The opportunity
The Git & Gitaly Operations team owns the Git infrastructure layer that powers GitLab and works at the intersection of Git internals, distributed systems, storage, and production operations.
What you'll do
Build and lead a team with deep platform expertise in Git and Gitaly, hiring: and developing engineers who can operate this infrastructure layer with strong operational judgment.
Own production reliability for Git and Gitaly across GitLab's full deployment footprint.
Drive incident management, root cause investigation, and postmortems with the: technical depth to distinguish a Git internals problem from a generic infrastructure problem.
Design and operate Git and Gitaly service models that work across: Self-Managed, GitLab Dedicated, and SaaS, with a clear view of which elements are common and which must differ between them.
Maintain cloud-agnostic architecture and tooling decisions, avoiding designs: that assume a single hyperscaler's primitives.
Partner with the teams that own each deployment model so operational: practices stay coherent rather than fragmenting into separate playbooks.
What they're looking for
- Apply distributed systems fundamentals, including consistency, replication,: and failure domains, to Gitaly's storage and replication model.
- Own elastic storage and compute strategy for Git repository data, including: capacity planning, autoscaling, and consumption-based provisioning for GitLab's largest self-managed and SaaS customers.
