In this hands-on leadership role, you will guide a team responsible for systems and tooling that support environments ranging from single-node virtual machines to large Kubernetes clusters, with emphasis on reliability, operational simplicity, upgrade velocity, and zero-downtime capabilities across GitLab.com, GitLab Dedicated, and self-managed deployments.
You will guide a globally distributed engineering team and create an environment where team members can do strong work and grow in an all-remote, asynchronous setting. You'll hire, onboard, and develop team members who align with GitLab's values and contribute to an outcome-focused engineering organization. You'll manage and improve agile, asynchronous workflows so the team can deliver deployment tooling and services iteratively and reliably.
You'll partner closely with Product Management and engineering peers across Infrastructure Platforms to align team priorities with customer needs and business goals. You'll own the reliability, upgrade experience, and operational simplicity of GitLab deployments across self-managed environments, GitLab.com, and GitLab Dedicated. You'll improve deployment patterns, observability, zero-downtime capabilities, and upgrade orchestration for customers running GitLab on their own infrastructure.
Apply technical judgment in areas such as Kubernetes Operators, Helm charts, and stateful application delivery to guide choices and unblock the team. Participate in incident management and work with reliability and development teams to help maintain the availability of GitLab.com. In your first year, you'll help the team deliver better deployment and upgrade experiences and guide technical direction in cloud-native deployment architectures.
