What began as the industry’s most advanced enterprise search has evolved into a full-scale Work AI ecosystem, powering intelligent Search, an AI Assistant, and scalable AI agents on one secure, open platform. With over 100 enterprise SaaS connectors, flexible LLM choice, and robust APIs, Glean gives organizations the infrastructure to govern, scale, and customize AI across their entire business - without vendor lock-in or costly implementation cycles.\nAt its core, Glean is redefining how enterprises find, use, and act on knowledge. Its Enterprise Graph and Personal Knowledge Graph map the relationships between people, content, and activity, delivering deeply personalized, context-aware responses for every employee. This foundation powers Glean’s agentic capabilities - AI agents that automate real work across teams by accessing the industry’s broadest range of data: enterprise and world, structured and unstructured, historical and real-time. The result: measurable business impact through faster onboarding, hours of productivity gained each week, and smarter, safer decisions at every level.\nRecognized by Fast Company as one of the World’s Most Innovative Companies (Top 10, 2025), by CNBC’s Disruptor 50, Bloomberg’s AI Startups to Watch (2026), Forbes AI 50, and Gartner’s Tech Innovators in Agentic AI, Glean continues to accelerate its global impact. With customers across 50+ industries and 1,000+ employees in more than 25 countries, we’re helping the world’s largest organizations make every employee AI-fluent, and turning the superintelligent enterprise from concept into reality.\nIf you’re excited to shape how the world works, you’ll help build systems used daily across Microsoft Teams, Zoom, ServiceNow, Zendesk, GitHub, and many more - deeply embedded where people get things done. You’ll ship agentic capabilities on an open, extensible stack, with the craft and care required for enterprise trust, as we bring Work AI to every employee, in every company.\nAbout the Role:\nWe are looking for a Software Engineer to join Glean’s Data Foundations team — the group that owns the end-to-end data ingestion and management layer powering Glean’s Search, AI Assistant, and Agent products across thousands of enterprise apps and billions of documents. Your work will directly determine the quality, freshness, and trustworthiness of the knowledge that every Glean user interacts with every day.\nYou will work on:\nBuild and scale connectors to a wide variety of SaaS and on-prem systems (Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Slack, Salesforce, Jira, ServiceNow, GitHub, etc.).\nHandle full syncs, low-latency incremental updates via webhooks/APIs, rate-limiting, and complex authentication flows.\nBuild advanced capabilities in datasources like actions, live-fetch, and query language support.\nTransform raw, unstructured enterprise content into rich, structured, permission-aware representations optimized for search and LLM reasoning.\nDesign document schemas and enrichment pipelines (entity extraction, access-graph propagation, redactions, etc.).\nExpand the capabilities of AI products through deep integrations that allow us to automate tasks, perform complex queries grounded in enterprise data, and enhance our indexed corpus with live data.\nOwn end-to-end correctness, freshness, and performance for petabyte-scale data flows.\nSolve hard problems in ordering, idempotency, exactly-once processing, backpressure, and retries across distributed queues, workers, and storage.\nPreserve fine-grained ACLs, deletions, and sensitivity constraints so AI answers are always grounded in what users are actually allowed to see.\nPartner closely with Search Serving, Product, Platforms, and Security teams to define how enterprise context is exposed to LLMs and agents.\nContinuously improve observability, alerting, and automation to onboard larger customers and more data sources with confidence.\nAbout you:\n3+ years building production backend or data infrastructure systems (Java, Go, C++, Python, etc.).\nHands-on experience with distributed systems, data pipelines, queues, and large-scale storage (SQL/NoSQL).\nYou think in SLOs, error budgets, failure modes, and correctness guarantees — not just features.\nComfortable with strict consistency and permission-modeling challenges.\nPrior work on enterprise connectors, search/indexing, information retrieval, or security-sensitive systems is a strong plus.\nPassionate about making AI trustworthy by building the rock-solid data foundation underneath it.\nPower user of LLMs and AI tools in your own workflow.\nLocation:\nThis role is hybrid (4 days a week in either our San Francisco or Mountain View office)\nCompensation & Benefits:\nThe standard base salary range for this position is $180,000 - $300,000 annually.
