Staff Infrastructure Security Engineer

As a member of the Infrastructure Security Team within the Product Security Department, you will work with teams across GitLab to ensure that the components that comprise our public cloud infrastructure are built from the beginning with resiliency and set security expectations that our customers rely on to power their DevSecOps goals.

As a Staff Security Engineer, you will serve as a technical lead across the topics the Infrastructure Security team owns, including our SaaS Platforms (e.g. GitLab Dedicated, Cells) and Self-Managed offerings. You will define the technical direction for how the team approaches infrastructure security topics and combine hands-on execution with influence that reaches into partner engineering teams. You’ll drive business outcomes by ensuring that we pragmatically implement security capabilities into the platform that empowers critical software factories globally.
