## Description

We're hiring a Tech Lead for our Admin Console team to engineer one of the most important product surfaces at Glean: the admin experience that helps customers deploy, govern, and scale Glean across their organizations. This is a high-impact, full-stack role for an engineer who can guide architecture, partner deeply with product and design, and grow a small but strategically important team. The Admin Console is the control plane for enterprise activation, admin confidence, and scalable rollout. Admins use it to configure authentication, data sources, permissions, governance, search settings, AI features, and deployment health from a self-serve central hub. As Glean evolves from a search company into an AI platform, this team's mission is evolving too: from managing data sources to helping admins manage the broader context layer of the system, including actions, live data, governance, and AI configuration.

You will:

 * Lead and grow the Admin Console engineering team, owning strong technical direction.
 * Own architecture and execution for core admin-facing workflows including data source setup, security configuration, deployment management, and feature rollout controls.
 * Partner closely with Product and Design to simplify complex enterprise workflows and make the admin experience more intuitive and scalable.
 * Help evolve the Admin Console from a system centered on crawlers and data setup into a broader control plane for enterprise context, actions, governance, and AI capability management.
 * Improve self-serve activation so admins can get their organizations up and running faster, with less dependency on human support.
 * Improve visibility into crawl health, connector status, indexing progress, permissions, and rollout readiness so admins can confidently understand what is happening in their deployment.
 * Build systems and workflows that help admins safely scale Glean across users, teams, and capabilities over time through a coherent interface.
 * Collaborate deeply with backend, connector, infra, and security teams to deliver unified admin experiences that sit on top of platform and infrastructure layers.
