Harness is the AI Software Delivery Platform company, led by technologist and entrepreneur Jyoti Bansal (founder of App Dynamics, acquired by Cisco for $3.7B). Harness has raised approximately $570M in funding and is valued at $5.5B, backed by leading investors including Goldman Sachs, Menlo Ventures, IVP, Unusual Ventures, Citi Ventures, and more. As AI accelerates code creation, the real bottleneck has shifted to everything after the code – testing, deployments, application security, reliability, compliance, and cost optimization.

Harness brings AI and automation to this “outer loop,” helping teams ship software faster while maintaining security and governance throughout the entire software delivery lifecycle.

Powered by Harness AI and the Software Delivery Knowledge Graph, the Harness Platform applies deep context and intelligent automation across the software delivery lifecycle with governance and policy-driven controls embedded throughout the platform. Over the past year, Harness powered over 185M deployments, 82M builds, 18T flag evaluations, 8M security scans, 9.1B optimized tests, 3T protected API calls, and helped manage $2.8B in cloud spend — enabling customers like United Airlines, Morningstar, and Choice Hotels to accelerate releases by up to 75%, reduce cloud costs by up to 60%, and achieve 10x Dev Ops efficiency.

With a global team across 26 offices and 27 countries, Harness is shaping the future of AI software delivery — and we’re looking for exceptional talent to help us move even faster.

Position Summary Harness Supply Chain Security (SCS) module protects every stage of the software delivery lifecycle by securing builds, artifacts, and dependencies from source to deployment. It provides end-to-end visibility, policy enforcement, and real-time risk detection to help engineering teams ensure software integrity, prevent tampering, and comply with evolving supply chain security standards.

As part of this team, you’ll work on a fast-growing product that integrates with the broader Harness platform to unify software delivery and developer tooling under one seamless experience. This is a high-impact team solving real pain points for modern Dev Ops and platform engineering teams.
