Harness is the AI Software Delivery Platform company, led by technologist and entrepreneur Jyoti Bansal (founder of AppDynamics, acquired by Cisco for $3.7B). 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.

For a scale-minded builder and engineering leader, it represents one of the most demanding challenges in distributed systems.

Millisecond-level latency through a globally distributed feature flag delivery network.

We are looking for a Senior Engineering Manager to lead this high-impact team. This is a rare opportunity to join early, mentor top talent, and directly shape both the architecture and the high-performance culture of a team whose work sits squarely in the critical path of software delivery for global enterprises.

As a senior Engineering Manager for FME, you will combine technical leadership, strategic execution, and people management to guide a team of highly skilled engineers. Provide continuous career framework guidance,



technical training, and constructive performance evaluations.

Drive agile, iterative development cycles with a short customer feedback loop. Ensure the team delivers consistently on module-level and cross-company priorities (including integration into Harness 3.0 and the Unified Data Platform).

Technical Governance: Own engineering excellence, operational rigor, and product quality. Partner with Architects and Staff Engineers to oversee technical functional specifications, secure cloud integrations, and robust distributed systems design.

Actively track engineering metrics, optimize cloud infrastructure costs (COGS), and enforce efficient code review processes.

Partner closely with Product Management, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE/DevOps), and other module teams to unblock dependencies and ensure enterprise-readiness.

Experience: 10-14 years of overall software development experience, with at least 2–3 years in a formal engineering management or solid tech-lead capacity managing high-performing backend teams.

Technical Depth: Deep technical expertise in building highly scalable, fault-tolerant distributed systems. Strong familiarity with Java or Golang environments is required.

Systems & Data Infrastructure: Proven experience working with containerized ecosystems (Docker/Kubernetes), cloud ecosystems (GCP/AWS/Azure), and advanced database/search technologies (e.g., PostgreSQL, Relational DB tuning, Elasticsearch).

Experience scaling data pipelines processing 10 TB+ daily. Experience handling systems with high concurrency, low-latency networks, real-time data processing, or edge delivery networks is a massive plus.

Operational Rigor:



Deep understanding of modern CI/CD processes, deployment metrics, automated quality gates, and distributed tracing architectures.

A proven track record of helping teams navigate ambiguity, manage shifting requirements, and execute under tight release cycles.
