📋 Description

• Manage a team of senior and staff engineers working on the Git version control system and Git-related infrastructure. • Build a team culture where technical rigor, clear accountability, and ownership are the norm. • Drive execution on complex, long-horizon work across performance, scalability, maintainability, and core Git architecture. • Help the team balance upstream open source development with GitLab product and infrastructure priorities. • Support your engineers’ growth through feedback, mentoring, career development, and stretch opportunities. • Foster strong written communication and asynchronous alignment across a fully distributed team. • Partner with downstream teams like Gitaly and other stakeholders who rely on Git expertise for performance, feature design, and roadmap clarity. • Represent the team credibly with cross-functional partners and in stakeholder conversations about Git direction, performance, and scalability.

🎯 Requirements

• Experience managing engineering teams with direct reports, including hiring, performance management, and career development. • A management philosophy centered on building engineer agency and ownership, with credibility grounded in consistency, follow-through, and technical judgment. • Proven ability to guide highly specialized engineers through ambiguity, structured debate, high-stakes technical tradeoffs, and the realities of upstream open source development, including community review and long feedback cycles. • Strong written communication and remote, asynchronous collaboration skills across distributed, multi-timezone teams. You’re comfortable moving work forward in documents, issue threads, and asynchronous reviews, not just in meetings. • A track record of delivering under pressure on ambiguous, long-horizon technical projects with clear outcomes, and of reasoning from fundamentals about maintainability, technical debt, and long-term platform viability. • Hands-on background in version control systems, distributed systems, storage engines, or other low-level infrastructure domains, with the ability to engage credibly with systems code and architecture, ideally in C, Go, or similarly performance-sensitive environments.

🏖️ 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
