Remote, Bangalore
Our take: The real work here is leading a small, deep team that keeps Git and Gitaly reliable at enterprise scale, blending Git internals expertise with distributed systems judgment and calm incident response.
If you know Git from the inside, not just how to use it but how its object model and storage behave under real load, this is the layer you have wanted to own. You would lead a small team keeping Git and Gitaly reliable for millions of users across self-managed, dedicated, and SaaS, going deep on distributed systems and calling it when a Git internals problem hides behind a generic one. It rewards genuine depth and operational judgment over breadth, and gives you a critical platform to make excellent.
