GitLab is an open-core software company that develops the most comprehensive AI-powered DevSecOps Platform, used by more than 100,000 organizations. Our mission is to enable everyone to contribute to and co-create the software that powers our world. When everyone can contribute, consumers become contributors, significantly accelerating human progress. Our platform unites teams and organizations, breaking down barriers and redefining what's possible in software development. Thanks to products like Duo Enterprise and Duo Agent Platform, customers get AI benefits at every stage of the SDLC.
The 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.
As the Technical Chief of Staff to the CTO, you'll scale the impact of GitLab's engineering leadership by closing the gap between technical vision and day-to-day execution. You'll partner closely with the CTO, executive leadership team, and senior engineers to align a multi-year technical vision with product strategy. You'll translate decisions into clear operating mechanisms and make sure they're documented in GitLab's Handbook to support our all-remote, asynchronous culture. You'll lead initiatives such as AI transformation and internal GitLab AI and large language model (LLM) feature testing. You'll define and implement unified metric frameworks to improve R&D quality and efficiency. You'll orchestrate the rhythm of business for the engineering organization, including staff meetings, quarterly business reviews, and offsites. In your first year, you'll be expected to establish trusted proxy relationships on behalf of the CTO, drive measurable improvements in engineering velocity and organizational health, and act as a key liaison for high-stakes moments, including board materials, M&A technical diligence, and major security or infrastructure incidents.
Some examples of our projects:
You'll be part of a small, high-impact group that connects engineering, product, finance, and people partners. We share context across senior leaders, pressure-test ideas, and help each other tackle complex technical and organizational problems. Team members come from varied backgrounds in engineering, product management, and operations, and we rely on clear writing, direct feedback, and a bias for iteration. You'll have peers who offer perspective, collaboration, and support as you take on ambiguous, high-impact work.
