About Glean:

Glean is the Work AI platform that helps everyone work smarter with AI.

With over 100 enterprise SaaS connectors, flexible LLM choice, and robust APIs, Glean gives organizations the infrastructure to govern, scale, and customize AI across their entire business - without vendor lock-in or costly implementation cycles.

At its core, Glean is redefining how enterprises find, use, and act on knowledge. Its Enterprise Graph and Personal Knowledge Graph map the relationships between people, content, and activity, delivering deeply personalized, context-aware responses for every employee. This foundation powers Glean’s agentic capabilities - AI agents that automate real work across teams by accessing the industry’s broadest range of data: enterprise and world, structured and unstructured, historical and real-time. The result: measurable business impact through faster onboarding, hours of productivity gained each week, and smarter, safer decisions at every level.

Recognized by Fast Company as one of the World’s Most Innovative Companies (Top 10, 2025), by CNBC’s Disruptor 50, Bloomberg’s AI Startups to Watch (2026), Forbes AI 50, and Gartner’s Tech Innovators in Agentic AI, Glean continues to accelerate its global impact. With customers across 50+ industries and 1,000+ employees in more than 25 countries, we’re helping the world’s largest organizations make every employee AI-fluent, and turning the superintelligent enterprise from concept into reality.

• Own projects end to end, from identifying a user or customer problem through technical design, implementation, launch, measurement, and follow-through.

• Stay close to the code and architecture, contributing directly where needed, reviewing designs and code, debugging complex issues, and maintaining a high technical bar.

• Bring strong backend and systems leadership to the team while partnering effectively across the full stack and user-facing product experience.

• Collaborate with engineering teams across Glean to deliver cohesive experiences and build scalable foundations for growth.

• engage with users and customers when useful to understand their needs, identify friction, and ensure that growth initiatives solve meaningful problems

• As the team grows, hire, coach, and develop engineers; establish effective engineering practices; and create an environment of ownership, learning, and high-quality execution.

About you:

• 8+ years of software engineering experience building production distributed systems or cloud‑native applications.

• 1+ years of engineering management experience of a full stack team

• BS/BA in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent practical experience.

• You are a product-forward software engineering leader with experience building and shipping user-facing products, preferably in B2B SaaS, AI, productivity, collaboration, or other high-engagement software.

• You have a strong track record of execution and can lead a group of engineers through ambiguity, make sound technical decisions, and deliver meaningful outcomes.

• You have partnered effectively with Product Managers, Designers, and Data Scientists to define problems, evaluate tradeoffs, and deliver measurable product improvements.

• You are highly analytical and comfortable using data to understand user behavior, evaluate opportunities, define success metrics, and assess experiment results.

• You have demonstrated experience with product growth, experimentation, activation, adoption, engagement, retention, or other data-driven product optimization work.

• You have a strong understanding of customer needs and enjoy building products that users discover, adopt, and use regularly.
