Nice to have: Vercel platform experience; marketing/GTM systems integration (HubSpot, Salesforce, Segment, analytics); SEO and web performance engineering; prior experience as the first or most senior engineer on a web platform team. ## Description The Staff Web Developer joins Harvey's Web team as the senior technical leader for the architecture, data foundations, and systems integration behind harvey.ai and every web-facing surface. The team's mission is to make Harvey's web presence evolve at the velocity of the product itself - reliable, observable, and fast enough that Marketing and GTM can ship without waiting on engineering. This role owns the technical strategy for that platform: the Next.js and Sanity architecture, the integration layer connecting the website to Harvey's marketing, analytics, and GTM systems, and the automation and testing practices the team currently lacks. You will be the most senior engineer on a small, front-end-leaning team, setting standards and mentoring as much as building. You partner directly with Harvey's product engineering, security, and infrastructure organizations to make sure the web platform meets the same bar as the rest of the company. It is a rare opportunity to build foundational systems from scratch at one of the fastest-growing AI companies, with unusually direct line of sight from your work to the company's growth., * Design and build the data foundations and integration patterns that connect the website to Harvey's marketing, analytics, CRM, and GTM systems, supporting both real-time and batch workloads. * Establish automation, CI/CD, preview/deploy tooling, and robust automated testing where little exists today, reducing operational toil and increasing team velocity. * Set observability standards - structured logging, tracing, Core Web Vitals and performance budgets, alerting - so the team can catch and resolve issues before Marketing does. * Lead how the team applies AI and ML to web workflows, from content operations to personalization to internal tooling, and act as the bridge between product engineering and web engineering. * Partner with Security and Infrastructure to harden the platform without slowing developer experience. * Provide technical leadership and mentorship to a small, front-end-focused team through code review, design review, and architectural guidance. ## Related Videos - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) - [Integrate your Cognitive Assistant with 3rd-party DBs and software](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/249-integrate-your-cognitive-assistant-with-3rd-party-dbs-and-software) - [Leveraging Real time data in FSIs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/806-leveraging-real-time-data-in-fsis) - [Web development best practices in 2021](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/280-web-development-best-practices-in-2021) - [Meet Your New BFF: Backend to Frontend without the Duct Tape](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/682-meet-your-new-bff-backend-to-frontend-without-the-duct-tape) - [Nest.js - TypeScript in the backend can also be clean](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1033-nest-js-typescript-in-the-backend-can-also-be-clean) ## Related Articles - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Dev Digest 133 - Back to Front](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/474-dev-digest-133-back-to-front) - [Web Development Best Practices: What The Data Tells us](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/84-web-development-best-practices-what-the-data-tells-us) - [The Best Software Developer Blogs to Read](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/156-the-best-software-developer-blogs-to-read) - [Dev Digest 139 - Soft and hard queries](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/487-dev-digest-139-soft-and-hard-queries) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline)
