About the Role

Glean is seeking a lead engineer to drive the billing and revenue platform that powers Glean’s consumption-based pricing for our AI products. As a lead engineer, you will provide deep technical leadership and own critical parts of the billing stack end-to-end. You will work closely with Product, Finance, Data, and Go-To-Market to ensure AI features are accurately metered, transparently billed, and margin-positive. You will help design abstractions that make it easy and safe for product teams to integrate with billing — from logging usage to surfacing billing insights in the admin console.

Responsibilities

• Act as the technical lead for key initiatives across the billing and revenue platform.
• Work hands-on to design and implement systems for usage metering, pricing logic, credits, and admin-facing billing dashboards.
• Provide technical leadership and vision across a broad billing surface area, spanning data pipelines, backend services, and web UX.
• Drive the evolution of consumption / Flex pricing infrastructure with a high bar for correctness, reliability, and debuggability.
• Partner with Finance, Pricing, RevOps, and Product to translate pricing strategy into robust technical designs and workflows.
• Define and maintain guardrails for LLM and agent costs (limits, anomaly detection, margin monitoring) so product teams can ship AI features confidently.
• Raise engineering quality through design reviews, code reviews, and mentoring other engineers.

Requirements

• 5+ years of industry software engineering experience, including 2 years as a tech lead or lead engineer on complex projects.
• Experience building platforms and web interfaces, including frontend, APIs, and backend services.
• Meaningful experience with billing, payments, pricing, or other revenue-critical systems (usage-based or subscription); or experience building similarly high-integrity, auditable systems.
• Strong ability to drive technical direction, make tradeoffs explicit, and align cross-functional stakeholders.
• Owner mindset and excitement about working in a product-focused environment with attention to customer and business impact.
• Expertise in Golang, Java, TypeScript, and SQL is highly desirable.
• Experience with or desire to learn large language models, retrieval augmented generation, agents, and their cost structures is beneficial.

Location

This role is hybrid (4 days a week in our San Francisco office).

Compensation & Benefits

• Standard base salary range: $210,000 - $260,000 annually. Final compensation will be determined by factors such as location, level, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. Some roles may be eligible for variable compensation, equity, and benefits.
• Benefits include Medical, Vision, and Dental coverage, generous time-off policy, 401(k) contribution opportunity, home office improvement stipend, annual education and wellness stipends, regular company events, and daily lunches.
