Remote
Our take: The real work here is keeping GitLab's user-facing systems reliable at scale by building automation, operating Kubernetes, and turning every incident into a lasting improvement.
If you love keeping big systems humming and would rather build the automation that kills toil than click through the same manual fix twice, this is your kind of work. You will operate GitLab.com at real scale on Kubernetes, write infrastructure as code, and turn every incident into a lasting improvement, all in a calm, async, remote-first team that trusts you to own your outcomes. Come for the reliability puzzles, stay because early detection and clean systems here are treated as craft, not chores.
