GitLab is the most comprehensive AI-powered DevSecOps platform, offering tools for automated software delivery, security, and compliance throughout the software development lifecycle. It provides solutions across areas such as AI-assisted development, continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD), source code management, and vulnerability management. GitLab aims to simplify and accelerate software delivery by uniting development, security, and operations on a unified platform. It is particularly recognized for its AI code assistants and has been named a leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant™ for DevOps Platforms, making it a preferred choice for many enterprises.

📋 Description

• Lead the design and delivery of multi-cloud cell placement and orchestration systems that support GitLab's cell-based architecture. • Build and grow the engineering team responsible for cell infrastructure, spanning architecture, delivery, and production operations. • Drive infrastructure cost visibility and optimization by partnering with finance and platform teams to make unit economics part of the system design. • Own the reliability model for cell infrastructure, including on-call practices, incident response, and postmortem follow-through. • Partner with adjacent teams such as Git infrastructure, Artifact Registry, Duo Agent Platform, and CI/CD to support their scaling and deployment needs. • Define and evolve architectural decisions for cross-cloud routing, data residency, and infrastructure portability. • Develop platform capabilities and developer tooling that let teams deploy on top of cell infrastructure without needing to understand its internal complexity. • Represent the team in cross-functional planning with senior engineering stakeholders on GitLab's broader cells and multi-cloud strategy.

🎯 Requirements

• Hands-on experience designing, building, and operating distributed systems in production using cell-based architecture. • Operational ownership of highly reliable systems, including experience with on-call, incident management, and site reliability engineering practices. • Strong knowledge of distributed systems fundamentals such as consistency models, partitioning and sharding, failure modes, and multi-region or multi-cloud tradeoffs. • Experience leading engineering teams in a distributed environment, with scope aligned to either a single team or a broader multi-team organization. • Ability to hire, support, and develop engineers, including senior individual contributors and, at the senior manager level, engineering managers. • Experience building platform capabilities or developer tools that other engineering teams use to build and deploy software. • Comfort working in ambiguity and helping define direction in an early-stage build rather than stepping into a maintenance-focused role; transferable experience from comparable large-scale infrastructure, multi-cloud platforms, FinOps, AI-supporting systems, or major architecture transitions is welcome. • Clear cross-functional communication skills and the ability to work effectively with VP-level and CTO-level stakeholders.

🏖️ Benefits

• Benefits to support your health, finances, and well-being • Flexible Paid Time Off • Team Member Resource Groups • Equity Compensation & Employee Stock Purchase Plan • Growth and Development Fund • Parental Leave
