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.
