Engineering Manager, Trusted Agentic DevelopmentActive

The opportunity

The Trusted Agentic Development team is part of GitLab's Developer Experience group. We build platforms and practices that help GitLab engineers validate agent-generated software with confidence.

What you'll do

  • Build and grow the team by hiring and developing engineers who practice: agentic development, and create a culture that treats this as an open problem to solve rather than a process to enforce.

  • Set direction in an undefined space by partnering with your team to shape the: technical approach for validating agent-built software.

  • Keep the team focused on the highest-impact version of the problem rather than the easiest one.

  • Earn adoption by building relationships with engineering teams across GitLab,: learning how they work with agents today, and creating a platform they choose because it makes them faster and more confident.

  • Measure engineer adoption and trust through real usage, treat adopters as: design partners, and use findings to prioritize where confidence is breaking down.

  • Stay close to the technical work by engaging in architecture and design: discussions, reviewing proposals, and keeping your judgment current as agentic development changes.

What they're looking for

  • Run the team with clear goals, direct feedback, honest performance: management, and ownership of complex work from planning through completion without relying on a dedicated program manager.
