Job summary

Harness is seeking a Growth Product Manager/Developer Experience leader to own the Internal Developer Portal (IDP) growth within the Strategic Products Growth team. You will drive a product-led transformation, demo complex value props, and shape how the market views AI-enabled developer portals.

The role combines technical sales engineering with marketing content development and field enablement, including 3–5 new assets in the first 90 days and a self-sustaining go-to-market motion.

Qualifications

• Demo-native and comfortable carrying a number; equally at home in a product spec and on a customer call.
• A technical, sales-engineering-like background - technical enough to earn a customer's trust and win a room - paired with strong educator and communicator instincts
• Experience with developer experience and developer platforms, with demonstrated thought leadership on AI's impact on DevX; you hold opinionated views backed by experience
• A growth PM or DevRel background is a plus, though not strictly required
• Comfortable operating between senior and staff level, with travel flexibility to support field functions
• Flexible Spending Account (FSA)
• Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
• Flexible Time Off and Parental Leave
• Monthly, quarterly, and annual social and team building events
• Monthly internet reimbursement

Responsibilities

• Carry a new-ARR target for the IDP product line (a mix of cross-sell and product-led revenue)
• Act as the product specialist the sales team pulls in: run the demo and the technical sale on inbound interest and on cross-sell into existing customers.
• Deliver technically accurate, value-driven product demonstrations on demand, tailored to diverse customer contexts - a core expectation from day one
• Support prospect technical discovery including RFP product-related questions and technical Q&A
• Drive discovery through content and thought leadership, particularly around AI's impact on developer experience: is the traditional internal developer portal the right shape for an agentic world?
• Develop and publish an opinionated point of view
• Develop 3-5 net new marketing or content assets within first 90 days, focused on a single capability area
• Build the go-to-market kit: content, collateral, business-value assessments, demo environments, and sales enablement
• Feed the most common deal-blocking gaps back to engineering
• Grow IDP toward a self-sustaining motion, whether product-led or sales-attached

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

Own the growth of the Internal Developer Portal (IDP) within Harness's Strategic Products Growth team - a product with real revenue and real users, historically sold via a sales-led motion but now shifting towards a product-led growth motion.. You're the person who owns this strategic transformation while shaping how the market thinks about developer portals in the age of AI and agentic workflows.

About The Role

• Carry a new-ARR target for the IDP product line (a mix of cross-sell and product-led revenue)
• Act as the product specialist the sales team pulls in: run the demo and the technical sale on inbound interest and on cross-sell into existing customers. Account teams keep the relationship and the commercials; the product depth is yours
• Deliver technically accurate, value-driven product demonstrations on demand, tailored to diverse customer contexts - a core expectation from day one
• Support prospect technical discovery including RFP product-related questions and technical Q&A
• Drive discovery through content and thought leadership, particularly around AI's impact on developer experience: is the traditional internal developer portal the right shape for an agentic world?
• Develop and publish an opinionated point of view
• Develop 3-5 net new marketing or content assets (technical or thought leadership focused) within your first 90 days, initially focused on a single capability area
• Build the go-to-market kit: content, collateral, business-value assessments, demo environments, and sales enablement
• Feed the most common deal-blocking gaps back to engineering
• Grow IDP toward a self-sustaining motion, whether product-led or sales-attached

What sits outside the role: self-serve billing and activation infrastructure, net-new logo prospecting, in-account adoption and renewals, and paid demand generation.

About You
