Job description

Overview

Founded in 2019, Glean is an AI-powered knowledge management platform designed to help organizations quickly find, organize, and share information across their teams. By integrating with tools like Google Drive, Slack, and Microsoft Teams, Glean ensures employees can access the right knowledge at the right time, boosting productivity and collaboration. The company’s cutting-edge AI technology simplifies knowledge discovery, making it faster and more efficient for teams to leverage their collective intelligence.

Glean was founded by Founder & CEO Arvind Jain who understood the challenges employees face in finding and understanding information at work. Fragmented knowledge and sprawling SaaS tools can hinder productivity, so the company built a better way—an AI-powered enterprise search platform that helps people quickly and intuitively access information. Glean combines enterprise-grade search, an AI assistant, and strong application- and agent-building capabilities to redefine how employees work.

About the Role:

Glean is looking for Backend/Infrastructure engineers to build a highly performant, scalable, secure, permissions-aware system that makes relevant enterprise knowledge readily available to employees in all contexts of their work. The role offers opportunities to work on modern cloud-native application stack using the latest best practices — including scalable distributed systems, underlying storage, a unified application framework and data model for indexing diverse sources, end-to-end security across application and platform layers, cost-conscious design, and tooling for comprehensive monitoring and deployment in multiple cloud environments.

You will:

• Own impactful infrastructure problems from inception and architecture to production launch
• Write well thought out design documents and robust, high-quality and well-tested code
• Work collaboratively with a strong team to identify the most impactful projects for the roadmap
• Mentor more junior engineers or learn from battle tested ones

About you:

• BA/BS in computer science, or related degree
• Minimum 3+ years of experience working on infrastructure for distributed systems or cloud-native applications
• Thrive in a customer-focused, tight-knit and cross-functional environment — being a team player and willing to take on whatever is most impactful for the company is a must
• A proactive and positive attitude to lead, learn, troubleshoot and take ownership of both small tasks and large features
• Strong coding skills (Go/Python/Java/C++ etc) with an emphasis on reliability and scale, and writing well-tested components
• Familiarity with cloud-native development practices in GCP/AWS/Azure is a plus

To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it.
