Senior Engineering Manager, Non-Linear Productivity

ABOUT THE ROLE As a Senior Engineering Manager at GitLab, you will own outcomes for a defined engineering domain, build and grow the team that delivers them, and operate with significant autonomy against a clear mandate. This role focuses on driving non-linear productivity by building and leading a small, hand-picked team of engineers who find and fix the highest-leverage friction points in GitLab's own SDLC. WHAT YOU'LL DO As a Senior Engineering Manager, you will be responsible for defining and continuously refining the operating model for the non-linear productivity pilot, identifying and prioritizing non-linear productivity opportunities, and translating an intentionally broad mandate into a concrete roadmap. You will also lead team building and leadership efforts, including personally sourcing and selecting exceptional engineers, negotiating allocation models, setting technical direction, and mentoring engineers in root-cause diagnosis and shift-left thinking. Deep technical exploration and experimentation are also key aspects of this role, including leading hands-on investigation to instrument and baseline metrics, diagnosing friction points, designing and implementing fixes, and staying hands-on to review architecture and unblock the team on hard technical problems. WHAT YOU'LL NEED To be successful in this role, you will need to have a strong technical background, excellent leadership and communication skills, and the ability to operate with significant autonomy. You will also need to be able to navigate ambiguity and complexity, and to drive results through a small, fast-moving team. WHY REMOTE As a remote employee, you will have the flexibility to work from anywhere and will be part of a global team that values collaboration and knowledge exchange. You will have access to a range of benefits, including a competitive salary, comprehensive health insurance, and a generous education stipend.
