Engineering Manager, Gitlab Delivery: Upgrades
from GitLab · read the original and apply on their site
Bangalore, India
Our take: The real work here is leading a distributed engineering team to make GitLab deploy, upgrade, and run reliably at scale while staying hands-on with the technical calls.
You lead a globally distributed team that makes GitLab easy to deploy, upgrade, and run reliably, from single virtual machines to large Kubernetes clusters. This is hands-on leadership where your technical judgment on Operators, Helm charts, and zero-downtime upgrades directly unblocks the team and shapes how GitLab is delivered at scale. If you love growing engineers, owning reliability, and staying calm through incidents in an all-remote, async world, this role will feed you.
