About the role
- We’re hiring a Tech Lead Manager of the Admin Console team to lead one of the most important product surfaces at Glean: the admin experience that helps customers deploy, govern, and scale Glean across their organizations
- This is a high-impact, full-stack leadership role for an engineering leader who can guide architecture, partner deeply with product and design, and grow a small but strategically important team
- The Admin Console is the control plane for enterprise activation, admin confidence, and scalable rollout
- Admins use it to configure authentication, data sources, permissions, governance, search settings, AI features, and deployment health from a self-serve central hub
- As Glean evolves from a search company into an AI platform, this team’s mission is evolving too: from managing data sources to helping admins manage the broader context layer of the system, including actions, live data, governance, and AI configuration
- Lead and grow the Admin Console engineering team, providing both people leadership and strong technical direction
- Own architecture and execution for core admin-facing workflows including data source setup, security configuration, deployment management, and feature rollout controls
- Partner closely with Product and Design to simplify complex enterprise workflows and make the admin experience more intuitive and scalable
- Help evolve the Admin Console from a system centered on crawlers and data setup into a broader control plane for enterprise context, actions, governance, and AI capability management
- Improve self-serve activation so admins can get their organizations up and running faster, with less dependency on human support
- Improve visibility into crawl health, connector status, indexing progress, permissions, and rollout readiness so admins can confidently understand what is happening in their deployment
- Build systems and workflows that help admins safely scale Glean across users, teams, and capabilities over time through a coherent interface
- Collaborate deeply with backend, connector, infra, and security teams to deliver unified admin experiences that sit on top of platform and infrastructure layers
- You have experience building enterprise SaaS, enterprise platform, admin console, or similarly configurable product experiences
- Strong coding skills in at least one of: Python, Go, Java, C++, Javascript
- 1+ years of engineering management experience of a full stack team
- Ownership‑driven with a positive, proactive attitude; comfortable leading projects or learning from battle‑tested engineers
- Strong cross-functional collaboration skills and comfort partnering with product, design, security, and platform teams
- Experience working on products where usability, governance, permissions, and technical complexity all matter
- Experience mentoring engineers with different technical strengths, including frontend and backend team members
- BS/BA in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent practical experience
- Ability to operate in ambiguity and shape roadmap, architecture, and team execution in a fast-moving environment
- 8+ years of software engineering experience building production distributed systems or cloud‑native applications
- Product‑minded: you prioritize customer impact, clear SLAs/SLOs, and pragmatic iteration
