Senior Product Manager, Continuous Integration

AI has changed how software gets written, and developers are now shipping more code, more frequently than ever, which makes CI more critical than it has ever been. To keep up, CI has to match growing demand and the expectation that developers will be more productive than ever. Every commit has to build, test, and validate fast enough to match that pace, without slowing teams down or eroding trust in the pipeline. Speed and developer experience are no longer nice-to-haves in CI; they separate teams that ship continuously from teams that stall. Harness already sits at the center of how engineering teams build and deliver software, with CI integrated directly into the broader delivery lifecycle and trusted by enterprise engineering teams worldwide. 

We are hiring a Senior Product Manager to help drive the vision, strategy, and roadmap for Harness Continuous Integration, shaping how engineering teams build, test, and validate code at scale. This is a high-impact role focused on innovation, technical execution, developer experience, and bringing AI to the core of the CI pipeline.

What You’ll Do

• Help drive the product strategy and multi-quarter roadmap for Harness CI across build pipelines, parallelization, and build infrastructure.
• Deepen and scale CI’s integration across the Harness software delivery platform, strengthening its role as a first-class pillar in the delivery lifecycle.
• Define and deliver AI-assisted workflows grounded in build and pipeline context that measurably improve developer productivity, such as cutting build and test time, explaining why a build failed, and detecting flaky tests.
• Partner with engineering and design to ensure AI experiences in CI are trustworthy, controllable, and aligned with enterprise requirements.
• Partner with customers to understand how teams build, test, and ship day-to-day, and use those insights to reduce pipeline friction, improve usability, and guide roadmap priorities.
• Partner with go-to-market teams on training, enablement, and driving sales opportunities to accelerate adoption and revenue growth.
• Drive competitive intelligence across CI and adjacent developer workflow tooling, and translate insights into clear priorities and differentiation.
• Champion developer experience by relentlessly simplifying CI workflows, improving the onboarding experience, reducing setup and configuration overhead, and making pipelines easier to understand, debug, and trust.

• You’re a developer at heart and a highly technical PM, comfortable going deep on architecture, scalability, reliability, and systems tradeoffs to improve the build experience and the end-to-end delivery lifecycle.
• You’re AI-native in how you work: you leverage modern tools (coding copilots, automation, agents, prototyping) to move faster and increase personal and team throughput while maintaining quality and rigor.
• You can define and deliver AI-assisted product workflows with clear guardrails, evaluation criteria, and success metrics.
• You operate with a high degree of ownership and a strong sense of urgency, staying effective amid shifting requirements and ambiguity, and moving quickly to unblock teams and make decisions without waiting for perfect information.
• You think in platforms and systems, not isolated features, and you simplify complexity rather than add to it.
• You’re execution-driven, accountable, and a crisp communicator who delivers predictably with a high quality bar.

Qualifications

• BSc in Computer Science or equivalent experience.
• 7+ years total experience, including:
• Proven track record shipping complex products with measurable adoption and impact.
• Familiarity with GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket ecosystems and CI/quality integrations.
• Enterprise SaaS governance experience and/or AI-assisted developer workflows is a plus.
