Software Engineer, Native Mobile at Glean in San Francisco, CA

About the Role:

Glean is seeking a Senior Software Engineer, Mobile, to accelerate our development of fully native apps for iOS and Android. Today our apps wrap the web app; you will replace them with native Swift/SwiftUI and Kotlin/Jetpack Compose apps, harnessing AI to deliver a new refined and polished mobile experience. You will be responsible for setting strong technical foundations for these new codebases.

You will:

Build the apps

• Build and ship native iOS and Android apps in Swift/SwiftUI and Kotlin/Jetpack Compose.
• Ship user-facing features end to end: search, AI assistant, agents, notifications, and OS integrations such as widgets, App Intents, share extensions, live voice modes and more.
• Build experiences that feel native on each platform, following Apple's Human Interface Guidelines and Google’s Material Design, with strong accessibility, performance, and offline behavior.
• Define the mobile architecture: module boundaries, networking, persistence, concurrency, observability, and performance budgets.

Build the infrastructure

• Own mobile CI/CD: automated builds and tests, code signing, TestFlight and Play Store deployment, phased rollouts, and release health monitoring.
• Set up an AI-native development workflow: an agent-friendly repo, automated test generation, AI-assisted review, and tooling that lets coding agents build, run, and verify mobile changes.

Own enterprise readiness

• Build, sign, and ship enterprise app variants with their own configuration and distribution requirements.
• Own mobile authentication end to end: OAuth 2.0/PKCE, OIDC/SAML SSO, secure token and session handling, and identity-provider policies such as conditional access and device trust.
• Make the apps work in managed and BYOD environments: MDM, MAM, managed app configuration, app protection policies, and Android Enterprise work profiles.
• Design admin-controlled data protection (downloads, sharing, copy/paste, screenshots) with Security and Admin teams, and emit reliable audit events for customer security tooling.
• Represent mobile in enterprise security reviews and validate behavior on real managed and unmanaged devices.

About you:

• 6+ years of software engineering experience, with 4+ years shipping production mobile apps on both iOS and Android.
• Proficiency in Swift or Kotlin with working knowledge of the other, and willingness to develop cross-platform fluency, as you will be responsible for both iOS and Android.
• You have owned mobile CI/CD pipelines and release infrastructure (e.g. Fastlane, Xcode Cloud, GitHub Actions, Gradle, code signing, staged rollouts).
• You use AI coding tools daily to ship faster without lowering the quality bar, and have opinions on structuring a codebase and toolchain so agents work in it effectively.
• Experience with mobile auth: OAuth 2.0/PKCE, OIDC/SAML, MSAL, ASWebAuthenticationSession / Custom Tabs, Keychain and Android Keystore.
• Experience shipping OS integrations (widgets, App Intents / Shortcuts, extensions, background work) on at least one platform.
• Startup mindset: comfortable owning problems end to end, from infra to pixels, in an ambiguous environment.
• Nice to have: migrating a hybrid or cross-platform app to native; shipping in MDM/MAM-managed enterprise environments.

Location:

• This role is hybrid (4 days a week in our Mountain View or San Francisco office)
