Support Engineer, U.S. Government Support

Remote, United States
Our take: The real work here is hunting down complex GitLab failures in some of the most secure and constrained government environments in the world, using deep Linux skills and root cause investigation to protect missions that genuinely matter.
If you love chasing a bug down through logs, code paths, and system behavior until you find the real why, this is your kind of puzzle, made harder and more meaningful because it happens in air-gapped, classified, and heavily regulated environments where the usual tools are off the table. You will work the command line with strong Linux instincts, sometimes with only partial data to go on, and your fixes ripple out to national security missions and the whole GitLab platform. It is fully remote, built on trust and pairing, and it rewards people who take real ownership and care about getting the details right.
