Partner Solutions Engineer

Glean • San Francisco, CA

6d • $200,000 - $250,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

At Glean, partners are force multipliers. As a Partner Solutions Engineer, you will be a partner-facing technical expert responsible for helping strategic partners across VARs, GSIs, SIs, Cloud Partners, and ISVs, successfully design, deploy, scale, and operationalize Glean across their customer base. This role is designed for someone comfortable leading hands-on workshops and enablement sessions, developing technical solutions, and consulting on complex partner-led services. You will work directly with partner solution architects, delivery teams, product teams, and partner managers to help them build the skills, assets, offerings, and confidence required to establish a durable Glean services practice. Rather than focusing on isolated enablements or individual deals, you will enable partners to support many customers at scale. From that foundation, you will guide partners in delivering post-sales services and production-ready Glean solutions.

• 8+ years in a technical role.
• Experience working with VARs, GSIs, SIs, Cloud Partners, ISVs, or partner delivery organizations.

• Experience creating reusable technical assets such as tutorials, guides, workshops, code labs, reference architectures, and implementation playbooks.
• Experience shaping roadmap or packaging decisions from partner or customer deployment feedback.
• Prior experience in a startup or high-growth environment where you’ve shaped new partner motions, integrations, or GTM plays.

Responsibilities

• Own the technical success of partners across onboarding, deep technical enablement, early production deployments, and scaled delivery motions.
• Lead hands-on technical trainings, deep dives, workshops, and co-build sessions for partner engineers, architects, consultants, and delivery teams.
• Help partners create repeatable service offerings, implementation packages, and reference architectures on top of Glean.

• Build prototypes, reference implementations, samples repos, services patterns, and reusable content that help partners move from concept to working deployment faster.
