Role
Who you are
- Experience designing and delivering endpoint, systems, or corporate security solutions in environments that require scalable, durable controls
- Deep knowledge of endpoint management platforms such as Jamf Pro or FleetDM, especially for architecting and securing macOS environments
- Strong hands-on ability with Terraform and Infrastructure-as-Code practices, including module design, state management, and pipeline-based deployment
- Experience working with GitOps workflows where changes are managed through Git repositories, merge requests, code review, and automated pipelines
- Strong proficiency in scripting or programming for automation and security tooling, such as bash, Python, PowerShell, or Go
- Familiarity with cloud identity providers and directories, including platforms such as Okta, Google Workspace, LDAP
- Ability to communicate clearly, collaborate across distributed teams, and work independently in an all-remote environment
- Openness to bringing transferable experience from adjacent security, systems, or platform engineering backgrounds, along with a practical and security-focused approach to problem solving
- Please note that we welcome interest from candidates with varying levels of experience; many successful candidates do not meet every single requirement
- Additionally, studies have shown that people from underrepresented groups are less likely to apply to a job unless they meet every single qualification
- If you're excited about this role, please apply and allow our recruiters to assess your application
What the job involves
- As a Senior Corporate Security Engineer, you'll help secure the systems GitLab team members rely on every day across a fully remote environment
- This role sits within Corporate Security Engineering and focuses on building secure-by-default controls for endpoints and the SaaS platforms that support them, with a strong emphasis on macOS
- You'll own meaningful technical decisions around endpoint hardening, automation, and detection, and you'll help turn security requirements into scalable engineering systems that are measurable, auditable, and designed to reduce friction for end users
- This is a strong fit if you're motivated by solving security problems with code
- You will work across endpoint management, identity, and security operations to improve how GitLab manages macOS, iOS, Windows, and Linux devices through Infrastructure-as-Code, Terraform, and GitOps workflows
- In your first year, you'll be expected to strengthen endpoint security architecture, expand automation, and improve the reliability and auditability of how controls are deployed and maintained
- Lead the security architecture of GitLab's endpoint fleet and related infrastructure, with a primary focus on macOS
- Design and support automation for secure endpoint deployment, configuration, and lifecycle management using code-based workflows
- Manage endpoint and SaaS security configuration through Terraform, version control, merge requests, continuous integration pipelines, and automated rollouts
- Define and enforce security baselines across macOS, iOS, Windows, and Linux endpoints
- Develop patching and software distribution approaches that align with security, compliance, and operational requirements
- Partner with Information Technology, Security Operations, and Detection and Response teams to improve endpoint telemetry, detections, and response models
- Drive process improvements that reduce manual work and lower risk by favoring automation, policy-driven controls, and auditable change management
- Mentor engineers across Corporate Security and Information Technology, and serve as a senior escalation point for complex endpoint security issues
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 capitalise on the recent trend toward rapid digital transformation and remote working. This trend is expected 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.
