Software Engineer I/II - Backend (Software Engineering Insights)

Harness Software Engineering Insights helps engineering leaders unlock metrics and insights to understand bottlenecks in their SLDC and drive efficiencies. It works by connecting to 40+ SDLC tools and correlates data from these different tools to surface insights and metrics. The central product experience asks users to authorize with their SDLC tools (JIRA, GitHub) using token authentication. It then ingests data from the cloud application and analyzes the data. The customer can then create different out of the box widgets to surface actionable topical insights. The widget configuration allows the user to select filters, how they want to aggregate the data and how to customize the visualization.
