About the Role:
Glean is seeking a Design Engineer to join our core product engineering team. You'll sit at the intersection of product design and frontend engineering, owning the craft and polish of the Glean experience end to end. This is a rare role: beyond hands-on UI work, you'll build an AI-forward design system — encoding our design language as rules, components, and agent-consumable skills so that every engineer (and every coding agent) at Glean ships products that look and feel world-class. You'll partner closely with our design team while reporting into engineering.
You will:
- Design and build polished, high-craft product experiences across Glean's web, desktop, and mobile apps — from micro-interactions and motion to full feature surfaces
- Evolve Glean's design system: components, tokens, usage rules, and documentation
- Make our design system AI-ready — author the rules, linting, and guidelines that let AI coding agents correctly use design-system components and follow best practices
- Build a "product design skill" for coding agents, encoding Glean's design judgment so quality scales with every engineer shipping product
- Set the bar for frontend craft on the team through prototypes, code review, and hands-on collaboration with designers and engineers
- Rapidly prototype interaction and motion concepts to resolve design questions in code rather than specs
About you:
- 5+ years of experience spanning product design and frontend engineering (or exceptional depth in one with strong fluency in the other)
- Expert in modern web UI: TypeScript, React, CSS; strong instincts for motion, interaction detail, and accessibility
- Experience building or maintaining a design system at scale — components, tokens, governance, and adoption
- Excited about AI-assisted development; you've used coding agents and have opinions on how to make them produce high-quality UI
- A portfolio demonstrating exceptional visual and interaction craft
- Self-directed: you identify polish gaps and fix them without waiting for a spec
Location:
- This role is hybrid (4 days a week in either our San Francisco or Mountain View office)
Compensation & Benefits:
The standard base salary range for this position is $115,000 - $190,000 annually. Compensation offered will be determined by factors such as location, level, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. Certain roles may be eligible for variable compensation, equity, and benefits.
We offer a comprehensive benefits package including competitive compensation, Medical, Vision, and Dental coverage, generous time-off policy, and the opportunity to contribute to your 401k plan to support your long-term goals. When you join, you'll receive a home office improvement stipend, as well as an annual education and wellness stipends to support your growth and wellbeing. We foster a vibrant company culture through regular events, and provide healthy lunches daily to keep you fueled and focused.
We are a diverse bunch of people and we want to continue to attract and retain a diverse range of people into our organization. We're committed to an inclusive and diverse company. We do not discriminate based on gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, civil or family status, age, disability, or race.
