About the job

Harness is revolutionizing software delivery with its AI-driven platform, spearheaded by visionary technologist and entrepreneur Jyoti Bansal, the founder of AppDynamics which was acquired by Cisco for $3.7B. With an impressive funding of approximately $570M and a valuation of $5.5B, we are backed by leading investors such as Goldman Sachs, Menlo Ventures, IVP, Unusual Ventures, and Citi Ventures. As AI transforms code creation, we recognize that the main bottleneck now lies in post-code processes—testing, deployment, application security, reliability, compliance, and cost optimization. Harness harnesses AI and automation to streamline this crucial “outer loop,” empowering teams to deploy software at speed while ensuring robust security and governance throughout the software delivery lifecycle.

Utilizing Harness AI and our Software Delivery Knowledge Graph, the Harness Platform delivers deep contextual insights and intelligent automation across the software delivery lifecycle, embedding governance and policy-driven controls throughout the platform.

In the past year, Harness has facilitated over 185 million deployments, 82 million builds, 18 trillion flag evaluations, 8 million security scans, 9.1 billion optimized tests, and 3 trillion protected API calls while managing $2.8 billion in cloud expenditures. Our customers, including United Airlines, Morningstar, and Choice Hotels, have experienced a remarkable acceleration in release speeds by up to 75% and reductions in cloud costs by up to 60%, achieving a tenfold increase in DevOps efficiency.

With a diverse team distributed across 14 offices in 25 countries, Harness is at the forefront of shaping the future of AI software delivery—and we are on the lookout for exceptional talent to accelerate our journey.
