Job Description
GitLab wants a Technical Recruiter to help assemble the engineering and product staff who build its DevSecOps offering. This remote, individual-contributor role belongs to a worldwide Talent Acquisition group.
The recruiter takes ownership of each search from the intake meeting through to close. Common openings include product managers, data engineers, security and reliability engineers, backend and frontend developers, and engineering managers. Work involves coordinating with leaders in Engineering, Product, Security, and UX, documenting progress accurately in Greenhouse, and advising hiring teams on the scope of each role, interview design, and timelines.
Much of the job revolves around sourcing and candidate care. The recruiter designs sourcing strategies that emphasize diversity, adjusts approach using market data and pipeline statistics, and judges technical applicants on their track record, problem solving, and any open source work. Offers must lay out pay, equity, and benefits in plain terms.
The listing suits a recruiter with intermediate experience who can run searches independently and hopes to become a trusted adviser on talent. Prior technical hiring is preferred, but a genuine interest in engineering and product work also counts.
Responsibilities
- Run full-cycle searches for engineering and product roles, keeping metrics and records current inside Greenhouse
- Lead intake and kickoff sessions to align hiring teams on scope, technical needs, and timelines
- Coach hiring teams toward structured, fair technical interviews with useful feedback
- Apply market research, pay benchmarks, and candidate feedback to refine search strategy
- Build sourcing plans that mix applicants, referrals, internal moves, and targeted outreach
- Manage candidate communication, feedback timing, and offer negotiations
- Share lessons and reusable resources that improve hiring across Research and Development
Requirements
- Intermediate recruiting experience, including full-cycle searches handled independently
- Technical recruiting background, or a sincere desire to learn engineering and product disciplines
- Skill at winning stakeholder confidence and moving hiring teams forward without direct authority
- Track record designing diverse sourcing for niche or hard-to-fill positions
- Organized handling of several requisitions, with clear written and spoken updates across time zones
- Familiarity with applicant tracking software and sourcing tools such as Greenhouse and LinkedIn Recruiter
- Sound judgment when reviewing AI-generated work, plus care with confidential information
Qualifications
- Recruiting background in DevSecOps, developer tooling, or open source projects (useful, though not required)
Core Skills
Benefits
- Support for health, money matters, and overall wellbeing
- Adjustable paid time off
