Technical Senior Manager, Harness Engineering

Bachelor's/Master's in Computer Science or related discipline, or relevant experience in software design, development, and testing.

Strong software engineering background in large, complex codebases, with genuine care for architecture, testing, and maintainability — you remain hands-on.

Hands-on experience with AI coding agents (e.g. Claude Code, Codex, or similar) and a well-developed feel for where they succeed and fail.

Experience building engineering tooling across a modern stack — linters and static analysis, CI/CD pipelines, containerized build/test environments, and instrumentation/observability — plus familiarity with agent instruction conventions such as AGENTS.md.

Experience with spec-driven development, context engineering, agent orchestration, fitness functions, and developer-platform work.

A systems mindset — you'd rather fix the environment than fix one output — and the ability to encode "what good looks like" into mechanical, repeatable rules.

Judgement about when to reach for deterministic, computational controls (type checkers, linters, structural/architecture-fitness tests) versus inferential, LLM-based ones (AI code review, LLM-as-judge) — and an understanding of the cost, speed, and reliability trade-offs between them.

Strong people management experience with the proven ability to manage a high-performing team, including navigating the organisational change that AI adoption brings.

Demonstrated ability to drive AI adoption within a team while governing responsible use, managing associated risks, and maintaining compliance awareness.

Working knowledge of the security surface unique to autonomous agents — prompt injection, tool/permission scoping, sandboxed execution, and audit trails for agent actions — and how to design least-privilege guardrails around them.

Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, containerization (e.g. Docker, Kubernetes), and infrastructure-as-code as they relate to managing modern engineering teams.

Excellent communication skills to articulate design, strategy, and standards across teams.

An inclusive culture strongly reflecting our core values: Act Like an Owner, Delight Our Customers and Earn the Respect of Others.

The opportunity to make an impact and develop professionally by leveraging your unique strengths and participating in valuable learning experiences.

Highly competitive compensation, benefits and rewards programs that encourage you to bring your best every day and be recognized for doing so.

An engaging, people-first work environment offering work/life balance, employee resource groups, and social events to promote interaction and camaraderie.
