What is a Security Engineer at Harness?
At Harness, security is not a final checkpoint; it is a fundamental pillar of the software delivery lifecycle. As a Security Engineer, you will be responsible for safeguarding a platform that orchestrates deployments, builds, and cloud costs for thousands of enterprises globally. Your work directly impacts the trust that modern engineering organizations place in Harness to deliver their software safely, securely, and without friction.
You will work at the intersection of application security, cloud infrastructure, and software engineering. Harness operates a highly distributed, multi-tenant SaaS environment, which introduces complex security challenges around containerization, network isolation, and secret management. Whether you are threat modeling a new feature for the Harness continuous delivery pipeline or building automated guardrails to prevent vulnerabilities from reaching production, your contributions will protect both the company's intellectual property and its customers' production environments.
To succeed in this role, you must possess a builder's mindset. Harness values engineers who do not just identify risks but actively write code and design systems to remediate them. You will collaborate closely with product and platform engineering teams, requiring a deep understanding of modern development workflows, cloud-native architectures, and automated security testing.
