Harness is a high-growth company that is disrupting the software delivery market. Our mission is to enable the 30 million software developers in the world to deliver code to their users reliably, efficiently, securely and quickly, increasing customers’ pace of innovation while improving the developer experience. We offer solutions for every step of the software delivery lifecycle to build, test, secure, deploy and manage reliability, feature flags and cloud costs. The Harness Software Delivery Platform includes modules for CI, CD, Cloud Cost Management, Feature Flags, Service Reliability Management, Security Testing Orchestration, Chaos Engineering, Software Engineering Insights, and continues to expand at an incredibly fast pace.
Harness is led by technologist and entrepreneur Jyoti Bansal, who founded AppDynamics and sold it to Cisco for $3.7B. We’re backed with $425M in venture financing from top-tier VC and strategic firms, including J.P.

You will help define the future of Harness product experiences. You can envision the complex UX landscape of CI/CD and can craft an unrivaled experience for our customers while you inspire teams around you to reach higher standards. You are opinionated - your instincts sharpened by your years of designing for complex domains, and you ship world-class products. And yet you remain curious, you learn from customers, experts around you and you pursue excellence in product design.
In this role, you will apply your skills in design and negotiations to guide research, design processes and go from idea to product design specifications. You’ll collaborate with other members on the UX team, Product Management, Engineering and Customer Success teams. You will conduct customer research, evaluate the usability of existing products in the CI/CD ecosystem to better define simpler solutions. Our team is growing, and you will find yourself wearing multiple hats - designer, researcher, product manager and evangelist. And your role doesn’t end with product design, you get to own the outcome following up with customers post launch; you’ll measure impact and continuously improve the quality of Harness as experienced by customers.
