Sakshi Jain

Sakshi Jain is Director of Engineering at Harness, an AI-native software delivery platform that helps engineering teams build, test, secure, and deploy software efficiently. 

A graduate of the Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS), Pilani, she brings more than 14 years of experience across engineering leadership, product development, platform engineering, and entrepreneurship.

Before joining Harness, Jain held leadership and engineering roles at organisations including Sumo Logic and upGrad, and also founded and led her own infrastructure startup. 

Her experience spans building and scaling technology products, leading high-performing engineering teams, and driving platform modernisation initiatives.

At Harness, Jain leads engineering for the company’s Continuous Delivery business. She plays a key role in the development of software delivery products designed to support increasingly AI-driven engineering environments. Her work focuses on both product strategy and engineering execution, helping teams adapt to evolving software development practices.

Internally, Jain has led efforts to integrate AI into engineering workflows with a focus on practical business outcomes rather than experimentation alone.

These initiatives have aimed to reduce repetitive engineering work, improve developer productivity, and establish measurable frameworks for evaluating the impact of AI-assisted development. 

The resulting improvements in efficiency and operational metrics have helped demonstrate the value of AI adoption within engineering organisations.

She is also involved in shaping the future direction of the Harness platform, ensuring that software delivery infrastructure evolves alongside changing development practices and the growing role of AI in the software lifecycle.
