About the job
Harness is a leading AI Software Delivery Platform, founded by the visionary technologist and entrepreneur Jyoti Bansal, who also established AppDynamics, acquired by Cisco for an impressive $3.7 billion. With approximately $570 million in funding and a valuation of $5.5 billion, Harness is supported by elite investors such as Goldman Sachs, Menlo Ventures, IVP, Unusual Ventures, and Citi Ventures. As artificial intelligence continues to revolutionize code development, the main challenges now lie in the post-code processes — including testing, deployments, application security, reliability, compliance, and cost optimization. Harness is transforming this "outer loop" by integrating AI and automation, enabling teams to deliver software faster while ensuring security and governance throughout the entire software delivery lifecycle.
Leveraging Harness AI and the Software Delivery Knowledge Graph, the Harness Platform infuses profound context and intelligent automation across the software delivery lifecycle, embedding governance and policy-driven controls throughout.
In the past year, Harness has driven over 185 million deployments, 82 million builds, 18 trillion flag evaluations, 8 million security scans, optimized 9.1 billion tests, safeguarded 3 trillion API calls, and managed $2.8 billion in cloud expenditures. This has empowered customers like United Airlines, Morningstar, and Choice Hotels to accelerate their release cycles by up to 75%, lower cloud costs by as much as 60%, and achieve a tenfold increase in DevOps efficiency.
With a global presence in 14 offices across 25 countries, Harness is paving the way for the future of AI software delivery, and we invite outstanding talent to join us in our mission.
