  • Respond: Respond to user emergencies, platform alerts and support requests.
  • Enhance: Implement new, and update existing security measures for the protection of GitLab infrastructure.
  • Partner: Act as Subject Matter Experts within the GitLab Infrastructure team when interacting with internal and external compliance assessors during certification and recertification of regulatory requirements (ex. FedRAMP, SOC2, ISO).  
  • Collaborate: Work with other engineering stakeholders on resolving larger architectural bottlenecks and participate by offering a large scale operational point of view. Work in close collaboration with software development teams to shape the future roadmap and establish strong operational readiness across teams. 

 You may be a fit to this role if you:

  • Have experience with Infrastructure as a Code technologies, and libraries powering GitLab. Having experience with Terraform is a must. 
  • Are able to reason about large systems - how they work and can be operated on a large scale, edge cases, failure modes, behaviors.
  • Are comfortable using GoLang or Ruby. 
  • Enjoy working with peers and collaborating across teams to deliver unique solutions to various technical challenges. 
  • Are able to leverage GitLab as your day to day go-to tool.
  • Have experience regularly interacting with customers, and a focus on resolving their requests with a sense of urgency.

 You share our values, and work in accordance with those values.

Projects you could work on:

  • Develop, evangelize, and monitor the adoption of solid cloud security practices.
  • Working from the team’s issue tracker, driving changes required to operate a large number of GitLab environments.
  • Work on the GitLab core projects such as, GitLab Rails, GitLab Runners, GitLab Workhorse, Gitaly, etc.
  • Work on projects that create deployment packages of GitLab such as, GitLab Helm Chart, omnibus-gitlab, etc.
  • Coding infrastructure automation with Ansible and Terraform, and comfortable with managed Kubernetes platforms.
