What the job involves
- We are seeking a seasoned Senior Engineering Manager to lead and grow a high-performing software engineering team focused on enhancing software supply chain security
- This role will be instrumental in building and implementing innovative solutions to protect the software development lifecycle and the underlying authentication and authorization layers from vulnerabilities and threats
- Senior Engineering Managers at GitLab see their team as their product
- While they are technically credible and know the details of what engineers work on, their time is spent safeguarding their team’s health, hiring a world-class team, and putting them in the best position to succeed
- They own the delivery of product commitments and are always looking to improve productivity
- They must also coordinate across departments including Product, UX and Development to accomplish collaborative goals
- Engineering Leadership at GitLab is cross-discipline
- A Senior Engineering Manager manages Engineering Managers with fullstack teams (frontend, backend, and fullstack engineers), and/or Engineering Individual Contributors (typically Principal level frontend, backend, and fullstack engineers) distributed across the world
- Build a globally-distributed, sustainable, and high-performing team through hiring, retention, and strategic organizational design
- Identify emerging software supply chain threats in the industry and via in-house research, and adjust strategy and prioritization in a timely manner
- Stay up-to-date with industry best practices and standards in the area of supply chain security, and grow the skills and capabilities of your teams accordingly
- Collaborate with product management and cross-functional teams across all Gitlab areas to drive software supply chain security initiatives that touch on multiple stages of the developer workflow
- Implement industry-based metrics to guide the team’s roadmap such as Third-Party Component Risk Score (TPCRS) and Supply Chain Attack Surface (SCAS) to guide the team’s roadmap
- Plan and execute long term strategies that move your team and the product stage(s) toward business objectives. This includes decision-making, alignment, staffing, prioritization, leading through change, and working through ambiguity
- Lead and drive significant results for multiple teams that have a direct impact on the broader mission they contribute to
- Develop and execute process enhancements while strategically influencing leadership decisions across multiple organizational levels
- Enable quad planning team collaboration within product groups
- Enable Product, Quality, and UX performance via solid stable-counterpart partnerships
- Identify and resolve problems proactively, even in ambiguous situations or where negotiations are necessary, through advanced thinking, partnership and foresight
- The Software Supply Chain Security team is tasked with building a strong end-to-end software supply chain security story for Gitlab users, with building compliance solutions and improving authentication and authorization as well as pipeline security across the whole Gitlab product
- Here are some examples of projects you’ll be working on:
- SLSA L3 Support
- Token Consolidation
- Fine Grained Token Permissions
- Custom Permissions and Roles
- Service to Service Authentication
- Compliance Frameworks
- Secrets Management
- In this role, you’ll be leading a thirty person team consisting of four engineering managers with six to eight reports each
Our take
GitLab is an open-source collaboration platform for developers. It enables teams to build code quickly from anywhere without compromising on security or quality. GitLab already has an estimated 30M+ users from all over the world.
According to a 2021 GitLab report, 60% of developers can release code 2x faster with DevOps platforms that bring teams together and accelerate processes. It stands out by catering to programmers of all experiences. Gitlab's version control system helps streamline the process of creating, maintaining, and deploying code, whoever you are.
GitLab was in the right place to capitalize on the recent trend toward rapid digital transformation and remote working. This trend is expected to continue to grow, and with it, GitLab's popularity. With its successful 2021 IPO and the patronage of major brands such as Nasdaq and Jaguar Land Rover, GitLab is expected to solidify its position as the go-to platform for development teams.
