- Build custom platform context services and actions such as Code Search, Code Writer, and Memory that power rich experiences across apps
- Define and maintain standards and conventions for Glean’s public REST APIs (resource design, versioning, errors, deprecations) and provide the OpenAPI schemas, tools, and CI checks that other teams use when building and evolving endpoints
- Collaborate with Security to design and operate authentication and authorization flows for developer scenarios (e.g., OAuth2/OIDC, dynamic client registration, service‑to‑service auth)
- Design features as reusable platform primitives on top of Glean’s horizontal layers (connectors, security/governance, knowledge graph, memory, model orchestration) so they can be reused by internal teams and partners
