Our take: The real work here is leading a remote team that keeps a large-scale hosted platform reliable and secure while growing the people who run it and automating the toil away.

If you light up when a distributed platform stays up because you designed it to, and you get as much satisfaction from a teammate growing as from a clean incident resolution, this is your kind of role. You will lead a remote team building large-scale infrastructure for GitLab Dedicated, balancing speed with the kind of reliability that earns four nines, and setting direction through proofs of concept rather than slide decks. It rewards people who own outcomes, speak plainly about trade-offs, and want their team to own their services with real autonomy.
