POSITION SUMMARY
The mission of Harness is to empower the 30M+ developers in the world with the ability to deliver software to end customers with the highest velocity, highest quality, highest security, highest reliability, and lowest costs, all without compromising on the necessary governance guardrails. According to a recent analyst study, less than five percent of organizations achieve that goal today.
As a Developer Advocate at Harness, you will further our mission by reaching and educating peer developers on the breadth and depth of CI/CD-driven software delivery. You will partner with Product, Engineering, Sales, and Marketing teams to create technical content, distribute across multiple mediums, reaching various communities, and tying it with campaigns around our product.

You will understand how these features are categorized into differentiation vs. table stakes. And you will also deeply understand where exactly competing products are weak on differentiation.
