About the role

Harvey is building AI-native software for professional services. Our customers trust us with highly sensitive information and critical business workflows, making security fundamental to everything we build. We’re looking for a Director of Detection and Response to build and lead the team that identifies threats, responds decisively to incidents, and turns what we learn into stronger defenses. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • The ability to turn business risk into a focused strategy and deliver it through influence and partnership. You balance urgent response with long-term engineering work and build a demanding, supportive environment where people can do their best work
  • Experience protecting enterprise SaaS, sensitive customer data, or AI/ML environments is especially valuable, as is experience investigating insider threats, partnering on privileged-access governance, or leading response under regulatory and public scrutiny
  • At Harvey, you’ll shape how an AI company detects and responds to threats as its products and customers evolve. Your team’s work will directly protect customer trust and help make security a durable foundation for the business
More about this role

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.

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...
