Job description

Harness is the AI Software Delivery Platform company, led by technologist and entrepreneur Jyoti Bansal (founder of AppDynamics, 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 DevOps 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

This is Harness' inaugural in-house treasury hire. Reporting to the VP Corporate Controller, you will build the treasury function from the ground up — establishing cash management infrastructure, banking relationships, FX risk management frameworks, and liquidity reporting processes for a rapidly growing global company operating in multiple currencies and jurisdictions.

This is a unique opportunity for a treasury professional who thrives on building: you will design the policies, implement the tools, and create the reporting frameworks that will support Harness through its pre-IPO growth and eventual public market journey. The right candidate is operationally excellent, intellectually curious, and ready to bring institutional-quality treasury discipline to a high-growth technology company.
