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

• Build and lead a team with deep platform expertise in Git and Gitaly, hiring and developing engineers who can operate this infrastructure layer with strong operational judgment. • Own production reliability for Git and Gitaly across GitLab's full deployment footprint. • Drive incident management, root cause investigation, and postmortems with the technical depth to distinguish a Git internals problem from a generic infrastructure problem. • Design and operate Git and Gitaly service models that work across Self-Managed, GitLab Dedicated, and SaaS, with a clear view of which elements are common and which must differ between them. • Maintain cloud-agnostic architecture and tooling decisions, avoiding designs that assume a single hyperscaler's primitives. • Partner with the teams that own each deployment model so operational practices stay coherent rather than fragmenting into separate playbooks. • Apply distributed systems fundamentals, including consistency, replication, and failure domains, to Gitaly's storage and replication model. • Own elastic storage and compute strategy for Git repository data, including capacity planning, autoscaling, and consumption-based provisioning for GitLab's largest self-managed and SaaS customers.

🎯 Requirements

• Familiarity with GitLab's product and deployment models, and how Git and Gitaly support repository operations across self-managed, dedicated, and SaaS environments. • Hands-on subject matter expertise in Git internals, including how the protocol, object model, and storage layer behave under load and at scale, not only familiarity with Git usage. • Strong distributed systems fundamentals, including consistency, replication, failure handling, and horizontal scalability. • Experience running production infrastructure across multiple deployment models, such as self-managed, dedicated or single-tenant, and multi-tenant SaaS, or a credible path from adjacent experience to it. • Experience with elastic storage and compute, and consumption-based system design for variable, unpredictable load. • People management experience, ideally leading site reliability engineering-style or platform operations teams. • Direct experience with Gitaly, libgit2, JGit, or another Git implementation's internals is advantageous. • Experience operating cloud-agnostic infrastructure across multiple hyperscalers or on-premises environments is advantageous.

🏖️ 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
