Scored from the posting itself — how clearly the role is described, how much it says about pay and benefits, and how recently it was listed. Not a judgement of Harness as an employer.

What you need

  • 4–6 years in security engineering, detection engineering, threat hunting, penetration testing, incident response, or a closely related discipline.
  • A deep, current understanding of the security landscape — threat models, attacker techniques, and how attacks against APIs and AI systems actually play out.
  • Ability to code and automate.
  • Ability to use AI for threat hunting.
  • Black-box penetration testing ability.
  • Comfort working directly with enterprise customers globally.

Nice to have

  • Familiarity with CDN, gateway, and upstream traffic architectures.
  • Prior experience in a customer-facing security engineering, SOC, or professional services role.
  • Certifications related to API and AI security.

Worth weighing

  • No salary listed.
  • The role requires a deep technical understanding and hands-on experience, which may not suit all candidates.
  • The focus on AI and automation may require continuous learning and adaptation to new technologies.
  • The role involves significant customer interaction, which may not appeal to those preferring backend work.
