GoSearch, Morphik, Ricursive Intelligence, Guru, Capacity — No hiring signals detected; recommend monitoring LinkedIn job counts
Glean: Machine Learning Engineer, AI Assistant + Autonomous AI Agents (Senior)
Railway Agent Infrastructure → Production AI at Scale
Your Railway agent deployments demonstrate containerized production systems with observability, deployment automation, and multi-environment orchestration. Glean operates under strict enterprise SLAs for search latency and availability — you've already built the infrastructure patterns they need.
Swarm Orchestration → Multi-Agent Coordination
Glean's job description explicitly calls for "multi-step agent orchestration." Your swarm work (conflict resolution, resource management, distributed agent coordination) directly matches this requirement. Most candidates have research projects; you have production swarm systems.
MCP Integration → AI Middleware Expertise
Glean is pivoting to become "the layer beneath the interface" (TechCrunch). MCP work shows protocol-level abstraction, tool integration, and composable AI infrastructure. This is your differentiation lever — most candidates haven't shipped MCP implementations in production yet.
Full-Stack TypeScript/Node → Fullstack Requirements
Glean's fullstack roles and API-first architecture align with your stack. The Insights role signals investment in usage analytics, where your data pipeline experience applies.

Based on REAL MARKET DATA constraints:
If you want to pursue consulting instead, the priority must be:
END OF BRIEF of those specific market segments, since your existing infrastructure and experience don't yet support the compliance requirements. Instead, focus on accumulating case studies and proof points through smaller engagements that can demonstrate ROI before approaching larger enterprises.
The most pragmatic near-term path appears to be unblocking the OAuth issue and diagnosing the proposal rejection rate—these are force multipliers that will clarify whether consulting demand actually exists at scale, or if the market signals are misleading. Once you have even 2-3 successful engagements with metrics, the enterprise conversation becomes materially different.
Based on the live web data, I can confirm that Moveworks is actively hiring for AI-focused engineering roles, though the company was acquired by ServiceNow in March 2025 for $2.85 billion. This represents a significant market moment: the deal valued Moveworks at a 20x-25x ARR multiple, making it one of the largest agentic AI exits to date.
The data shows Moveworks has two primary engineering openings listed across job boards:
Senior Machine Learning Engineer, Agentic AI Systems — This role appears on both the ServiceNow careers portal (careers.servicenow.com) and third-party boards like Dice and Purpose.jobs. The position explicitly targets engineers to expand Moveworks' NLU (Natural Language Understanding) capabilities. The job description emphasizes machine learning expertise combined with software engineering fundamentals, suggesting the company prioritizes candidates who can bridge research and production systems.
Senior Staff Software Engineer, Agentic AI Systems — Listed on Dice, this role indicates Moveworks is seeking more senior individual contributors to drive architectural decisions around agentic AI systems. The emphasis on "Staff" level suggests the company values deep technical leadership beyond code contributions.
While the live data does not provide exhaustive technical stack documentation from Moveworks' engineering blog, the job postings reveal key technology areas the company emphasizes:
The broader market context matters here: according to the live data from KORE1's hiring guide, LLM fine-tuning, retrieval-augmented generation, and agentic AI skills command the biggest premiums and are the hardest to find in 2026. Moveworks is clearly competing for this scarce talent pool.
The live salary data shows AI Agent Engineer positions in the US market ranging from $143,746 to $185,000 annually according to Glassdoor and FlexLab data. For Senior and Staff-level roles at a company of Moveworks' scale (now part of ServiceNow, a $70+ billion enterprise software leader), total compensation packages likely exceed $250,000 when including stock and bonus.
The live data does not provide specific interview process details from Moveworks' public engineering blog or careers page. However, the seniority levels of open roles—Senior and Staff positions—strongly suggest a multi-stage process including technical system design interviews, NLU/ML problem-solving sessions, and leadership assessment.
Moveworks' integration into ServiceNow represents a strategic shift. The company remains positioned as ServiceNow's agentic AI platform for enterprise employee support, competing directly against Glean (valued at $7.2 billion as of June 2025) and Kore.ai (which raised $150 million in recent funding). The careers page at moveworks.com/company/careers remains active, suggesting the acquisition has not disrupted hiring.
The live web data does not include:
To obtain this intelligence, a candidate would need to check Moveworks' engineering blog directly, reach out to current/former employees via LinkedIn, or contact their recruiting team.
The provided web scrape data does not contain specific information about Guru/GetGuru's engineering team, AI strategy, or hiring velocity as of February 21, 2026. The data includes extensive coverage of competitive companies—Glean, Moveworks, Kore.ai, Coveo, and DevRev—but Guru does not appear in the search results, news feeds, job boards, or competitive analyses included.
This absence itself is meaningful. While Glean raised $150 million in Series F at a $7.2 billion valuation (per CNBC and Business Wire articles in the data), and Moveworks sold to ServiceNow for $2.85 billion, the live data provides zero recent coverage of Guru's funding, valuation, or organizational structure.
The only Guru mentions in the dataset appear in comparative articles. GoSearch's FAQ listed Guru as a "top Glean competitor in 2026," grouped with Coveo, Elasticsearch, Lucidworks, Microsoft Search, and Algolia. Another source (Lystr.tech) listed "7 Best Glean Alternatives for Enterprise Search in 2026," noting that Guru, alongside GoSearch and Microsoft Copilot, serves the enterprise search market.
This positioning is significant: Guru is recognized as an enterprise knowledge management and search platform competing in the same problem space as Glean, but the recent funding and hiring velocity data available in this scrape focuses almost exclusively on Glean's trajectory.
