Senior Technical Content Strategist

About the role

We're looking for someone who understands the software delivery problem at a technical level and can translate it into clear, compelling content for the audiences who care most about solving it — developers, engineering and security leaders, and the broader tech community following where enterprise software is headed. This role sits at the intersection of technology, communication, and market narrative. You'll develop a deep understanding of what Harness is building and translate that — alongside what's happening across the industry — into content that earns attention from a technical audience.

Responsibilities

• Develop content that represents Harness's point of view — substantive technical and industry commentary that reflects how practitioners actually think about software delivery, AI governance, security, developer productivity, and engineering ROI.
• Monitor the news and developer conversation, identify what's worth engaging with, develop angles and post ideas, write and refine content across LinkedIn, X, and other external platforms, and iterate quickly based on feedback.
• Work closely with communications and marketing but operate with real ownership over the content calendar and the quality of what goes out.

Requirements

You have a technical foundation — engineering degree, CS background, or equivalent time spent working closely with engineering teams — and you've developed a strong instinct for communicating complex ideas clearly. You read widely across tech, not just in your lane. You have opinions about what's happening in software development and you can defend them.

• Sharp writing, not marketing well — actually well. Short, specific, direct.
• Know when a sentence is doing real work and when it's filler.
• Comfortable going deep on a product to understand how it works, why it's built the way it is, and what problems it actually solves.

Qualifications

• A background in engineering combined with an MBA, or experience on the analytical or investment side of tech — VC, strategy, research — is the profile we have in mind.

Skills

You move fast, take feedback without friction, and have good judgment about when something is ready versus when it needs another pass.
