    Description
    About Glean

    We're on a mission to make knowledge work faster and more humane. We believe that AI will fundamentally transform how people work.

    In the future, everyone will work in tandem with expert AI assistants who find knowledge, create and synthesize information, and execute work.

    These assistants will free people up to focus on the higher-level, creative aspects of their work.
    We're building a system of intelligence for every company in the world. On the surface, you can think of it as Google + ChatGPT for the enterprise. Under the hood, our platform is the connective tissue between AI and knowledge.

    It brings all of a company's knowledge together, understands it at a deep level, provides industry-leading search relevance over it, and connects it to generative AI agents and applications.


    Glean was founded by a seasoned team of former Google search and Facebook engineers who saw a need in the enterprise space for their technical depth and passion for AI.

    We're a diverse team of curious and creative people who want to help each other get big things done-so we can help other teams do the same.

    We're backed by some of the Valley's leading venture capitalists-including Sequoia, Kleiner Perkins, Lightspeed, and General Catalyst-and have assembled a world-class team with senior leadership experience at Google, Slack, Facebook, Dropbox, Rubrik, Uber, Intercom, Pinterest, Palantir, and others.

    Role


    Glean is looking for Backend/Infrastructure engineers to build a highly performant, scalable, secure, permissions-aware system that makes all the relevant enterprise knowledge readily available to employees in all contexts of their work.

    The role provides ample opportunities to work on various aspects of building a modern cloud-native application stack using the latest best practices - examples of some technical challenges you can work on are building a scalable, reliable distributed system and underlying storage, a unified application framework and data model that makes it easy to index diverse sources of information, end-to-end aspects of security - application layer, platform layer as well as IT security, laser focus on making the experience feel instant, while at the same time balancing the system cost implications, and tooling for comprehensive monitoring and deployment of the system in multiple cloud environments.
