📋 Description

• Define the engineering strategy for your functional area, aligning roadmap, investments, and organizational planning with GitLab's company direction. • Lead a large, globally distributed engineering organization across multiple product domains, supporting Directors, Senior Managers, Engineering Managers, and their teams. • Drive operational excellence through clear engineering metrics, strong incident management practices, and a disciplined approach to reliability, quality, and developer productivity. • Champion AI-native engineering practices across workflows, platforms, and products, including developer tooling, code review, and CI/CD. • Partner with Product Management to create a consistent, high-velocity working model between engineering and product teams. • Collaborate with Finance and executive peers on headcount planning, budgeting, forecasting, and investment tradeoffs. • Work with Sales, Marketing, Alliances, Customer Success, and security leaders to address enterprise needs and support strategic initiatives. • Represent your engineering organization in executive discussions, board-level conversations, and external forums through clear communication and transparent documentation.

🎯 Requirements

• Experience leading large engineering organizations across multiple product areas in a distributed environment, including leadership through Directors and Senior Managers. • Strong technical credibility with the ability to engage senior individual contributors and leaders on architecture, engineering quality, reliability, and system design tradeoffs. • Background building scalable frontend platforms or large-scale user-facing systems, alongside backend or infrastructure experience. • Direct experience modernizing a monolithic application into modular, independently deployable architecture in production, including runtime composition decisions and migration sequencing. • Experience developing or scaling a design system that acts as a reliable contract between platform and product teams, with attention to versioning, testing, and documentation. • Familiarity with AI-powered product development or integrating AI into developer workflows, with a clear understanding of the difference between AI features and AI-native architecture. • Ability to operate effectively in a remote-first, asynchronous, documentation-heavy culture with clear written communication and sound organizational judgment. • Strength in cross-functional leadership, including work with executive stakeholders on business cases, investment planning, customer requirements, and balancing innovation with operational stability; we welcome candidates whose experience may come through different paths with relevant transferable skills.
