Harmonic Security lets teams adopt AI tools safely by protecting sensitive data in real time with minimal effort. It gives enterprises full control and stops leaks so that their teams can innovate confidently.
We are led by cybersecurity experts and backed by top investors including N47, Ten Eleven Ventures, and In-Q-Tel.
As Harmonic’s product and customer footprint grow, the reliability, security, and developer experience of our underlying platform become mission-critical. This role exists to build and operate the infrastructure that makes safe, real-time AI adoption possible at scale. As a Senior DevOps Engineer, you’ll design the automation, deployment pipelines, and cloud architecture that power our product every day — creating a resilient, low-friction platform that engineers trust and customers depend on. This is a hands-on opportunity to shape the technical foundations of a category-defining security company from the inside out.
About the teamOur Product Delivery team is the engine that turns vision into impact. We ship early and often, getting valuable features into the hands of customers quickly and iterating from there. We work in the open by default, sharing progress and ideas, and we trust each other to own outcomes. We’re a small but mighty crew where every person plays a critical role and we’re committed to using AI to work smarter and faster.
