(New York City)

Harvest is a design driven company. Four years ago we set out to design a time tracking application that is simple and intuitive to use, and at the same time appealing to the eyes. Now, we're a growing company with dynamic products serving thousands of design agencies, small businesses and freelancers around the world. We're looking for a bad-ass visual designer to join our team of talented folks in a beautiful NYC downtown office. Our ideal designer can create beautiful and effective designs for the web and has their own interesting perspective to bring to our team. If that sounds like you and you're up for the challenge, read on.

Who you are:

• You have a good understanding of type, color and space, and can design exceptionally well for the web (you should be ridiculously skilled with Photoshop).
• You understand that design is beyond just making things look pretty.
• You care as much about the visual aesthetics as you do about usability. You make design decision with the user in mind.
• You take pride in doing great work, and you 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 and sites you've done.
• (Big Plus) You can chop up a Photoshop comp and turn it into something "live" with good, clean, standard-compliant XHTML and CSS.
• You want to be part of a small, growing company that is making an impact on the workflow and efficiency of small business.
• You're authorized to work in the United States.

• We make products that you will actually use daily, and thousands of people http://twitter.com/harvest/favoritesabsolutely love.
• Aside from our products, we work on fun, cool projects from time to time like http://www.worldclockproject.org/1600this and http://sxswbingo.com/this.
• We encourage experimentation, and your crazy ideas might not be so crazy here.
• We are committed to supporting small business, from writing our own articles about issues facing small businesses, to giving away our software to new start-ups. We want everyone to succeed.

Work that is inspiring, challenging, and fun (and we'll pay you for it).
