Harness is led by technologist and entrepreneur Jyoti Bansal, founder of AppDynamics (acquired by Cisco for $3.7B). The company has raised ~$240M in Series E venture funding, is valued at $5.5B, and backed by top investors including Goldman Sachs, Menlo Ventures, IVP, Google Ventures, J.P. Morgan, Capital One Ventures, Citi Ventures, ServiceNow, Splunk Ventures and more. Harness is building the industry’s leading AI-powered software delivery platform, enabling teams worldwide to build, test, and deliver software faster, safer, and more reliably. Writing code is only 30–40% of the engineering lifecycle — the rest involves testing, deployments, security, compliance, and optimization. Harness brings AI and automation to this outer loop, turning complex, time-consuming workflows into streamlined processes at massive global scale.

The platform includes industry leading products in CI/CD, Feature Flags, Cloud Cost Management, Service Reliability, Chaos Engineering, Software Engineering Insights, Internal Developer Experience, and API discovery, observability, governance, and runtime protection. Over the past year, Harness powered 128M deployments, 81M builds, 1.2T API calls protected, and $1.9B in cloud spend optimized, helping customers like United Airlines and Choice Hotels accelerate releases by up to 75% and achieve 10x DevOps efficiency. With employees in over 25 countries, Harness is shaping the future of AI-driven software delivery — and we’re looking for exceptional talent to help us move even faster.

About the Role
We are hiring a Staff Product Manager in India to drive key parts of our Application Security
(AppSec) platform, with a strong focus on DevSecOps-integrated security, Application
Security Testing (AST), Application Security Posture Management (ASPM), and AI-
powered / agentic AppSec workflows. This is a senior individual contributor role with ownership of platform-level capabilities used
by global enterprise customers. You will work closely with engineering teams in India and
product, security, and GTM leaders globally to define how security findings are discovered,
prioritized, and remediated—both by humans and AI agents—across the SDLC.

Key Responsibilities

Own the strategy and roadmap for AppSec capabilities, including:
AST (SAST, SCA, DAST, secrets detection)
ASPM and vulnerability correlation
CI/CD-native DevSecOps integrations
AI-powered and agentic AppSec workflows (e.g., automated triage,
reasoning, and remediation)
Define end-to-end AppSec workflows across the SDLC, from code and dependency
discovery to risk prioritization and remediation.
Partner closely with engineering teams in India to deliver scalable, secure, and high-
quality platform capabilities.
Design and evolve AI-assisted AppSec experiences, including:
Context-aware vulnerability prioritization
AI-generated remediation guidance or PRs.
Guardrails and governance for AI-driven changes
Collaborate with global stakeholders across product, sales, customer success, and security to align roadmap with customer and market needs.
Engage directly with enterprise customers to understand AppSec workflows, regulatory requirements, and adoption challenges.
Drive competitive analysis across AppSec, ASPM, and AI-native security vendors to inform differentiation.
Define and track product success metrics, including coverage, signal quality, MTTR, developer experience, and AI effectiveness.

Required Qualifications

6–10 years of product management experience, with ownership of enterprise security,
DevSecOps, or developer-focused platforms.
Strong understanding of Application Security and DevSecOps, including:
AST tools (SAST, SCA, DAST, secrets scanning)
CI/CD pipelines and developer workflows
ASPM or vulnerability management concepts
Familiarity with AI-powered developer or security tools, including LLM-based workflows, automation, or agentic systems.
Proven ability to translate complex security and technical requirements into clear,
prioritized product plans.
Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with experience working across distributed global teams.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience building or scaling AppSec or DevSecOps platforms used by large engineering organizations.
Familiarity with SBOMs, dependency graphs, vulnerability intelligence, and risk prioritization techniques.
Exposure to AI governance, policy-as-code, or automated remediation systems.
Background in software engineering, security engineering, or DevOps (strong plus).
Experience with cloud-native and containerized environments.

Why Join Us
● Own critical parts of a global AppSec platform from India.
● Work on cutting-edge AI-driven AppSec and DevSecOps workflows.
● Collaborate with senior product and engineering leaders across geographies.
