Role
Who you are
- 2+ years of experience
- BA/BS in computer science, math, sciences, or a related degree
- Experience working with search, recommendation, natural language processing, or other large systems involving machine learning
- Strong analytical skills and ability to work with data
- Proven ability to design, build, and ship production-ready models
- Proficiency in your ML framework of choice
- Strong coding skills (Python, Go, Java, C++, ...)
- Thrive in a customer-focused, tight-knit and cross-functional environment - being a team player and willing to take on whatever is most impactful for the company is a must
- A proactive and positive attitude to lead, learn, troubleshoot and take ownership of both small tasks and large features
What the job involves
- Glean is looking for engineers to help build the world’s best search and assistant product for work
- Invent new signals to improve the personalization of our search engine
- Train a model to capture interactions between signals in our ranking system
- Design smarter ways to domain-adapt language models to each customer’s corpus
- Discover new ways of combining LLMs with search engines to answer complex questions
- Write robust code that’s easy to read, maintain, and test
- Mentor more junior engineers, or learn from battle-tested ones
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.
