Software Engineer, Context Platform

You will:

• Design, build, and evolve SDKs and client libraries that developers use to integrate with Glean from their own applications and agent frameworks.
• Own and advance agent-focused tooling and SDKs (including MCP and related integrations) so external frameworks, IDEs, and agents can easily and reliably call into Glean.
• Build custom platform context services and actions such as Code Search, Code Writer, and Memory that power rich experiences across apps.
• Define and maintain standards and conventions for Glean’s public REST APIs (resource design, versioning, errors, deprecations) and provide the OpenAPI schemas, tools, and CI checks that other teams use.
• Collaborate with Security to design and operate authentication and authorization flows for developer scenarios (e.g., OAuth2/OIDC, dynamic client registration, service-to-service auth).
• Design features as reusable platform primitives on top of Glean’s horizontal layers (connectors, security/governance, knowledge graph, memory, model orchestration).

About you:

• BA/BS in computer science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 1+ years of industry software engineering experience.
• Experience building and shipping backend and/or platform systems that are used in production.
• 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.
• Thrive in a customer-focused, tight-knit, 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.
• Familiarity with cloud-native development practices in GCP/AWS/Azure is a plus.
