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

• Survey GitLab’s internal software development lifecycle and code-generation workflows to identify structural friction early, and build a data-backed view of where technical interventions will have the highest leverage. • Evaluate build, buy, and adapt options for each opportunity, including emerging agentic and AI tooling, with a clear view of cost, risk, and durability. • Stand up prototypes and review architecture directly to test whether a proposed fix moves a target metric and represents a durable solution before GitLab makes broader engineering investment. • Hire and manage a small, high-caliber team, or operate as a hands-on working manager, with a focus on talent density over headcount. • Drive validated fixes from prototype to internal adoption by partnering with affected teams so solutions are relied on, used, and maintained. • Build the technical and business case for productizing internal fixes that prove durable, in partnership with product. • Document reusable learnings so successful internal fixes don’t remain tribal knowledge. • Report impact through changes in key metrics and progress on turning internal fixes into products, including a clear account of what didn’t work.

🎯 Requirements

• Ability to use GitLab. • A track record of identifying and shipping technical fixes for developer productivity, continuous integration and continuous delivery, or platform friction, including problems you found before they were assigned. • Comfort operating with high ambiguity and no existing backlog, building the roadmap rather than executing one handed down. • People management experience, including in a small-team or working-manager capacity. • Technical depth to evaluate and prototype solutions directly, not only direct others toward them. • Product judgment to assess whether an internal tool could hold up for paying customers. • Familiarity with agentic or AI-assisted development tooling. • Experience moving an internal tool toward an external, customer-facing product 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
