Bangalore, India

Our take: The real work here is building a support organization from the ground up: designing its structure, growing its managers, and owning the metrics that prove enterprise-grade support across time zones.

This is a build-from-scratch job for someone who loves shaping a support organization and the people in it. You will stand up GitLab's Bengaluru support hub as a true peer to its global siblings, designing the structure, hiring and growing managers, and owning the metrics that prove it works. If you find deep satisfaction in creating clear paths for engineers and coordinating calm, grown-up work across time zones, this will feel like home.
