About the role
- This role works whether you're early in your career and want to get hands-on with real production systems fast, with mentorship built in or you're an experienced DevOps/SRE/platform engineer who wants direct customer impact without giving up hands-on coding.
Responsibilities
- Own customer cases end-to-end on your team, triage, root-cause analysis, and resolution across Kubernetes, ECS, Docker, and AWS/GCP/Azure including occasional customer build engagements (~20-30% of time) where you'll shadow and co-build alongside a senior engineer.
- Lead or actively participate in customer calls and screen shares, communicating findings clearly to both engineers and managers.
- Build internal scripts and diagnostic tools that speed up the team's casework, with growing exposure to our AI/LLM-powered internal tooling as that practice matures.
- Goldman Sachs leads investment in software delivery startup Harness at $5.5 billion valuation
- Harness has been named to the Inc. Power Partner list for software delivery success
- Power Partner list for software delivery success
Requirements
- 2+ years in a customer-facing engineering, DevOps, SRE, or platform role or equivalent depth from internships, personal projects, or open-source work.
- Scripting ability (Python, Node.js, Bash, or similar) and enough coding experience: coursework, projects, or professionals to read source code and make small, guided changes.
- 2+ years in a customer-facing engineering, DevOps, SRE, or platform role or equivalent depth from internships, personal projects, or open-source work. Depth and curiosity matter more than years.
- Solid grasp of CI/CD concepts and Linux/networking fundamentals.
- Clear written and verbal communication comfortable driving a customer call and writing up findings for both engineers and managers.
- A fast learner, comfortable getting hands-on in unfamiliar systems.
- What You'll Grow Into
- This team gives you a runway most CXE II roles don't:
- Leading customer build engagements independently, as you build a track record beyond shadowing.
- Contributing more deeply to internal AI/LLM tooling as the practice matures.
- Exposure to observability tooling, Infrastructure-as-Code, AI agents/MCP, and secrets management.
- Work Location
