Job Description
Design Systems Designer at Harness designing high quality UI components and ensuring consistency across the platform. Working alongside engineering teams in a collaborative environment.
Responsibilities:
- Design and evolve high quality components, patterns, and foundations for our design system
- Build scalable component libraries in Figma using strong auto layout, variants, properties, and responsive structure
- Work in a token based environment, helping define and apply primitives, semantic tokens, and component level tokens
- Partner closely with engineers to ensure components translate cleanly from design to React implementation
- Contribute to multi theme system design across a complex platform
- Raise the quality bar for visual design, accessibility, consistency, and production readiness across the product
- Define system guidance, usage rules, and best practices that help teams adopt the system correctly
- Support the evolution of our design to code workflow using AI assisted tools across Figma, tokens, and implementation pipeline
Requirements:
- Strong visual design fundamentals, including typography, spacing, hierarchy, color, and composition
- Sharp attention to detail across component states, interaction patterns, and visual consistency
- Experience designing polished, production ready enterprise UI
- Strong understanding of accessibility, including color contrast, focus states, and WCAG standards
- Ability to balance visual quality with the constraints and structure of a system
- Strong Figma proficiency, especially with auto layout, nesting, constraints, responsive components, variants, and properties
- Experience building and maintaining component libraries in Figma
- Strong understanding of how component properties in design map to props in code
- Clear understanding of the difference between Figma Variables and design tokens
- Hands on experience with Tokens Studio for Figma is required
- Experience working directly with design tokens in JSON and translating them into Figma Variables is also valuable
- Strong grasp of atomic design principles and scalable system architecture
- Experience with token based design systems, including primitive, semantic, and component token layers
- Understanding of how tokens flow from design into code
- Ability to think across themes, modes, and scalable system logic
- Interest in deepening systems thinking and growing in a more technical design systems environment
- Comfortable reading React component structure and discussing implementation details with engineers
- Basic understanding of CSS and utility class patterns, ideally in a Tailwind based environment
- Ability to work closely with engineering on component behavior, states, and design system adoption
- Experience with Style Dictionary or token transformation pipelines is a nice to have
- Familiarity with AI assisted design workflows is a nice to have
- Exposure to design to code automation workflows, including Figma API, MCP servers, or similar tooling is a nice to have
- Experience working on production design systems with code connected token pipelines is a nice to have.

- Competitive salary
- Comprehensive healthcare benefits
- Flexible Spending Account (FSA)
- Flexible work schedule
- Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
- Flexible Time Off and Parental Leave
