Role Overview

Join Harvey’s Brand team as a Design Engineer owning our web touchpoints end‑to‑end. You’ll architect and ship high‑impact marketing pages, prototype demand‑gen microsites, and evolve the design system that powers the product. Equal parts engineer and designer, you turn rough ideas into production‑ready experiences that are fast, accessible, and unmistakably Harvey.

What You’ll Do

• Ship and maintain the high‑traffic marketing site end‑to‑end—configure Vercel deployments, manage sub‑domains, author polished MDX components, and monitor uptime.
• Architect and launch new landing and product pages that convert visitors into qualified leads.
• Prototype and release microsites and interactive demos that generate demand and educate the legal‑AI community.
• Extend and harden the Sanity CMS schema so Marketing can publish without engineering help.
• Partner with Product Marketing to translate messaging into compelling web experiences.
• Design directly in code when Figma comps aren’t available; unblock yourself and others.
• Continually evaluate and upgrade the Next.js / React / Tailwind stack for performance and DX.
• Dive into the product repo to maintain and evolve the shared design system.
• Tackle small in‑app features when bandwidth or urgency requires

What You Have

• 5 + years building production React/Next.js front‑ends for high‑traffic sites.
• Portfolio that showcases pixel‑perfect UI, thoughtful motion, and responsive behavior.
• Fluency with TailwindCSS, Vercel, and modern web tooling
• Hands‑on experience modeling and integrating headless CMSs (we use Sanity).
• Clear, concise communicator who collaborates tightly with designers, PMM, and engineers.
• Ability to sketch ideas—in code or on paper—to converge on solutions quickly.
• Obsessive about craft: semantic HTML, ARIA patterns, animation curves, and micro‑copy.
• Comfortable hand‑coding responsive HTML emails.
• Proven track record of squeezing every millisecond and SEO point out of a page.

Bonus

• Prior experience shipping at a hyper‑growth startup.
• Working knowledge of motion libraries (Framer Motion, GSAP) and WebGL/three.js.
• Background in graphic or brand design; sharp eye for typography, grid, and composition.
• Interest in generative design and AI‑assisted creative workflows.
