Web Application Designer
Join a team of stellar designers and developers and work on a popular web application that powers some of the most innovative agencies in the world.
You are knowledgeable about type, color and space, and can design exceptionally well for the web. You understand that design is beyond just making things look pretty. You can come up with ideas and you care about usability.
You are smart, curious, and eager to learn (you're going to learn a lot here at Harvest).
You're expected to fit in with our team as an honest, responsible, and humble person with a sense of humor.
NYC START-UP, SMART PEOPLE, CHALLENGING & MEANINGFUL WORK. Can you dig it?
Harvest HQ is centrally located in SoHo, New York City. We work in a renovated loft space, designed to promote a collaborative and open environment.
Time is Money
Why Harvest?
- Startup culture, without startup stress. Harvest is a 6-year old, profitable startup. This means you'll experience the fun and excitement of a young, fast-growing company, but there won't be the typical crazy hours and instability of a normal startup. We’re as serious about work as we are about our lives outside of it.
- Small team, big impact. We’re a nimble, efficient and talented team of 22 people. What you will do will have a direct impact on Harvest and our customers’ lives. Your hard work will be seen, appreciated and used by thousands of your peers.
- Challenge yourself. Work with some of the smartest and most interesting people who genuinely care about their craft and demand the highest quality. Aside from the personal satisfaction of a job well done, you will be working with some of the most reputable businesses in the industry.
- Amazing work environment. Great salary, great benefits. Work out of our beautiful NYC office or from your home office. Wherever you are, Harvest will send you an awesome standing desk and a shiny new Mac of your choice.
Who You Are
- You take pride in doing great work and care about the details (that is, you deliver pixel-perfect work).
- You have a different, fresh, and interesting perspective to share with us on designing marketing sites, applications, and usability.
- You have done some great work and can send us links to your portfolio/sites you've done.
- You can chop up a Photoshop comp and turn it into something "live" with semantic HTML(5) and CSS(3). Big plus if you can skip the Photoshop step.
- You want to be part of a small, growing company that is making an impact on the workflow and efficiency of fellow designers and design studios.
A Sample of Tasks and Projects You Might Work On
- Re-designed the Harvest Careers section (took us about 14.03 non-billable hours).
- Designed and tweaked and re-tweaked a new invoice layout.
- Designed and finessed some UI elements and worked on a new layout for our internal tool, Kaizen.
- Prepared slides for Hobby and designed the printed program.
- Sketched out a few new icons for Harvest and Co-op.
To Apply
- Please make sure you fit the description above. You must be able and available to work out of our NYC office (this is not a remote position).
- Email us at with the subject "Harvest App Designer."
- Tell us why you want to work with us and why you'd make a good fit here.
- Link to your portfolio.
- One more thing. Pick one design flaw on this page and explain what you'd do differently.
These come standard: health and dental, flexible schedule, standing desk, good chair, mac of your choice, fresh fruit, and fresh-brewed coffee every morning
