Description

  • Own and drive architectural direction for critical infrastructure platforms operating at global scale.

  • Ability to author and drive long-term technical strategy and multi-month roadmaps.
  • Track record of leading through influence and shaping technical direction without direct authority.
  • Comfort making high-impact technical decisions, including build vs. buy vs. partner tradeoffs.
  • Strong communication skills for explaining complex technical concepts to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Preferred: experience with multi-tenant SaaS infrastructure, distributed system hardening, or delivery platforms such as CI, packaging, and release systems.
  • Preferred: experience with GitLab’s focus areas such as Cells, Organizations, OrgMover, developer experience tooling, or automation at scale.
