A live role
Staff Backend Engineer, Software Supply Chain Security
from GitLab · read the original and apply on their site
Bangalore, India
Our take: The real work here is designing and guiding backend security systems that verify how software is built and shipped, in a remote async team where clear writing and sound architectural judgment carry the day.
If you love shaping backend architecture before a line of code is written, and you care that the software you secure actually protects people from real supply chain threats, this role gives you both. You would lead the design of package policy, signing, and provenance systems in a remote, documentation-first team, mentoring engineers and influencing direction across GitLab. It suits someone who thinks in systems, writes clearly, and wants their security work to matter.
