About the role
Glean is seeking a Machine Learning Engineer to improve the quality of its AI Assistant and autonomous agents, focusing on production ML, LLM-powered systems, and product engineering to enhance assistant usefulness, reliability, and grounding in enterprise workflows.
Responsibilities
- Build and improve ML and LLM-powered systems that raise the quality of Glean’s AI Assistant and autonomous agents across real user workflows.
- Design evaluation, benchmarking, and monitoring loops to measure assistant quality, model quality, and end-to-end system performance.
- Develop and iterate on signals, prompts, workflows, and model-driven logic that improve reasoning, planning, personalization, and task completion quality.
- Work across areas such as RAG, semantic search, recommendation-style systems, post-training or reinforcement learning, and agent orchestration where they materially improve product outcomes.
- Partner closely with product, design, and engineering teammates to understand customer pain points and ship high-quality production systems quickly.
- Contribute to the data and ML infrastructure needed to support robust experimentation, offline and online evaluation, and continuous model improvement.
Qualifications
- 2+ years of industry experience in machine learning, applied AI, or software engineering with significant ML ownership.
- Strong hands-on coding ability and a track record of shipping production systems, not just prototypes or research projects.

- Comfort working across both modeling and product engineering details, including experimentation, quality measurement, and production iteration.
- Proficiency in common ML tooling and strong software engineering fundamentals in languages such as Python, Go, Java, or C++.
- A pragmatic, product-minded approach. You know when to use sophisticated ML techniques and when simple, reliable systems are the better answer.
