Staff Growth Designer

As a Staff Growth Designer at Harness, you’ll design experiences that accelerate adoption, retention, and expansion across the customer journey.

This role blends high-craft design with disciplined experimentation. You’ll design and validate flows that feel intuitive and connected, using interaction, motion, and transitions to guide users seamlessly across states and surfaces. You’ll partner closely with Product, Growth Marketing, and Engineering to uncover friction, form hypotheses, and translate behavioral insights into experiences that are fluid, purposeful, and outcome-driven.
