Design Systems, Product Designer
Harness
fulltime
Design, Art/Creative, and Information Technology
Harness is the AI Software Delivery Platform company, led by technologist and entrepreneur Jyoti Bansal (founder of AppDynamics, acquired by Cisco for $3.7B). Harness has raised approximately $570M in funding and is valued at $5.5B, backed by leading investors including Goldman Sachs, Menlo Ventures, IVP, Unusual Ventures, Citi Ventures, and more. As AI accelerates code creation, the real bottleneck has shifted to everything after the code – testing, deployments, application security, reliability, compliance, and cost optimization. Harness brings AI and automation to this “outer loop,” helping teams ship software faster while maintaining security and governance throughout the entire software delivery lifecycle.
Powered by Harness AI and the Software Delivery Knowledge Graph, the Harness Platform applies deep context and intelligent automation across the software delivery lifecycle with governance and policy-driven controls embedded throughout the platform.
Over the past year, Harness powered over 185M deployments, 82M builds, 18T flag evaluations, 8M security scans, 9.1B optimized tests, 3T protected API calls, and helped manage $2.8B in cloud spend — enabling customers like United Airlines, Morningstar, and Choice Hotels to accelerate releases by up to 75%, reduce cloud costs by up to 60%, and achieve 10x DevOps efficiency.
With a global team across 14 offices and 25 countries, Harness is shaping the future of AI software delivery — and we’re looking for exceptional talent to help us move even faster.
Position Summary As part of our Harness 3.0 evolution, we are rethinking the visual and technical foundation of the Harness product experience. We are hiring a Design Systems Designer to help shape that next chapter.
This role sits at the intersection of product design and engineering. You will design and evolve the system that powers consistency, quality, and speed across our platform. That includes component libraries, token architecture, theming, interaction patterns, and the guidance that helps product teams build with more confidence and less friction.
This is an especially exciting moment to join. Harness 3.0 is raising the bar on visual quality, modernizing our design language, and strengthening the design to code workflows that will power the next generation of the product.
We are looking for someone with strong UI visual craft, high attention to detail, and a real interest in how systems come to life in code. This is not a maintenance role. We need a designer who can create polished, production ready UI, think systematically, and work comfortably in a token based, code integrated workflow.

Why this role matters
Our design system is tightly connected to how we build product. Tokens flow from Figma through Token Studio and into production CSS and JS. That means we need a designer who can do more than create clean UI.
We need someone who understands how to design within a system, how to make components that translate cleanly into code, and how to raise quality while working inside real implementation constraints.
This role will help us scale a more cohesive, modern, and production ready product experience across Harness.
