Technical Teams to Support Glassdoor Recruiting Solutions Growth and Innovation
Glassdoor, one of the world’s largest job and recruiting sites, announced it has expanded its product and software engineering operations into Chicago, which will bring dozens of new technology jobs to the company’s office in the desirable and developing Fulton Market District.
“Chicago is an important growth city for Glassdoor,” said Glassdoor President & Chief Operating Officer Christian Sutherland-Wong. “In less than three years, this office has grown into one of Glassdoor’s largest employee centers, in large part due to the city’s incredible talent pool. We look forward to building a stellar product and engineering group here.”
“We are excited to expand our engineering team to Chicago,” said Glassdoor Senior Director of Software Engineering and Head of Chicago engineering team John Stearns. “This team of engineers and product managers will be instrumental in fueling the growth and innovation that helps all companies, big and small, recruit and hire faster and more efficiently.”

In addition to hiring for front-end, back-end, machine learning and test engineers, as well as engineering leaders, in the Chicago office, Glassdoor will also hire for other technical roles, including data scientists, product managers, and designers.
