Manager, Engineering, Git & Gitaly Operations

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.
