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

As a Product Designer on the Design Systems team at Harvey, you will support in defining the foundations that make our product coherent, scalable, and trustworthy as it grows in complexity. The design system is not just a library of components. It is the shared language between design, engineering, and AI that ensures consistency, quality, and confidence across every interaction.

This is an ideal role for someone who loves precision, consistency, and execution, operating as a hands-on builder and trusted partner to the Design Systems team. Working closely with product designers and frontend engineers, you will craft, maintain, and scale the components, patterns, documentation, and system assets that power Harvey's product, improving the quality, consistency, and speed with which teams build.

We're looking for someone who thrives in fast-moving environments, has exceptional attention to detail, and takes pride in producing thoughtful, polished work. As the Design Systems team continues to grow, you'll help shape not only the system itself, but also the processes, workflows, and ways of working that enable the team to scale successfully.

WHY DESIGN SYSTEMS MATTER AT HARVEY

Harvey is an AI-native product. As the system reasons, responds, and adapts in real time, the interface must remain consistent and legible. A strong design system ensures that complexity does not leak into the experience. It enables teams to move faster, reduces cognitive load for users, and builds trust in moments where clarity matters most.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Build, maintain, and evolve production-ready design system components, patterns, documentation, and reusable assets across Figma and emerging AI-native design workflows.
  • Partner with the Senior Design Systems Designer to scale Harvey's visual language and support the rollout of new system foundations across the product.
  • Collaborate with product designers and frontend engineers to ensure system components are intuitive to use, accurately implemented, and consistently adopted.
  • Own and create polished production assets, libraries, prototypes, and documentation that enable teams to build quickly and with confidence.
  • Support AI-assisted design workflows by preparing components, documentation, and system assets that are optimized for both designers and AI tools.
  • Maintain the quality and health of the design system through QA, organization, continuous refinement, and operational improvements.
  • Advocate for exceptional craftsmanship, consistency, and usability across every product surface.

WHAT YOU HAVE

  • 3–5 years of experience as a Product Designer, Production Designer, UI Designer, or Design Systems Designer working on digital products.
  • Exceptional visual craft with a meticulous eye for detail, layout, spacing, consistency, and production quality.
  • Exceptional organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple workstreams while maintaining a high quality bar.
  • Experience building and maintaining component libraries and design systems in Figma, including auto layout, variables, components, and variants.
  • Curiosity and experience in AI-assisted design tools and evolving implementation workflows, you don't need to be an engineer, but you're excited about where the discipline is heading.
  • Excellent collaboration and communication skills, with a desire to learn through close partnership with design and engineering.
  • Comfort working in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment and enthusiasm for helping shape an evolving Design Systems practice.
