Attorney, Evaluation Operations (Contract)

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 Before a model, feature, or workflow reaches Harvey customers, lawyers evaluate and grade its output. The Evaluation Operations function orchestrates this process, partnering closely with Harvey's Legal Product Architect team as they scope and answer relevant research questions informing key product decisions. You will be one of those lawyers. As a Contract Attorney, you will have the unique opportunity to work with Harvey's pre-release environments and test features before they ship, often on tight timelines. The work is not client-facing and involves no representation, court appearances, or business development. What You'll Do Compare different AI-generated outputs for the same legal task (e.g., a memo, a contract redline, a research answer) and evaluate output quality against a written rubric. Test new product features end-to-end in a pre-release environment and provide qualitative feedback based on your legal experience. Review and assess grading rubrics for accuracy and completion. Build evaluation datasets that include realistic legal queries, contract markups, and/or synthetic legal documents. Most projects run between 2 and 20 hours over multiple days. Some require feedback within 24-48 hours of the request. You may decline any project.
