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 14 offices and 25 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 is looking for individuals who are passionate, driven, smart, goal-oriented and are motivated to exceed expectations and advance their career in B2B software sales. As an Enterprise Sales Development Representative, you will be responsible for generating new opportunities, handling inbound inquiries, following up on marketing campaigns and collaborating with our sales team to build pipeline and contribute to revenue growth! This is an opportunity to make an immediate impact and be rewarded accordingly; we offer a highly competitive salary plus bonuses.

Key Responsibilities
  • Research and prospect into Target Accounts

  • Exceed specific daily, monthly, quarterly KPIs and pipeline metrics to help achieve sales goals
  • Conduct high-level conversations explaining the value proposition of the Harness Platform
About You
