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.

Senior Level Staff Designer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a senior level staff designer job?
Employers hiring at this level look for designers who have owned outcomes end-to-end, not just executed tasks. A strong portfolio showing system-level thinking, cross-functional leadership, and measurable product impact carries the most weight. Demonstrating that you have shaped design direction, mentored other designers, and influenced decisions beyond your immediate team gives candidates a clear edge over those with similar years of experience.
Which companies hire senior level staff designers?
Companies hiring senior level staff designers right now include Burns & McDonnell, Stripe, and Pinterest, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Hiring at this level tends to concentrate in organizations large enough to support dedicated design systems work, multi-product platforms, or teams where a senior individual contributor owns a significant design surface.
Are there remote senior level staff designer jobs?
Yes, remote and hybrid options are well represented at this experience level. About 65% of senior level staff designer openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting how many product and technology organizations have made distributed design work a permanent part of how they hire senior talent.
What makes a staff designer role senior level?
Senior level staff designer roles are defined by scope, ownership, and influence rather than task execution. Designers at this stage lead design for a full product area or complex system, make architectural decisions about design language and component libraries, and are expected to mentor others and raise the quality of the broader team. The work requires minimal direction and carries organization-wide visibility.
Which industries hire the most senior level staff designers?
Senior Level staff designer roles concentrate in Technology & Software, Consulting & Professional Services, and Banking & Financial Services, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors tend to drive senior-level hiring because they operate at the scale and product complexity that requires designers who can own systems, set standards, and lead without a direct management title.
