Role
Who you are

- Ability to guide teams in applying AI to software engineering workflows and technical decision-making
- Experience delivering results in fast-paced environments with ambiguous requirements
- A commitment to coaching and developing engineers in a positive, inclusive team environment

- You'll contribute to design reviews on sandboxing and agent observability, work alongside staff engineers, and use modern AI coding tools and agent harnesses in your work
- Lead the Agent Tools, Agent Observability, and Runner Execution teams across frontend, backend, and AI engineering, with each team anchored by a staff engineer
- Grow the group by hiring, onboarding, coaching, and developing engineers at every level
- Partner with product and UX to turn ambiguous problems into shipped milestones and make prioritization tradeoffs explicit
- Contribute substantively to technical design for running agents safely and effectively at scale
- Establish practical standards for the group's use of AI tools, including tool selection and configuration
- Coach engineers through ambiguity in a fast-changing technical space
- Represent the group across GitLab's AI organization and with the teams that depend on the GitLab Duo Agent Platform
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.
