A live role
Engineering Manager, Trusted Agentic Development
from GitLab · read the original and apply on their site
Remote, Poland
Our take: The real work here is leading a new team to define and build what makes AI-agent-generated code trustworthy, earning adoption across GitLab through a better path rather than a mandate.
This is for someone who has built software with AI agents and come away with strong opinions about why a green test suite does not mean a working feature. You will lead a new team into genuinely open territory, defining what trusted agentic development means and winning adoption by building the best path rather than mandating one. If you love shaping direction from a blank page, earning the trust of senior engineers through useful work, and growing an accountable team, this is your kind of hard problem.
