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. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 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
