• Build and improve ML and LLM-powered systems that raise the quality of Glean’s AI Assistant and autonomous agents across real user workflows.
• Design evaluation, benchmarking, and monitoring loops to measure assistant quality, model quality, and end-to-end system performance.
• Develop and iterate on signals, prompts, workflows, and model-driven logic that improve reasoning, planning, personalization, and task completion quality.
• Work across areas such as RAG, semantic search, recommendation-style systems, post-training or reinforcement learning, and agent orchestration where they materially improve product outcomes.
• Partner closely with product, design, and engineering teammates to understand customer pain points and ship high-quality production systems quickly.
• Contribute to the data and ML infrastructure needed to support robust experimentation, offline and online evaluation, and continuous model improvement.
