The opportunity
GitLab is the intelligent orchestration platform for DevSecOps. GitLab enables organizations to increase developer productivity, improve operational efficiency, reduce security and compliance risk, and accelerate digital transformation.
What they're looking for
- Mentor the engineers on this team in root-cause diagnosis and shift-left: thinking, raising the bar for rigor versus reaching for the nearest patch.
- Lead hands-on investigation to instrument and baseline the three top-level: metrics (MRPM, pipeline success rate, pipeline latency) so the org has an honest starting point before any fix is proposed.
- Diagnose the highest-leverage friction points dragging each metric down, and: validate hypotheses with real data before committing team time to a fix.
- Design and implement fixes that compound, including shift-left quality: changes, tooling investment, and better context and interfaces for both humans and agents, rather than one-off patches.
