Glean is a Work AI platform that helps enterprises deploy, govern, and scale AI across their organizations. The company has evolved from an enterprise search solution into a full-scale AI ecosystem, powering intelligent search, AI assistants, and scalable AI agents on a secure, open platform. With over 100 enterprise SaaS connectors and flexible LLM choice, Glean serves customers across 50+ industries with 1,000+ employees globally.
You will lead and grow the Admin Console engineering team, owning strong technical direction and architecture for one of Glean's most critical product surfaces. The Admin Console is the control plane where enterprise admins configure authentication, data sources, permissions, governance, search settings, AI features, and deployment health. As Glean evolves from search into a broader AI platform, this team's mission is expanding to help admins manage the context layer of the system, including actions, live data, governance, and AI configuration.
Key responsibilities include:
- Leading and growing the Admin Console engineering team with strong technical direction
- Owning architecture and execution for core admin workflows: data source setup, security configuration, deployment management, and feature rollout controls
- Partnering closely with Product and Design to simplify complex enterprise workflows and improve usability
- Evolving the Admin Console from a data-setup-focused system into a broader control plane for enterprise context, actions, governance, and AI capability management
- Improving self-serve activation so admins can deploy faster with less support dependency
- Enhancing visibility into crawl health, connector status, indexing progress, permissions, and rollout readiness
- Building systems that help admins safely scale Glean across users, teams, and capabilities through a coherent interface
- Collaborating with backend, connector, infrastructure, and security teams to deliver unified admin experiences
This is a full-stack role requiring someone who can guide architecture, partner deeply with cross-functional teams, and grow a strategically important team in a fast-moving environment.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 7+ years of software engineering experience building production distributed systems or cloud-native applications
- BS/BA in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent practical experience
- Strong coding skills in at least one of: Python, Go, Java, C++, JavaScript
- Product-minded with focus on customer impact, clear SLAs/SLOs, and pragmatic iteration
- Ownership-driven with positive, proactive attitude; comfortable leading projects
- Experience building enterprise SaaS, enterprise platform, admin console, or similarly configurable product experiences
- Experience working on products where usability, governance, permissions, and technical complexity all matter
- Experience mentoring engineers with different technical strengths, including frontend and backend team members
- Ability to operate in ambiguity and shape roadmap, architecture, and team execution in fast-moving environment
- Strong cross-functional collaboration skills and comfort partnering with product, design, security, and platform teams
