Matt Schillerstrom

Director of Product Management - Harness
I'm passionate about helping people learn Site Reliability Engineering and DevOps. As an engineer at Target, I discovered my love for product management while building reliable software and high-performing teams. I later helped launch the world's first Failure-as-a-Service product at a SaaS startup. Now, as the Director of Product Management, I blend both worlds to help developers globally ship reliable code and embrace failure as part of innovation. Outside of work, I lead community tech and resilience groups, and volunteer with non-profits.
