Salary
💰 $200,000 - $260,000 per year
About the role
- Design, architect, and build near production‑ready solutions on top of Glean that partners can implement with customers (not just demos or POCs).
- Own the end‑to‑end architecture for partner solutions—from data sources and integrations to configuration, security, and user experience.
- Automate deployments of those solutions using infrastructure‑as‑code, configuration templates, and repeatable playbooks so partners can roll out solutions consistently across customers.
- Build and maintain tools, templates, and documentation (reference architectures, example code, runbooks, best practices) that partners can reuse across engagements.
- Serve as the primary technical advisor and solution owner for a set of strategic partners (GSIs, ISVs, and other key partners working with CSPs).
- Lead architecture reviews, whiteboarding sessions, demos, technical workshops, and training with partner and customer technical stakeholders.
- Provide training and enablement so partner technical teams can independently deploy, manage, and extend Glean‑based solutions.
- Conduct go‑to‑market and addressable market analysis for Innovation Lab solutions—sizing opportunities, understanding target segments, and identifying where Glean + partner offerings have the strongest market fit.
- Work with partners to build business cases for new solutions, including value narratives, impact hypotheses, and ROI framing.
- Identify opportunities with partners and customers to expand Glean adoption through repeatable solution patterns and packaged offerings.
- Align technical plans with GTM priorities, partnering closely with Partnerships, Sales, Product, and Engineering to ensure solutions are both technically sound and commercially impactful.
- Collaborate with Product Management and Engineering, providing data‑driven feedback and use cases to drive improvements to the product that unlock new solution patterns for partners.
- Work with Sales, Customer Success, Support, and Solutions Engineering to ensure Innovation Lab solutions are understandable, supportable, and aligned with our broader customer motion.
- Assist with issue identification, troubleshooting, and remediation for Innovation Lab solutions through resolution, working closely with internal teams as needed.
- Think like a Product Manager, Architect, and GTM strategist—while being as hands‑on as an FDE—as you own and build a robust, partner‑led solutions roadmap.

- Strong software development experience in modern languages such as Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Go (or similar), with the ability to read, write, and review code for solution building and automation.

- Solid understanding of networking concepts across cloud and on‑premise environments.
- Experience in at least two of the following disciplines: Software Engineering, Pre‑Sales Engineering, Post‑Sales Engineering, Professional Services, Support Engineering.
