GitLab enables organizations to increase developer productivity, improve operational efficiency, reduce security and compliance risk, and accelerate digital transformation. More than 50 million registered users and more than 50% of the Fortune 100 trust GitLab to ship better, more secure software faster.\r\nThe same principles built into our products are reflected in how our team works: we embrace AI as a core productivity multiplier, with all team members expected to incorporate AI into their daily workflows to drive efficiency, innovation, and impact. GitLab is where careers accelerate, innovation flourishes, and every voice is valued. Our high-performance culture is driven by our values and continuous knowledge exchange, enabling our team members to reach their full potential while collaborating with industry leaders to solve complex problems. Co-create the future with us as we build technology that transforms how the world develops software.\r\nAn overview of this role\r\nThe Agent Execution group is focused on running agents securely at scale on GitLab's Duo Agent platform. Core parts of the development are the integration between agents and our runtime environment as well as how to observe and steer agents while they run. In this role, you will lead a team of 7 experienced engineers to build innovative AI solutions tailored to our customers' needs. You give engineers clarity, remove friction, and coaching needed to build fast and build right. We expect you to be a strong engineer who never stopped caring about the craft. Technical depth isn't optional — it's what makes good engineering decisions possible.