To properly assess Guru's engineering and AI team, this research would require:
Funding & Valuation Data: No Series funding announcements for Guru appear in the live data (unlike Glean's $150M Series F or Kore.ai's strategic growth investment). Recent SEC filings, Crunchbase updates, or Bloomberg reporting on Guru would clarify current capitalization and burn rate.
Engineering Team Size & Org Structure: The live data includes links to Glean's, Moveworks', and Kore.ai's careers pages with detailed role listings (Machine Learning Engineer roles, Search Quality Engineers, AI Assistant specialists), but no comparable Guru careers page appears in the scrape.
LLM Implementation Details: The data discusses Glean's "permission-aware search and intelligent retrieval" and Moveworks' NLU expansion into "agentic AI systems," but contains no technical specifications about Guru's approach to LLMs, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), or fine-tuning strategies.
Hiring Velocity Metrics: Larridin's "AI Hiring Pulse" report (February 2026) tracked "428 companies across 43,442 job postings," but Guru does not appear in the cited companies. Kore1's guide on hiring AI engineers noted that "LLM fine-tuning, retrieval-augmented generation, and agentic AI skills command the biggest premiums and are hardest to find" in 2026—context that would apply to Guru's recruiting challenges, but no direct Guru hiring data surfaces.
To complete this intelligence on Guru's engineering trajectory:
Search Guru's LinkedIn careers page for current open roles, headcount growth signals, and team composition across machine learning, backend, and search infrastructure.
Query recent SEC filings or Crunchbase for Guru's latest funding round, valuation, and burn rate metrics.
Review Guru's technical blog or engineering posts on Medium, Dev.to, or their own site for evidence of AI/LLM integration roadmap.
Monitor GitHub repositories attributed to Guru for active development signals and engineering team size estimates.
Cross-reference venture capital databases (PitchBook, CapTable) for recent institutional investment or acquisition rumors.
The absence of Guru from this week's major tech news, funding announcements, and competitive benchmarking suggests either: (a) Guru is operating more quietly than higher-profile competitors like Glean, or (b) the company faces slower hiring velocity or fundraising challenges relative to the enterprise AI boom documented in the provided data.
Enterprise AI is consolidating around a handful of dominant players, and the data shows clear hiring momentum. Glean recently raised $150 million at a $7.2 billion valuation (June 2025, per CNBC and Business Wire), while Moveworks sold to ServiceNow for $2.85 billion in March 2025—a massive 20-25x ARR exit per SaaStr analysis. This consolidation creates urgent talent gaps, especially in machine learning and backend engineering where these companies are actively recruiting.
Glean operates hiring pipelines across multiple channels. Their careers page (glean.com/careers) lists open roles including Software Engineer Backend, Frontend, and Full Stack positions, plus Machine Learning Engineer roles for Search Quality and Enterprise Brain specializations. The Greenhouse board (job-boards.greenhouse.io/gleanwork) shows they're particularly aggressive on ML hiring, with roles like "Machine Learning Engineer, AI Assistant + Autonomous AI Agents" based in San Francisco.
LinkedIn remains the primary networking vector—Glean maintains an active jobs page (linkedin.com/company/gleanwork/jobs) where you can identify hiring managers and peers. The company's CEO Arvind Jain recently discussed Glean's strategic positioning at Web Summit, as reported by TechCrunch on February 15, 2026, where he articulated their focus on building "the layer beneath the interface" in enterprise AI. This TechCrunch appearance signals where Glean leadership maintains visibility and where industry discourse happens.
Moveworks' acquisition by ServiceNow reshapes networking dynamics. Their careers site (moveworks.com/us/en/company/careers) still lists open positions including Senior Machine Learning Engineer and Senior Staff Software Engineer roles for "Agentic AI Systems"—indicating ServiceNow is maintaining Glean's distinct engineering culture post-acquisition. Indeed and Dice list active postings for Senior Software Engineer and ML Engineer roles at competitive salaries.
The acquisition timeline matters strategically: ServiceNow's careers portal now hosts Moveworks roles, fragmenting where you'll find job postings versus where the engineering team networks. Following Moveworks engineers on LinkedIn before the acquisition closed would have given early visibility into where key talent migrated.
DevRev's careers site (devrev.ai/careers) and LinkedIn jobs board show 87 open positions worldwide, with roles like Lead Engineer - Agentic AI and Applied AI Engineering Team members. Their hiring is broader than pure AI roles, suggesting more accessible entry points for engineers building domain expertise before aiming for AI-specific positions.
Coveo positions itself differently, emphasizing Solution Engineering over pure R&D. Their careers board (coveo.com/en/company/careers/open-positions) lists Senior Solution Engineers for AI Knowledge and Commerce verticals. This distribution matters: Coveo's engineering culture skews toward customer-facing work, making it easier to network with their engineering leaders at conferences and customer events than pure research-driven hiring.
The data identifies one major conference marker: ABBYY Ascend 2026 happens April 16 in Nashville at Virgin Hotels Nashville (per Computer Weekly Developer Network). This isn't an enterprise AI-specific event, but the timing and attendance patterns suggest where AI infrastructure teams gather.
The live data does not provide specific open-source projects maintained by engineers at these target companies. This is a significant gap—identifying active GitHub repositories owned by Glean, Moveworks, or DevRev engineers would be the highest-leverage networking angle but requires deeper research beyond the current dataset.
AI Agent Engineer salaries range from $143,746 to $146,434 annually per Glassdoor and SalaryExpert (2026 data), with specialized roles reaching $185,000 total compensation per FlexLab. This establishes your negotiation floor: these companies are in the high-growth phase and can justify top-tier compensation.
