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.

• Track and optimize North Star metrics: activation rate, time-to-value, product-qualified leads (PQLs), expansion revenue

Drive Experimentation

• Run high-velocity A/B tests and experiments across the user journey
• Instrument analytics, define success metrics, and translate insights into product decisions

Expand and Monetize

• Drive free-to-paid conversion through packaging, pricing, and in-product upgrade prompts
• Identify expansion opportunities (seat growth, module upsell, usage-based expansion)
• Partner with Sales and CS to optimize the PLG-to-sales handoff

Collaborate Cross-Functionally

• Work with Engineering to rapidly ship growth experiments
• Partner with Marketing on demand gen, messaging, and lifecycle campaigns
• Align with Data/Analytics on instrumentation and user behavior analysis
• Work with Sales/CS on PQL scoring and expansion playbooks

About You

• 5+ years in product management, with 2+ years focused on growth, PLG, or self-serve products
• Proven track record driving measurable growth outcomes (activation, conversion, expansion ARR)
• Experience at a B2B SaaS company; developer tools or DevOps background strongly preferred
• Deep understanding of PLG principles: AARRR framework, growth loops, freemium models, viral mechanics
• Strong analytical skills: comfortable with SQL, product analytics tools (Amplitude, Mixpanel, Heap), experimentation platforms
• Technical fluency: understanding of developer workflows, CI/CD pipelines, cloud-native infrastructure
• Excellent cross-functional collaboration and communication skills

Preferred

• Experience at a PLG-native company (Atlassian, Slack, Figma, GitHub, Notion, Dropbox)
• Familiarity with usage-based pricing or consumption business models
