About Glean:
 
Founded in 2019, Glean is an innovative AI-powered knowledge management platform designed to help organizations quickly find, organize, and share information across their teams. By integrating seamlessly 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 born from Founder & CEO Arvind Jain’s deep understanding of the challenges employees face in finding and understanding information at work. Seeing firsthand how fragmented knowledge and sprawling SaaS tools made it difficult to stay productive, he set out to build a better way - an AI-powered enterprise search platform that helps people quickly and intuitively access the information they need. Since then, Glean has evolved into the leading Work AI platform, combining enterprise-grade search, an AI assistant, and powerful application- and agent-building capabilities to fundamentally redefine how employees work.

About the Role:

In a rapidly growing startup, this entails developing ideas with product managers and designers to best balance engineering constraints with requirements, delivering intuitive experiences that run in modern mobile and desktop browsers.

  • Architect REST APIs that are backed by stable, scalable server side implementations and maximize web client flexibility for rapidly meeting evolving product requirements
  • Write robust code that’s efficient, easy to read, maintain and test

About You:

  • 5+ years of experience in product engineering with 2 years as a TL/M
  • BA/BS in computer science, or related degree
  • Experience of building and shipping scalable features across frontend and backend
  • Thrive in a customer-focused, tight-knit and cross-functional environment
  • A proactive and positive attitude to lead, learn, troubleshoot and take ownership of both small tasks and large features
  • A user-centric and empathetic mentality for building products
  • Experience on a consumer grade web app frontend, preferably React based
  • Love authoring easy-to-hold and future-proof REST APIs, OpenAPI is a plus
  • Experience building distributed CRUD level functionality, ideally both SQL and NoSQL
  • Comfortable in or desire to master Golang, Java and TypeScript
