About the role
- Own end-to-end resolution of complex customer issues across the CI/CD stack — pipelines, deployments, runners, artifacts, integrations, and more.
- Troubleshoot and debug infrastructure automation (Terraform, CloudFormation, Pulumi, etc.), pipeline misconfigurations, and environment-specific CI/CD behaviors.
- Serve as a CI/CD subject matter expert to enterprise customers during onboarding, implementation, and expansion across Harness modules.
- Lead incident triage and root cause analysis during escalations, coordinating cross-functionally and providing detailed feedback to engineering.
- Provide advanced technical guidance on database integrations (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MySQL, etc.), secrets management, and service-to-service communication.
- Create and improve tooling to automate common tasks, diagnostics, and troubleshooting steps.
- Act as a senior escalation point for the Customer Engineering team and mentor junior engineers in best practices and tooling.
- Maintain detailed internal and external documentation, including implementation runbooks, troubleshooting guides, and customer playbooks.
- Surface patterns in customer issues to influence product roadmap, prioritize fixes, and advocate for usability improvements
Requirements
- 5–7 years of experience in a customer-facing engineering role, DevOps, or SRE with increasing scope and complexity.
- Deep experience supporting FinOps products and data-centric tools — such as LookerML or similar semantic modeling layers.
- Proficient in Linux systems, networking, and distributed architectures; strong debugging instincts and curiosity
- Ability to dive deep into source code to understand how products work, and where they may have defects.
- Hands-on experience with Kubernetes (including Helm, CRDs) and cloud-native ecosystems.
- Strong scripting ability (Shell, Bash, JSON, YAML) and exposure to CI/CD pipelines and DevSecOps tooling.
- Familiar with major cloud platforms — AWS, GCP, Azure — and how enterprise customers utilize them at scale.
- Skilled in observability tools such as Datadog, Splunk, or Prometheus for diagnosing performance issues.
- Excellent communicator with the ability to empathize with customer pain while diving deep into technical details.
- Experience working with CRM/support tooling like Zendesk, Jira, and Confluence.
- Tenacious, detail-oriented, and customer-obsessed — you don’t give up until the issue is solved 100%.
