About the Role
About the Role:
Glean is seeking a talented Resident Solutions Architect to join our rapidly expanding, venture-backed startup. In this role, you will serve as the strategic technical advisor for a small set of Glean’s most important Enterprise and Strategic customers, where architecture, integration, governance, and production-readiness demands are high. You will act as the named technical owner for each account, guiding long-term architecture decisions, shaping advanced workflows into production, and aligning technical plans to measurable customer outcomes. This is the strategic technical layer in the engagement team - not a reactive support role or generic project coordination role.
You will:
-
Serve as the primary strategic technical advisor and point of contact for assigned customers, operating as the technical counterpart to the customer relationship.
-
Own the technical account strategy for assigned customers, including quarterly technical roadmap reviews, technical operating reviews, and executive technical alignment.
-
Develop and maintain strategic technical roadmaps aligned to customer business objectives, implementation milestones, and measurable technical success criteria.
-
Lead technical decision-making and architecture review workshops, documenting recommendations, trade-offs, supported patterns, and ownership.
-
Guide customers through architecture, design, and implementation choices across connectors, MCP, actions, APIs, SDKs, custom UI embeds, and agent workflows.
-
Productionize advanced customer workflows by defining evals, governance, observability, guardrails, and production-readiness requirements before broad rollout.
-
Design and deliver, or lead the design and delivery of, strategic technical builds such as Skills, Actions, MCP servers, custom connectors, Web SDK integrations, Client API integrations, and embedded experiences.
-
Partner with Solutions Architects as the execution layer when scoped implementation work should be delegated, while remaining accountable for the overall technical direction and customer outcomes.
-
Provide technical enablement to customer admins, developers, and technical stakeholders so they can operate, extend, and support Glean effectively in their environment.
-
Align technical plans with Customer Success, AI Outcomes Managers, Account teams, Product, Engineering, and Support so the customer has one coherent technical narrative.
-
Translate recurring customer friction, deployment blockers, and enterprise requirements into engineering-ready product feedback with clear business impact and technical context.
-
Serve as a recognized advisor to executives, Product, and R&D on enterprise customer reality, solution design, and platform trade-offs for high-value customer motions.
