Job Details

We’re on a mission to make knowledge work faster and more humane. We believe that AI will fundamentally transform how people work. In the future, everyone will work in tandem with expert AI assistants who find knowledge, create and synthesize information, and execute work. These assistants will free people up to focus on the higher-level, creative aspects of their work.

We’re building a system of intelligence for every company in the world. On the surface, you can think of it as Google + ChatGPT for the enterprise. Under the hood, our platform is the connective tissue between AI and knowledge. It brings all of a company’s knowledge together, understands it at a deep level, provides industry-leading search relevance over it, and connects it to generative AI agents and applications.

Glean was founded by a seasoned team of former Google search and Facebook engineers who saw a need in the enterprise space for their technical depth and passion for AI. We’re a diverse team of curious and creative people who want to help each other get big things done—so we can help other teams do the same.

We're backed by some of the Valley's leading venture capitalists—including Sequoia, Kleiner Perkins, Lightspeed, and General Catalyst—and have assembled a world-class team with senior leadership experience at Google, Slack, Facebook, Dropbox, Rubrik, Uber, Intercom, Pinterest, Palantir, and others.

Role

We are Glean’s Data Foundation Team. We’re a high‐impact team that owns the enterprise data ingestion and management infrastructure within Glean that powers Glean’s Search and AI capabilities. We are looking for a technical lead who will pave the way for our hyper growth phase. With a robust product strategy, we are entering an ambitious product and team growth phase. We need engineering leaders who will build world-class software systems, uphold our cultural values of being fast-paced and customer-driven, and ensure solid execution in a highly collaborative environment.

Who You Are

  • You have 5+ years of experience in software engineering with 2 years experience as a technical lead, with a proven track record of delivering high scale backend services.
  • You have delivered vertical projects with net new features that needed to span & coordinate with multiple teams.
  • You have delivered a system that had to scale to large numbers of customers/users over a few years.
  • You have strong leadership skills and a demonstrated ability to inspire and motivate teams to achieve ambitious goals.
  • You are a strategic thinker passionate about driving innovation and leveraging technology to solve complex problems.
  • You have excellent communication and interpersonal skills and can collaborate effectively with stakeholders at all levels.
  • You thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and are comfortable navigating ambiguity and driving change.

What will you do

As a hands-on technical lead at Glean, you will be pivotal in leading our engineering team to build and enhance our cutting-edge platform. You will:

  • Lead new product initiatives involving ingesting, understanding, and interacting with enterprise data—experimenting, prototyping, and shipping ideas quickly.
  • Scale robust distributed systems to handle billions of permissions-aware documents in real time, as well as build new systems from the ground up.
  • Drive high, direct impact by collaborating with cross-functional teams on business-critical projects, and working directly with customers.

Benefits

  • Competitive compensation
  • Medical, Vision and Dental coverage
  • Flexible work environment and time-off policy
  • 401k
  • Company events
  • A home office improvement stipend when you first join
  • Annual education stipend
  • Wellness stipend
  • Healthy lunches and dinners are provided daily

For California based applicants: 

The standard base salary range for this position is $200,000 - $265,000 annually. Compensation offered will be determined by factors such as location, level, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. Certain roles may be eligible for variable compensation, equity, and benefits.

We are a diverse bunch of people and we want to continue to attract and retain a diverse range of people into our organization. We're committed to an inclusive and diverse company. We do not discriminate based on gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, civil or family status, age, disability, or race.
