You’ll redefine the benchmark for Infrastructure Security through relentless advocacy of our Core Values and Dogfooding. You’ll maintain strong partnerships with peers across GitLab (e.g. Infrastructure, Finance, Product, and Legal) to ensure that the team can contribute effectively to cross-functional initiatives, building security in from the foundation upward. When required, you’ll leverage your extensive infrastructure experience and conflict resolution skills to unblock decisions. You’ll collaborate with the Product Security Leadership to develop and refine the Infrastructure Security vision and strategic roadmap.

• Manage an existing high-performing team of infrastructure security professionals and hire new members as appropriate
• Lead and mentor your team by helping grow their skills and experience, fostering a culture of continuous improvement, holding regular 1:1s, and being your team’s role model in exemplifying GitLab company values
• Establish and implement security policies, procedures, standards, and guidelines in support of infrastructure security
• Fulfill the Product Security Division Mission of securing GitLab Infrastructure with our own product (“dogfooding”)

What you’ll bring

• Hands-on public cloud security experience (GCP or AWS), ideally with SRE background
• Practitioner-level CI/CD, Docker, Kubernetes, cloud-native, and serverless experience
• Track record of leading and implementing infrastructure automation in service of security (e.g. Chef, Ansible, Terraform)

• Solid grasp of the current threat landscape, distributed architectures, infrastructure-level systems design, and threat modeling
• Strong written, verbal, and presentation skills across a range of stakeholders
• Comfortable operating in a remote, async, distributed environment with ambiguity and shifting priorities
• Experience managing and developing teams of 5+
• Alignment with GitLab's values and Leadership at GitLab manager responsibilities
