Role
Who you are
- This 12 or 16 week internship is ideal for students who are curious, motivated, and excited to learn how modern application-layer and GenAI products are built
- Currently enrolled in a Bachelor's or Master's program in computer science, engineering, or a related field with a graduation date of December 2027 or later
- Able to work from our New York or San Francisco offices during our summer cohort, based on your academic schedule. Relocation support is available
- Previous internship experience is required
- Technical foundation. Strong proficiency in one or more languages (Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, Java, Go, or similar) and solid general computer science knowledge
- Decisiveness. You have a bias toward action. You've built something start to finish in coursework, a personal project, or in a past internship, and you know the difference between a decision you should make yourself and one worth getting feedback on. You'd rather move and correct course than stall
- Simplicity. You can explain a complex technical idea in plain language, whether or not the person you're explaining it to is an engineer. You look for the simplest solution that works, and you know when added complexity is worth it
- Job's Not Finished. You aren't satisfied when something merely works. You proactively seek out feedback, act on it, and keep pushing after the assignment is technically complete. Internship experience specifically at an early-stage startup is a plus
- AI Forward. Comfortable using AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) and curious about building LLMs into your own coding workflow
What the job involves
- As a Software Engineer, Intern (Summer 2027) on the Engineering team at Harvey, you’ll work alongside experienced engineers on projects that power our AI products. You’ll collaborate with our Product, AI, Legal, and GTM teams to help build secure, intuitive systems that deliver real value to our customers
- You’ll gain hands-on experience across the stack, contribute to real features, and see how your work impacts users in production
- We're currently hiring Winter 2027 interns in Toronto and Summer 2027 interns in New York and San Francisco across multiple teams and roles, including Frontend, Backend, Full-Stack, Infrastructure, and Applied AI intern roles. Your interests & experience will be factored into our team matching process, where you’ll have the opportunity to learn about teams across Harvey including Agents, Applied AI, Assistant, Enterprise, Infrastructure, Mobile, Vault and many others
- Own a project end-to-end from coding and testing to deploying it to production, and presenting your work to peers and leaders across the company
- Write clean, maintainable code that meets our team's standards. You'll use AI-assisted development tools daily, and you’ll own the quality of everything you ship—AI-generated or not
- Build real knowledge of the systems you support and the users they serve, bringing that perspective into product discussions
- Debug problems in your area, follow escalation procedures, and treat quality as urgent. Our users are lawyers doing high-stakes work
- Collaborate with your team through code review, pair programming, design reviews and technical documentation
- Depending on your team, you could work on retrieval over large document collections, interfaces for collaborating with AI systems, multi-region compute infrastructure, enterprise agents, or secure systems for sensitive client data. You'll also evaluate frontier models alongside senior engineers
Application process
- Deadline to Apply: October 25, 2026 at 7:00 AM UTC
- Our interview process includes AI-assisted coding sessions; you'll be expected to work with AI tools the way you would on the job
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.
