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

Harvey is building an in-house media production capability for our most critical internal shows, and this is the engineering role at the center of it. The Broadcast Engineer will own the technical foundation of how Harvey captures, routes, and delivers video and audio — the studio and control room infrastructure, the IP signal fabric connecting our spaces, and the live execution of the company’s highest-visibility events. Today that work is a mix of well-run events and vendor-dependent infrastructure; the opportunity is to replace it with systems we design, understand, and can scale. This person will split their time roughly evenly between running shows and building the platform those shows run on, partnering closely with Corporate IT, Workplace, Brand, and Communications. The right person is equally credible in a rack room designing a Dante domain and in a headset calling a hybrid all-hands with the CEO on camera.

What You'll Do
  • Design, build, and maintain Harvey’s video and audio infrastructure — studio spaces, control rooms, IP signal fabric, routing, recording, and streaming delivery — and own the standards, documentation, and configuration records behind it.

  • Architect and administer audio-over-IP and video-over-IP transport: Dante audio networks (clock hierarchy and PTP, multicast and IGMP behavior, QoS) and NDI video workflows (discovery, switch and VLAN design, bandwidth budgeting), in partnership with Corporate IT.

  • Own technical execution for Harvey’s highest-visibility productions — all-hands, executive broadcasts, customer events, launches, and recorded content — from engineering design and rehearsal through show call and post-event review, while raising day-to-day reliability across conference rooms and hybrid meetings.

  • Establish and maintain color and audio standards across the production chain: camera matching and shading, LUT and color pipeline management, monitor calibration, loudness normalization, and consistent delivery specs across live, recorded, and distributed output.

  • Diagnose and resolve complex signal-flow, network, sync, and device faults under live conditions, and convert each incident into a documented fix, a redundancy improvement, or a monitoring check.

  • Evaluate and integrate new production systems, and manage integrators, rental partners, and vendors through specification, commissioning, and acceptance testing.

What You Have
  • 7+ years of hands-on broadcast, live production, or high-end corporate production engineering experience, including ownership of permanent installations rather than only event-by-event work.

  • Deep, demonstrable command of video and audio signal flow — SDI and HDMI, embedding and de-embedding, sync and genlock, reference and timing, gain structure, and systematic fault isolation across a full chain.

  • Production experience with Dante audio networking and NDI video workflows, grounded in the networking fundamentals each actually depends on — clocking and PTP, multicast and IGMP, VLAN and switch design, QoS, and latency and bandwidth budgeting.

  • Working knowledge of color science as applied to production: color spaces and gamma, log formats, LUT creation and management, camera matching and shading, and monitor calibration for consistent output.

  • Proven ability to run technical execution for live, high-stakes events — rehearsal, show call, redundancy planning, and calm, structured incident response with an audience watching.

  • Strong documentation and communication skills: clear system drawings and signal-flow diagrams, runbooks another engineer can follow, and the ability to explain technical constraints to executives and presenters without jargon.

Bonus Points
  • Experience designing or commissioning a studio, control room, or broadcast facility from empty space through first show.

  • Depth with production switchers, digital audio consoles, DSP platforms (Q-SYS, Yamaha), intercom systems, and camera control/shading systems.

  • Zoom Room & Neatpad provisioning, operation and maintenance.

  • Streaming and distribution experience: encoding, transcoding, CDN delivery, SRT/RIST/RTMP transport, and multi-destination distribution.

  • Automation and monitoring skills — scripting, control-system programming, configuration management, or building instrumentation that catches failures before a show does.

  • Certifications such as Dante Certification Level 3, Q-SYS Level 1 or 2, AVIXA CTS/CTS-D/CTS-I, or relevant networking credentials.

  • Experience supporting a fast-growing, multi-office, globally distributed company.
