The intelligent orchestration platform for DevSecOps, enabling teams and agents to ship trusted software at enterprise scale. Backed by General Catalyst and Khosla.
About the role
We are looking for a Distinguished Engineer to lead technical direction across GitLab's Core DevOps services, the systems the majority of our users touch every day. Distinguished Engineers are recognized experts across multiple technology domains and represent the most senior level of technical leadership within and across divisions at the company.
What they're looking for
- Set and continuously refine the go forward technical direction for CI, CD, Plan, and source code experiences, aligned against the horizontal architectural initiatives
- Work directly with the VP of Engineering as her technical counterpart on planning, technical investment, and where the group's engineering effort should go
- Translate GitLab's company-wide productivity, quality, and AI native engineering goals into concrete technical direction for Core DevOps, and turn into iterable roadmaps, partnering broadly across the org
- Lead the hardest design decisions hands on, writing code, prototypes, and proofs of concept where a design argument needs evidence behind it
- Drive convergence on shared patterns, libraries, and paved paths, reducing how many different ways the same problem gets solved across the group
- Design migration paths that let large, long lived systems change underneath users without breaking them, using incremental cutover, dual run, measurable rollback, and deprecation with clear timelines
