Our take: The real work here is leading a small team of senior and staff engineers through the long, high-stakes work of scaling GitLab's Git storage tier, building a culture of rigour and ownership mostly in writing.
If you love growing deeply technical engineers and you get genuine satisfaction from doing the slow, right thing over the fast, flashy thing, this is your team. You will lead senior and staff engineers on Gitaly, GitLab's Git data storage tier, where the work is long-horizon, foundational, and genuinely critical. It is a fully distributed, async-first place for someone who can think clearly in writing and build a culture where ownership and rigour are simply how things are done.
