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

Harness is seeking a Senior Product Manager to lead Harness Code Repository, a core pillar of the end-to-end Harness software delivery platform. You will own strategy and execution across source control, pull requests, governance, and AI-assisted developer workflows – deeply integrating code into the broader lifecycle (code → build → security → deploy).

This is a high-impact, individual contributor role with a strong focus on technical execution, enterprise-grade trust, and developer experience.

What You’ll Do

• Own product strategy and multi-quarter roadmap for Harness Code Repository across repo fundamentals, PR workflows, branch protections/policies, reviews/approvals, permissions/RBAC, and auditability.
• Deepen and scale integration across the Harness software delivery platform, strengthening Code’s role as a first-class pillar across the software delivery lifecycle.
• Define success metrics and outcomes (adoption, migration velocity, PR throughput, time-to-merge) and drive decisions using telemetry and customer feedback.
• Define and deliver AI-assisted workflows grounded in repo/PR context that measurably improve developer productivity and code quality (with clear evaluation criteria, guardrails, and launch/iteration plans).
• Partner with engineering and design to ensure AI experiences are trustworthy, controllable, and aligned with enterprise requirements.
• Partner with customers to understand how teams create, review, and ship code day-to-day – including collaboration and governance needs – and use those insights to reduce PR friction, improve usability, and guide roadmap priorities.
• Drive competitive intelligence across source control and adjacent developer workflow tooling (code review, code quality, policy/governance, security signals, and AI-assisted development); translate insights into clear priorities and differentiation.
• Write and manage technical requirements/specs; partner closely with engineering on feasibility and architectural tradeoffs to ship high-quality releases.
• Drive execution with urgency: anticipate risks, unblock dependencies, and communicate tradeoffs and timelines clearly across engineering, field, and leadership stakeholders.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with GTM, PMM, and DevRel to drive adoption and craft technical narratives that resonate with developers and technical buyers.

About you

• You’re a developer at heart, passionate about improving the end-to-end software delivery experience.
• You’re a highly technical PM, comfortable going deep on architecture, scalability, reliability, and systems tradeoffs.
• You’re AI-native in how you work: you leverage modern tools (e.g., coding copilots, automation, agents, prototyping/vibe-coding) to move faster, validate ideas, and increase personal and team throughput – while maintaining quality and rigor.
• You can define and deliver AI-assisted product workflows with clear guardrails, evaluation criteria, and success metrics.
• You’re comfortable operating as the single product owner in ambiguity; you’re execution-driven, accountable, and a crisp communicator.
• You move fast, simplify complexity, and deliver predictably with a high quality bar.
• You think in platforms and systems, not isolated features.
• You thrive in a high-ownership environment – resourceful, biased to action, and willing to roll up your sleeves.

Qualifications

• BSc in Computer Science or equivalent experience.
• 7+ years total experience, including:
• 2+ years in software development or engineering.
• 5+ years in product management for developer tools, DevOps, SCM, or CI/CD products.
• Proven track record shipping complex products with measurable adoption and impact.
• Familiarity with GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket ecosystems and CI/quality integrations.
• Enterprise SaaS governance experience and/or AI-assisted developer workflows is a plus.

Work Location

• Ideally someone located near Mountain View, CA who can work hybrid from our office but we are open to Remote within North America.

What you will have at Harness

• 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
