- The Security Insights team is part of the Security Risk Management stage at GitLab, focused on helping users identify, prioritize, and remediate security vulnerabilities efficiently
- The team operates within three focused swimlanes: Performance and Optimization, Projects, and AI, each approaching work in vertical slices to enable progress on multiple fronts while reducing planning overhead
- As the Engineering Manager for Security Insights, you'll be joining a collaborative and transparent organization that values remote work, results, iteration, and community contribution. You'll play a key role in GitLab's mission to make security accessible to all developers, helping organizations build more secure software efficiently
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.
