Job Description
GitLab operates an intelligent orchestration platform for DevSecOps, helping organizations boost developer efficiency, improve operational performance, and minimize compliance and security risks. More than half of the Fortune 100 and tens of millions of registered users rely on the platform to release secure software rapidly. As an Engineering Manager, Build within the GitLab Delivery organization, you will direct the strategy, execution, and operational reliability of systems that transform source code into verified, secure, and distributable packages for Self-Managed and alternative delivery targets.
This remote position suits engineering leaders who have a strong background in large-scale distributed services, operational excellence, and supply chain security. The person in this role will take charge of the Build team roadmap, manage distributable artifacts like container images and cloud marketplace assets, and enforce a unified build-once, deploy-everywhere methodology. Responsibilities also include steering centralized dependency management, implementing self-service onboarding paths with standard continuous integration templates, and integrating artificial intelligence tools into everyday workflows to elevate productivity.
GitLab maintains a high-performance culture driven by continuous knowledge exchange and values collaboration across globally distributed teams. Candidates do not need to check every single box to apply, as the organization welcomes applicants with varying levels of experience and focuses on holistic potential.
