The company’s cutting‑edge AI technology simplifies knowledge discovery, making it faster and more efficient for teams to leverage their collective intelligence.

Glean was born from Founder & CEO Arvind Jain’s deep understanding of the challenges employees face in finding and understanding information ing firsthand how fragmented knowledge and sprawling SaaS tools made it difficult to stay productive, he set out to build a better way – an AI-powered enterprise search platform that helps people quickly and intuitively access the information they need.

Since then, Glean has evolved into the leading Work AI platform, combining enterprise‑grade search, an AI assistant, and powerful application‑ and agent‑building capabilities to fundamentally redefine how employees work.

Glean is seeking a Partner Innovation Architect to help build out our new Partner Innovation Lab function and accelerate how our partners design, build, and scale near production‑ready solutions on top of Glean. You’ll operate at the intersection of architecture, product, and go‑to‑market—owning end‑to‑end technical solutions, automating deployments, and shaping a reusable catalog of patterns that partners can take to market at scale.
