Job Description
About Glean:
Glean is the Work AI platform that helps everyone work smarter with AI. What began as the industry’s most advanced enterprise search has evolved into a full-scale Work AI ecosystem, powering intelligent Search, an AI Assistant, and scalable AI agents on one secure, open platform. With over 100 enterprise SaaS connectors, flexible LLM choice, and robust APIs, Glean gives organizations the infrastructure to govern, scale, and customize AI across their entire business - without vendor lock-in or costly implementation cycles.
At its core, Glean is redefining how enterprises find, use, and act on knowledge. Its Enterprise Graph and Personal Knowledge Graph map the relationships between people, content, and activity, delivering deeply personalized, context-aware responses for every employee. This foundation powers Glean’s agentic capabilities - AI agents that automate real work across teams by accessing the industry’s broadest range of data: enterprise and world, structured and unstructured, historical and real-time. The result: measurable business impact through faster onboarding, hours of productivity gained each week, and smarter, safer decisions at every level.
Recognized by Fast Company as one of the World’s Most Innovative Companies (Top 10, 2025), by CNBC’s Disruptor 50, Bloomberg’s AI Startups to Watch (2026), Forbes AI 50, and Gartner’s Tech Innovators in Agentic AI, Glean continues to accelerate its global impact.

You'll be deeply embedded where people get things done. You'll ship agentic capabilities on an open, extensible stack, with the craft and care required for enterprise trust, as we bring Work AI to every employee, in every company.
About the Role:
Glean is looking for an experienced Application Security Engineer with a primary focus on ensuring that our entire technology stack is free of software vulnerabilities (CVEs). This role is responsible for securing our base OS images, ensuring all open-source software (OSS) dependencies are scanned and patched, and integrating cutting-edge security tools into our CI/CD pipeline. The ideal candidate will drive the adoption of solutions like Google’s Assured Open Source Software (OSS) and explore alternative approaches to enhance software security. This role will lead the vulnerability management charter at Glean, identifying, evaluating, and implementing new security technologies and processes to proactively protect our infrastructure.
You will:
- Own the vulnerability management lifecycle across Glean’s technology stack, from discovery and prioritization through remediation, reporting, and measurement.
-
Harden base OS images and secure open-source dependencies, package managers, and the broader software supply chain.
-
Integrate SAST, DAST, dependency scanning, and automated security validation into CI/CD pipelines.
-
Evaluate, adopt, and develop security solutions and tooling, including Google’s Assured OSS and comparable approaches.
-
Define secure-coding practices and drive engineering adoption through guidance, training, and mentorship.
About you:
- BA/BS in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or a related field (or equivalent industry experience).
- 8+ years of experience in application security and vulnerability management.
- Deep understanding of software security vulnerabilities, including CVEs, OWASP Top 10, and supply chain risks.
- Experience with SAST, DAST, dependency scanning, and vulnerability management tools (e.g., Snyk, GitHub Dependabot, Trivy, Clair, Burp Suite, OWASP ZAP).
- Hands-on experience with cloud-native security across AWS, GCP, including containers, Kubernetes, and microservices.
- Ability to lead cross-functional initiatives and drive security adoption across engineering teams.
- Proactive, pragmatic, and collaborative, with strong problem-solving skills and the ability to balance security with performance and usability.
