Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of industry software engineering experience, including meaningful ownership of production services or analytics systems
- Strong experience building backend services and APIs in one or more of: Golang, Java, Typescript, or Python, and comfort jumping across the stack when needed (from data pipelines to APIs to web UX)
- Proficiency in SQL and experience working with modern data warehouses or analytics stacks
What the job involves
- We're seeking a software engineer to join the Insights team within the Billing and Insights charter that underpins Glean's consumption-based pricing, product analytics and user targeting
- This team owns the end-to-end stack that makes our AI products explainable and measurable for customers and internal teams—from logging and usage pipelines to Insights dashboards, self-serve logs, user targeting platform and natural language query(NLQ)-powered agents on top of our data warehouse
- As an SWE on this team, you'll design and build data pipelines, backend services, and customer-facing experiences that make Glean's value visible and trustworthy
- You'll work closely with Product, Data Science, Finance, Marketing and Go-To-Market to ensure that every metric we show is accurate, auditable, and aligned across internal and external views
- Design and implement reliable data pipelines and services that summarize deployment log data into daily user-, team-, department-, and agent-level metrics powering the Insights dashboards
- Build and evolve backend APIs and services that sit between our product logs, warehouses, and the Insights UI, with a high bar for correctness, debuggability, and latency
- Contribute to the NLQ for Insights initiative by extending the agentic loop and tool library over our Insights warehouse so moderators and admins can ask natural-language questions and get accurate, explainable answers
- Build user targeting platform for marketing and growth campaigns
- Improve observability, alerting, and backfill workflows for Insights jobs so metric issues are caught early and resolved safely via idempotent backfills
- Partner with Pricing, Finance, Data, Marketing and Product to keep internal dashboards and external Insights views aligned on core definitions (e.g., active users, assistant and agent usage, utilization) and to support usage-based pricing and renewals
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 emerged from stealth in 2021, it received a $1B valuation in early 2022, thus achieving unicorn status. Since then, the company has gone on to raise substantial funding and bring its valuation up to $7.2B in 2025. With this impressive growth, its secured some big name customers like 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. And its adaptability to include new AI capabilities to its platform, such as generative AI, has Glean well set to see further growth.
