Director of Product Management, AI Evals

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 AI is moving from experimentation to production faster than any technology shift in recent memory, and the teams shipping it are discovering that traditional software testing breaks down for LLM-powered systems. Evaluation is the missing layer, and it's becoming the bottleneck for enterprise AI adoption. Harness is uniquely positioned to solve this: we already sit at the center of how engineering teams ship software, with deep integration into CI/CD pipelines and trusted relationships with platform and developer teams at enterprises worldwide. The AI Evals module is our bet that evaluation belongs in the same pipeline as the rest of software delivery, not as a bolted-on tool. This role will define what that looks like.
