Engineering Manager, Create:Source Code

• Substantial leadership experience managing high-performing engineering teams, with hands-on technical competency to provide architectural guidance and technical mentorship. • A passion for version control as a whole, with a deep understanding of Git and current industry trends. • Strong cross-functional alignment and consensus-building skills to align stakeholders across Product, Design, Engineering, and Infrastructure on technical decisions and strategic priorities. Able to drive decisions and execution even when the path of least resistance would be to defer or deprioritize. • Direct production experience building applications with Ruby on Rails (or similar) and modern frontend frameworks (Vue.js, React, or Angular) at an enterprise level. • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills to articulate complex technical concepts clearly to diverse audiences and facilitate productive discussions in async and sync settings. • Strong alignment with GitLab's values (Collaboration, Results, Efficiency, DIB, Iteration, Transparency) with demonstrated examples of living these principles in previous roles. • Experience in remote-first, globally distributed organizations with a bias toward asynchronous communication and handbook-first documentation practices. • Track record fostering inclusive team cultures where engineers feel psychologically safe to contribute, take calculated risks, and hold themselves and each other to high standards. • The Source Code team at GitLab owns GitLab's core repository experience, from Git command-line operations to web-based code exploration. This includes browsing files and folders, searching for commits, reading diffs between revisions, and assisting collaboration by supporting performant and accessible web solutions for Git primitives. Our roadmap includes user experience improvements to existing features, as well as enhancing the maintainability, accessibility, and performance of our offering and rethinking what an AI-native workflow looks like. We are shipping enhancements to how large binaries are handled and discovering and adapting version control workflows for teams using AI-assisted development tools. Our roadmap also includes technical initiatives like database scaling efforts, performance projects, and several initiatives to address technical debt. We are a distributed team spanning AMER and EMEA time zones, currently consisting of 4 frontend engineers, with a near-term evolution toward a mix of 4-6 backend and frontend engineers across all geographies as we refine our technical scope and improve efficiency. We interact closely with the other Source Code team and others like Gitaly (responsible for Git fundamentals), Data Stores, and Code Review to deliver cohesive experiences. For more on how we work, see Team Handbook Page and Category and Direction Page. • This is an opportunity to lead an established team with a strong reputation, guiding continued improvements to one of GitLab's most fundamental user experiences, while rethinking Source Code for the AI-native future at a scale that has not been seen before at GitLab. • How GitLab will support you • Benefits to support your health, finances, and well-being • Flexible Paid Time Off • Team Member Resource Groups • Equity Compensation & Employee Stock Purchase Plan • Growth and Development Fund • Please note that we welcome interest from candidates with varying levels of experience; many successful candidates do not meet every single requirement.
