An overview of this role

As a Manager on the Infrastructure Security Team within the Product Security Department you will work with teams across GitLab to ensure that the components comprising our cloud infrastructure are built with the resiliency and security expectations that our customers depend on to power their software factories. 

You’ll lead and develop a high-performing team focused on securing GitLab’s internal cloud infrastructure (e.g. internal tooling and Sandbox) and our FedRAMP-authorized SaaS offering, GitLab Dedicated for Government. You’ll redefine the benchmark for Infrastructure Security through relentless advocacy of our Core Values and Dogfooding. You’ll maintain strong partnerships with peers across GitLab (e.g. Infrastructure, Finance, Product, and Legal) to ensure that the team can contribute effectively to cross-functional initiatives, building security in from the foundation upward. When required, you’ll leverage your extensive infrastructure experience and conflict resolution skills to unblock decisions. You’ll collaborate with the Product Security Leadership to develop and refine the Infrastructure Security vision and strategic roadmap.

What you’ll do

• Serve as a stable counterpart to teams such as Public Sector SRE, providing infrastructure security guidance and partnership
• Provide professional guidance and input on infrastructure security within and outside of your team
• Collaborate with other security teams in support of cross-team security efforts, process improvements, and driving down risk across the organization
• Build collaborative cross-functional partnerships with teams across Infrastructure Engineering, Engineering and Development, Product Management, and Legal
• Manage an existing high-performing team of infrastructure security professionals and hire new members as appropriate
• Lead and mentor your team by helping grow their skills and experience, fostering a culture of continuous improvement, holding regular 1:1s, and being your team’s role model in exemplifying GitLab company values
• Establish and implement security policies, procedures, standards, and guidelines in support of infrastructure security
• Fulfill the Product Security Division Mission of securing GitLab Infrastructure with our own product (“dogfooding”)

What you’ll bring

• Hands-on public cloud security experience (GCP or AWS), ideally with SRE background
• Practitioner-level CI/CD, Docker, Kubernetes, cloud-native, and serverless experience
• Track record of leading and implementing infrastructure automation in service of security (e.g. Chef, Ansible, Terraform)
• Experience managing infrastructure security in regulated environments (e.g. FedRAMP, PCI)
• Solid grasp of the current threat landscape, distributed architectures, infrastructure-level systems design, and threat modeling
• Strong written, verbal, and presentation skills across a range of stakeholders
• Comfortable operating in a remote, async, distributed environment with ambiguity and shifting priorities
• Experience managing and developing teams of 5+
• Alignment with GitLab's values and Leadership at GitLab manager responsibilities
