To expand human potential to do extraordinary work.
Role
Who you are
- 5+ years in TPM, PM, or Engineering, with 3+ years leading complex B2B SaaS or cloud infrastructure programs
- Deep experience in large-scale distributed data pipelines and enterprise identity/security constraints
- Experience with AI/ML, data pipelines, and API integrations
- Proven ability to turn ambiguous problems into clear roadmaps, influence architectural designs with staff engineers, and lead rigorous operating rhythms like design reviews and post-mortems
- Excellent written and verbal communication: able to write crisp technical program docs and status updates, and comfortable presenting trade‑offs and recommendations to engineering and product leadership
- A builder mindset and high ownership: willing to get into logs, dashboards, and traces; comfortable defining new processes and iterating quickly based on what you learn in production
Desirable
- First hand experience building MCP Servers across various SaaS Services
What the job involves
- Glean is seeking a Connector TPM to build the "pipes" that feed the Glean Enterprise graph
- This requires balancing the high-level product vision with the deep technical constraints of distributed crawling, rate-limiting, and data security
- Own multi‑quarter programs across our highest‑impact connectors (Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Slack, Atlassian, Salesforce, GitHub, etc.) and the platform capabilities that power all connectors
- Work closely with tech leads and architects on system design, scalability, and reliability of our connectors stack
- Design the operating model and technical roadmap that allows us to scale from dozens to hundreds of high‑quality connectors without linear increases in operational burden
- Technical Leadership: Lead design reviews to balance immediate customer needs with long-term platform scalability
- Operational Excellence: Drive connector reliability by setting strict SLOs for data freshness and error rates. Build the telemetry and root-cause culture needed to shift from reactive fixes to proactive, high-uptime operations
- Lifecycle Management: Manage the full connector lifecycle from intake and compliance to GTM launch
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.
