About GitLab

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

As a Senior Product Manager , you will own GitLab's Secret Detection offering and the Vulnerability Research function that produces the detection content across security products. Secret Detection is one of the highest-signal, highest-volume security capabilities on the platform. Leaked credentials are the most common initial access vector in real breaches, and as AI agents write, commit, and configure more of the software, the surface area for exposed secrets grows faster than the number of humans watching it.

What they're looking for

  • Own the business outcomes for Secret Detection and Vulnerability Research, including adoption, expansion, competitive win rate, and revenue contribution. Bring a point of view on packaging and pricing, not just features
  • Set the strategy for the full secret lifecycle: prevention, detection, validation, revocation, and reporting across GitLab.com, Dedicated, and Self-Managed
  • Treat detection content as a product. Define how rules, advisories, and intelligence feeds are sourced, validated, versioned, and measured, and make quality visible to customers
  • Hold the line on detection quality. False positives are a product defect and you will own the metrics that prove precision is improving
  • Work at the level of the technology. Read the rule syntax, question the entropy heuristics, understand why a scanner missed something, and challenge engineering with informed alternatives
  • Build the case for where AI belongs in the product: triage, rule generation, remediation guidance, and reducing the human review burden per finding
