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. With 1500+ customers in 60+ countries, strong product‑market fit, and world‑class investor support, we’re scaling fast and defining a new category in real time.

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. If you want to do the best work of your career alongside people who share that drive, we’d love to build with you.

As a Staff Design Systems Designer, you will define the foundations that make Harvey’s 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. We're looking for someone who brings a strong brand sensibility to this work — a designer who thinks in systems but leads with craft.

• Define and evolve the core design system foundations, including components, patterns, and tokens that scale across complex, AI‑powered experiences — with a sharp eye for brand cohesion and visual quality
• Design, prototype, and ship production‑ready system components in tight collaboration with frontend engineering
• Bring a brand lens to system decisions, ensuring the product feels considered and distinctive, not just consistent
• Establish clear contribution, governance, and deprecation models that balance velocity with system integrity
• Embed accessibility, responsiveness, and performance into the system by default
• Document system usage and best practices in a way that is clear, practical, and trusted by product teams
• Advocate for system adoption and consistency in product planning, design reviews, and execution
• Anticipate future product and platform needs, evolving the system proactively as Harvey scales

• 8+ years of experience in product design, with significant ownership of design systems in complex product environments — ideally with a background in brand or visual design
• A portfolio that demonstrates not just system‑level thinking, but a strong point of view on craft, quality, and visual cohesion
• Deep understanding of component architecture, design tokens, and how design systems scale across teams
• Proven experience partnering closely with frontend engineers to ship high‑quality, production systems
• Strong working knowledge of accessibility standards and inclusive design practices
• Ability to clearly articulate system decisions and tradeoffs to designers, engineers, and cross‑functional partners
• Comfort operating in ambiguous problem spaces and bringing structure where it doesn’t yet exist

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.
