Job summary

Harness is seeking Forward Deployed Engineers to embed with enterprise engineering teams and design AI-native automation on the Harness platform. You will write production code, build pipelines, and connect Harness AI Agents into a customer’s existing systems, staying engaged until capability is live in production.

You will work directly with customer engineers, delivering working software rather than documents, and travel up to 50% as needed during builds.

Qualifications

• Hands-on platform or software engineering background with coding, scripting, and integration into customer codebases.
• Experience building integrations against APIs, event-driven systems, or LLM/agent orchestration frameworks.
• Prior forward-deployed or embedded consulting background focused on working software over documents.
• Strong CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code, with depth in security, observability, or cost management.

Responsibilities

• Embed inside a customer's engineering organization for the length of a build engagement to design and build agent-driven automation.
• Write production code connecting Harness AI Agents to pipelines, repositories, ITSM tooling, security systems, and infrastructure.
• Partner directly with customer engineering stakeholders and the broader Harness delivery team to translate an approved plan into working software.
• Prototype quickly, ship incrementally, and iterate directly with customer engineers rather than handing off a static design document.
• Turn what you build into reusable patterns and share them with the broader Harness delivery organization.
• Bring direct feedback to Harness product and engineering teams based on what you learn building in real customer environments.
• Support the transition from custom build to steady-state operation so the customer can independently operate and extend what you built.
• What Success Looks Like: A working production agent integration lives in the customer's environment by end of engagement. A reusable pattern or template captured in the Solutions Factory. Customer engineers can operate and extend the integration without ongoing involvement.
