About Glean

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.

You will create organized and professional content in partnership with R&D that is tailored to a plethora of users. You will also work closely with cross-functional team members in GTM (Sales, Customer Success, Marketing) to ensure accurate technical documentation across Glean. 

Key Responsibilities:

  • Develop and maintain technical documentation, including user guides, API documentation, tutorials, and FAQs, using Docs-as-Code tools.
  • Work cross functionally to collaborate with developers, product managers, and other stakeholders to gather information and ensure the accuracy of the documentation.
  • Use Git and GitHub to manage documentation changes and collaborate with the team.
  • Write clear, concise, and well-structured content that is easy to understand for both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Continuously improve documentation based on user feedback and changes in the product.
  • Ensure consistency in terminology and style across all documentation.
  • Advocate for the documentation and our customers internally.
  • Lead industry trends and best practices in technical writing and Docs-as-Code methodologies.

  • Experience authoring with Markdown/MDX syntax.
  • Ability to identify gaps in process and documentation and proactively close them.
  • Work as part of a distributed global team across multiple time zones.
  • Ability to work in-office according to a hybrid schedule.
