge efficiency and productivity for legal teams, Harvey supplies generative AI that can assist with documentation, as well as aid research and optimize workflows.
Via natural language instructions, Harvey helps draft and analyze legal documents. It can also answer complex questions across large document sets, or even handle research queries that cover multiple domains in legal, regulatory and tax.
Its ability to support legal practitioners as if it's another member of the team is what makes Harvey particularly interesting. This approach has seen the company raise substantial funding, reaching Unicorn status in 2024. Funds are now being used to expand to new geographies, grow headcount and further collect and curate data to train more “domain-specific” AI models.
