Software Engineer, Storage

• You’ll own the storage systems that handle Glean’s most sensitive data — from enterprise documents and permission hierarchies to user behavioral signals and real-time query path data.
• Your work will directly enable organizations at scale to discover and act on their critical knowledge, supporting millions of searches, chat interactions, and agent workflows.
• You’ll deliver robust uptime guarantees, autoscaling, and reliable alerting/monitoring for a key component that runs across multiple cloud providers.
• As part of the Storage team, you’ll be responsible for a critical piece of Glean’s infrastructure, working closely with several other teams to support their workloads.
• You’ll also work across the stack to abstract cloud differences, reduce human intervention through self-healing systems, and drive real business impact by enabling Glean’s ever-growing scale.

You will:

• Own impactful infrastructure problems from inception and architecture to production launch
• Write well thought out design documents and robust, high-quality and well-tested code
• Work collaboratively with a strong team to identify the most impactful projects we should be prioritizing in our roadmap
• Mentor more junior engineers or learn from battle tested ones
• 5+ years of experience
• BA/BS in computer science, or related degree
• Experience working on infrastructure for distributed systems or cloud-native applications
• Experience with storage systems (e.g., databases, object stores, or distributed file systems)
• 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
• Strong coding skills (for example in Go/Python/Java/C++ etc) with an emphasis on designing for reliability and scale, and writing well-tested components
• Familiarity with cloud native development practices in GCP/AWS/Azure is a plus
• This role is hybrid (4 days a week in our Mountain View office)
