GitLab - Manager, Engineering, Git & Gitaly Operations
Requirements
• Familiarity with GitLab's product and deployment models, and how Git and Gitaly support repository operations across self-managed, dedicated, and SaaS environments. • Hands-on subject matter expertise in Git internals, including how the protocol, object model, and storage layer behave under load and at scale, not only familiarity with Git usage. • Strong distributed systems fundamentals, including consistency, replication, failure handling, and horizontal scalability. • Experience running production infrastructure across multiple deployment models, such as self-managed, dedicated or single-tenant, and multi-tenant SaaS, or a credible path from adjacent experience to it. • Experience with elastic storage and compute, and consumption-based system design for variable, unpredictable load. • People management experience, ideally leading site reliability engineering-style or platform operations teams. • Direct experience with Gitaly, libgit2, JGit, or another Git implementation's internals is advantageous. • Experience operating cloud-agnostic infrastructure across multiple hyperscalers or on-premises environments is advantageous. • 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. • We expect the Git & Gitaly Operations team to go deep on one of GitLab's most critical platforms. The work requires technical depth, strong operational discipline, and the ability to solve complex reliability and scaling challenges in Git and Gitaly. • How GitLab Supports Full-Time Employees • Benefits to support your health, finances, and well-being • Flexible Paid Time Off • Team Member Resource Groups • Equity Compensation & Employee Stock Purchase Plan • Growth and Development Fund • Please note that we welcome interest from candidates with varying levels of experience; many successful candidates do not meet every single requirement.

Responsibilities
• 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. • 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.
