Senior Manager, Security Operations

About the role

The Security Operations Team at Harness is a small, high-leverage organization covering Cloud & Network Security, Detection Engineering (SOC), and Identity & Access Management (IAM). We measure ourselves against NIST CSF 2.0, run a continuous red-team and penetration-testing program with external partners, and work directly with customers on security architecture reviews and briefings.

What you'll do

• Drive secure-by-default infrastructure through policy-as-code (e.g., OPA), guardrails in CI/CD, and continuous posture management
• Partner with Platform and SRE on dedicated-tenant and customer-hosted deployment models, including the controls that make those models safe at enterprise scale
• Identity & Access Management
• Own the workforce and workload identity strategy: SSO, MFA, privileged access, just-in-time access, service-account and machine-identity lifecycle, and access reviews
• Advance Zero Trust principles across internal systems and production, using a central authority model with human-in-the-loop approvals for high-risk actions
