Our take: The real work here is coaching a distributed team of engineers while staying close to the technical architecture behind GitLab Duo Chat's AI features.
If you love growing engineers while staying close enough to the code to earn their trust, this is a rare balance of both. You would guide a distributed team building the AI chat features embedded across GitLab, coaching people through their growth while shaping architecture that runs AI agents reliably at scale. It suits someone comfortable in ambiguity, energised by fast-moving AI work, and genuinely committed to an inclusive, accountable team.
