Role
Who you are
- We’re looking for someone who has been hands-on applying LLMs and agent frameworks to business transformation
- 4+ years of experience in outbound solutions architecture, with a strong track record of understanding customer requirements, translating them into architectural best practices, and packaging product solutions to customers. You should also have hands-on experience as an engineer
- Deep understanding of AI models, tools and frameworks, and agent development so that you can guide engineering teams in building modern AI solutions
- Passion for communication, storytelling, and technical writing. You bring clarity to complexity and make technical ideas feel exciting, relevant, and actionable
- Insight into how AI engineers think and work—skilled at reaching them through the right channels, fostering genuine product affinity, and designing education programs that drive real adoption
- Empathetic to the engineering experience, with a strategic mindset. You understand how engagement translates into impact and adoption
- Strong technical skills. You can code your own demos, evaluate code quality, and provide actionable technical feedback
- Technically credible. You’re able to grasp complex concepts quickly and explain them clearly to a range of audiences, from individual engineers to enterprise leaders
- Collaborative and influential. You work well across marketing, engineering, and product, helping shape roadmaps based on our customers and the wider community
What the job involves
- Glean is looking for a Senior Solution Architect, APIs to help engineers build internal-facing AI chatbots, agents, and search applications
- You’ll work closely with customers to implement Glean’s APIs and SDKs, then translate those real-world learnings into best practices for the broader AI engineering community
- At Glean, we believe AI apps and agents will live everywhere work happens—and no matter which framework they’re built in, they need to be grounded in enterprise context
- That’s why we take an open, interoperable approach, making it simple to bring enterprise data into every AI app and agent. In this role, you’ll help define and communicate that vision
- You’ll play a key role in taking these learnings and educating the market: crafting messaging that resonates, producing deep technical guides, and publishing thought leadership that defines how enterprise AI apps are built
- Scale 1:1 API learnings across the customer base by turning real-world use cases and design best practices into architecture guides and turnkey solutions
- Cultivate relationships with engineers, technical leaders, and power users—translating their feedback into product insights that strengthen trust and engagement with the Glean platform
- Bring embedded integrations to life by building sample UIs and widgets that can be easily embedded across surfaces
- Evangelize the “Build on Glean” vision through compelling demos, conference talks, meetups, forums, and customer hackathons that showcase real-world value
- Partner cross-functionally with product, engineering, and research teams to translate developer and customer feedback into roadmap priorities and champion the voice of the customer internally
- Empower developers to build with Glean’s APIs and SDKs by creating high-quality code samples, documentation, tutorials, how-to guides, and blog posts that simplify onboarding and showcase best practices
Our take
Glean is an intuitive digital assistant which allows employees to search across all their apps and find the information and tools that they need more quickly.
With so many SaaS apps being used by modern day companies, overwhelm and inefficiency inevitably enter the equation. Glean’s search engine is proving popular for how it unifies and centralizes all these distributed tools and data.
It’s been quite a start to life at Glean, having only emerged from stealth in 2021, it received a $1 Billion valuation in early 2022, thus achieving unicorn status, and has received nearly $400 million in funding so far. The SaaS platform is already used by some major companies including Grammarly, databricks, and Rubrik.
That Glean was co-founded by a quartet with senior experience at Google, Microsoft, Uber, and Facebook stands the company in good stead. However, it’s the fact that its search engine is solving a new, but very real problem in the workplace that’s seen its popularity surge so quickly, which it’s likely to continue to do in the future. Its adaptability to include new AI capabilities to its platform, such as generative AI, has Glean well set to see further growth.
