Job summary

Glean, a Work AI platform, is seeking a Design Engineer to join our core product engineering team. You will own craft of the Glean experience across web, desktop, and mobile, and build an AI-forward design system that encodes design language for engineers and coding agents.

You will partner with design and engineering, prototype interactions, ensure accessibility, and ship polished UI that scales. This hybrid role offers SF or Mountain View offices and a generous benefits package.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience spanning product design and frontend engineering (or exceptional depth in one with strong fluency in the other)
• Expert in modern web UI: TypeScript, React, CSS; strong instincts for motion, interaction detail, and accessibility
• Experience building or maintaining a design system at scale - components, tokens, governance, and adoption
• Excited about AI-assisted development; you've used coding agents and have opinions on how to make them produce high-quality UI
• A portfolio demonstrating exceptional visual and interaction craft
• Self-directed: you identify polish gaps and fix them without waiting for a spec

Responsibilities

• Design and build polished, high-craft product experiences across Glean's web, desktop, and mobile apps - from micro-interactions and motion to full feature surfaces
• Evolve Glean's design system: components, tokens, usage rules, and documentation
• Make our design system AI-ready - author the rules, linting, and guidelines that let AI coding agents correctly use design-system components and follow best practices
• Build a "product design skill" for coding agents, encoding Glean's design judgment so quality scales with every engineer shipping product
• Set the bar for frontend craft on the team through prototypes, code review, and hands-on collaboration with designers and engineers
• Rapidly prototype interaction and motion concepts to resolve design questions in code rather than specs
