The opportunity
The team sits within Infrastructure Platforms and works on foundational platform capabilities. It partners closely with engineering, adjacent product managers, and internal customers across regions, with a strong emphasis on GitLab’s asynchronous working style and long-term platform thinking.
What you'll do
Drive product strategy and direction for tenant scale and unified deployment: capabilities across GitLab.com, Dedicated, and future deployment models, informing the broader Infrastructure Platforms direction and moving this work from concept into a deployment model teams can build on in your first year.
Set quarterly and annual plans for tenant portability and platform: unification, breaking large epics into issues and minimal valuable changes (MVCs) and practicing iteration across multiple groups.
Define requirements for our unified deployment platform, including the: capabilities needed before tenants can be hosted in a unified deployment unit.
Partner closely with engineering counterparts and highly technical teams to: turn infrastructure constraints and platform needs into clear product direction.
Collaborate with product peers across the platforms organization, including: teams working on GitLab.com and adjacent infrastructure areas, and manage with influence to align work that spans more than one group.
Engage with internal and external customers to understand needs related to: isolation, regional deployment, compliance, and operational readiness, using qualitative interviews to find patterns and sharpen problem statements.
What they're looking for
- Build business cases for investment in tenant scale and unified deployment,: including build, buy, and partner options, the cost of isolation, regionality, and compliance, and the expected benefits.
- Facilitate tradeoff discussions around scalability, tenant encapsulation,: deployment consistency, and platform unification, and escalate cleanly to the right level of leadership when decisions or progress are blocked.
- Translate complex technical concepts into product plans, priorities, and: documentation that align distributed teams on delivery milestones for tenant portability and platform unification, using error budgets and other performance indicators to inform direction.
- Represent GitLab as a trusted voice on cellular architecture and tenant scale: in customer calls, events, and other external forums.
