Desirable

• As the Senior Product Manager for Static Analysis, you'll be responsible for GitLab’s code scanning products.

This role combines cutting-edge security technology and iterative product development at the scale of GitLab’s global customer base
• You'll drive high-visibility initiatives like GitLab Advanced SAST, real-time SAST in the IDE, and our AI-powered GitLab Duo Vulnerability Resolution. The challenge? Balancing the technical complexity of static analysis with the practical needs of developers and security teams who rely on these tools daily
• You'll work independently to shape product strategy while collaborating with experts across GitLab. You’ll work most closely with the Static Analysis engineering team, with years of experience in SAST R&D; our innovative Vulnerability Research team; and the rest of the Sec PM team, which manages all of GitLab’s security scanning, risk management, and governance features. Your decisions will directly impact GitLab Ultimate customers and help define the future of DevSecOps
