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.
Position Summary
We’re looking for a DevOps practitioner who builds the runnable proof (pipeline templates, working examples, self-serve tutorials) that lets a developer go from “my pipelines can’t handle AI-generated code” to "ran a real pipeline successfully" without help. If something you built doesn't survive a skeptical engineer poking at it live, it doesn't ship.
The starting point is always the pain point, not the product. Before you build anything, you identify the DevOps/developer problems teams hit most often (flaky pipelines, slow builds, deployment risk, tool sprawl, security noise) and work backward from there to a solution and a narrative that proves Harness solves them. Feature-first content is exactly what this role exists to avoid
About The Role
- Start from the pain point, not the product: pick the DevOps/developer problems teams hit most often, then build the working solution and the narrative around it, before deciding what format it becomes
- Build forkable, production-realistic pipeline templates and code samples (CI, CD, GitOps, feature flags) that developers can clone and adapt directly, not superficial demos
- Own the "zero to first pipeline run" self-serve paths for our flagship products, and validate them by having real, unassisted users run through them
- Record short technical walkthroughs and live coding demos of real CI/CD workflows on Harness
- Own the example-repo strategy: the canonical, maintained source of truth
- Keep every sample and tutorial working as the product changes, i.e., stale examples cost more trust than no examples
- Show up in developer communities (GitHub Discussions, Discord, relevant subreddits) and understand developer pain points and answer real questions first, turn the best ones into content second
- Be the technical sign-off on content produced elsewhere on the team. If a use case or demo is wrong, you're the one who catches it before it publishe
About You
- Real, hands-on CI/CD experience: you've built and maintained pipelines in production, not just used one someone else configured
- Comfortable writing YAML, scripting (Bash/Python/Go), and working across git, containers/Kubernetes, and common CI/CD tooling (Jenkins, ArgoCD, or similar), familiarity with GitOps/progressive delivery, SAST/SCA, or DORA metrics
- Background as a software engineer or DevOps practitioner: someone who's shipped, not just covered the space
- Can write clearly for other engineers: a tutorial, not just code comments
- Comfortable on camera or mic for short technical content: we'll coach delivery; the technical judgment has to already be there
- Self-directed: you spot the gap in self-serve content and build the fix without waiting on a brief
Nice to have:
- Direct experience with Harness, or a comparable platform
- An existing presence in a developer community, or a personal technical content portfolio
What Success Looks Like In 90 Days
- Forkable pipeline template repos live and linked from blog posts/technical articles for at least two flagship products
- Three completed "zero to first pipeline run" path shipped and validated by a real new user, completing it unaided
- Visible, active presence in at least one developer community surfac
Work Location
- Remote within the U.S
What You Will Have At Harness
- Competitive salary
- Comprehensive healthcare benefits
- Flexible Spending Account (FSA)
- Flexible work schedule
- Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
- Flexible Time Off and Parental Leave
- Monthly, quarterly, and annual social and team building events
- Monthly internet reimbursement
The anticipated base salary range for this position is $150,000 and $162,000 annually. Salary is determined by a combination of factors including location, level, relevant experience, and skills. The range displayed on each job posting reflects the minimum and maximum target for new hire salaries for the position across all US locations. The compensation package for this position may also include equity, and benefits. More details about our company benefits can be found at the following link: https://www.harness.io/company/careers.

Tips for Your Developer Advocate Job Search
Show your code and your content
Developer advocate roles expect both. Your resume should link to public repositories, conference talk recordings, or technical blog posts you've authored. Hiring teams treat your actual output as a portfolio, so make every example easy to find and click through.
Tailor your resume to the platform layer
A role at a database company values different depth than one at an AI inference startup. Read the job description for the specific technology layer and reorder your bullets to surface the most relevant API or SDK experience at the top, not buried on page two.
Target companies mid-product launch
Developer advocate headcount often spikes when a company ships a new SDK, opens a public beta, or hosts a major developer conference. Watching release announcements and event schedules lets you apply while the team is actively building community rather than backfilling attrition.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists developer advocate openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Prepare a live technical demo for interviews
Most developer advocate interview loops include a presentation or live demo segment. Practice walking through a real project you've built, explaining the decision points as you would to a skeptical developer audience, not a hiring manager who already wants to like you.
Negotiate scope before you negotiate salary
Developer advocate roles vary enormously in how much time goes to content, events, or product feedback. In the offer conversation, get clarity on the ratio before accepting. A title-match with a travel-heavy scope or a support-first mandate can reshape the role entirely.
Developer Advocate Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most developer advocates?
The companies hiring the most developer advocates right now include Datadog, NVIDIA, and Yandex, with the largest share of openings in California, New York, and Washington, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Cloud infrastructure providers, developer tool companies, and enterprise API platforms consistently post the highest volume of these roles.
How many developer advocate jobs are remote?
About 61% of developer advocate openings are fully remote or hybrid as of August 2026, making it one of the more remote-accessible technical roles in the industry. Sub-areas focused on technical content, documentation, and online community tend to offer the most location flexibility, while roles centered on conference presence or enterprise sales support are more likely to require travel or an office base.
How do you become a developer advocate?
Start by building publicly: contribute to open source projects, write technical tutorials, and speak at local meetups or virtual developer events. Get comfortable explaining complex technical concepts to audiences with varying skill levels. Most people who break into developer advocacy come from software engineering or technical writing, so treat those disciplines as your foundation rather than a detour. A visible portfolio of content and community work carries more weight than credentials alone.
Can you get a developer advocate job without much experience?
Yes, especially if you can demonstrate community involvement and technical communication before you apply. Entry-level developer advocate and developer relations associate roles exist specifically for candidates who are early in their careers. Focus on producing a few strong, public-facing examples such as a well-documented GitHub project, a tutorial series, or a recorded talk. Employers in this space weight evidence of genuine developer empathy over years of experience at a known company.
What does the developer advocate interview process look like?
Most processes run three to five rounds. An initial recruiter screen is followed by a hiring manager conversation focused on your technical background and community experience. From there, expect a technical content or demo round where you explain a concept or walk through a project live. Some companies add a take-home writing sample or a mock developer onboarding session. Final rounds typically involve cross-functional stakeholders from product, engineering, or marketing who want to see how you collaborate.
Where can I find and apply to developer advocate jobs?
You can find and apply to developer advocate jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Find roles that match your background and apply directly to each listing. Searching by specific technology stack or seniority level helps narrow the results to positions that are the right fit for where you are in your career.
