Scored from the posting itself — how clearly the role is described, how much it says about pay and benefits, and how recently it was listed. Not a judgement of Glean as an employer.

What you need

  • BA/BS in computer science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
  • 8+ years of industry software engineering experience, with meaningful time spent building and shipping public-facing APIs or developer platforms in production
  • Deep fluency in REST API design principles: versioning, backward compatibility, pagination, error semantics, hypermedia, and OpenAPI/JSON Schema
  • Proficiency in at least one modern backend language (ideally Golang, or strong interest in learning it); experience with TypeScript, Python, and/or Java is a plus
  • Ability to thrive in a customer-focused, tight-knit, cross-functional environment
  • Proactive and positive attitude to lead, learn, troubleshoot, and take ownership of tasks and features

What you get

  • Standard base salary range of $210,000 - $300,000 annually
  • Variable compensation, equity, and benefits may be available
  • Comprehensive benefits package including Medical, Vision, and Dental coverage
  • Generous time-off policy
  • 401k plan contributions
  • Home office improvement stipend

Worth weighing

  • Role is hybrid, requiring 4 days a week in the Mountain View office
  • No specific mention of the tech stack beyond REST APIs and backend languages
  • Fast-moving startup environment may imply a high-pressure work setting
