Remote, United Kingdom

Our take: The real work here is chasing complex, critical problems down through Linux, logs and code for GitLab's largest customers, then turning the fixes into trust and reusable knowledge.

If you love chasing a broken system down through logs, strace output, and code until you find the real cause, this is your kind of work. You will be the trusted voice for GitLab's biggest customers, preventing fires as much as fighting them, and turning what you learn into runbooks that help everyone. It suits someone who wants deep technical problems, real ownership, and a remote rhythm that fits their life.
