This mission is integral to our culture, influencing how we hire, build products, and lead our industry.

An overview of this role

We are seeking a seasoned Senior Engineering Manager to lead and grow a high-performing software engineering team focused on enhancing software supply chain security. This role will be instrumental in building and implementing innovative solutions to protect the software development lifecycle and the underlying authentication and authorization layers from vulnerabilities and threats.

Senior Engineering Managers at GitLab see their team as their product. They own the delivery of product commitments and are always looking to improve productivity. They must also coordinate across departments including Product, UX, and Development to accomplish collaborative goals.

A Senior Engineering Manager manages Engineering Managers with full-stack teams (frontend, backend, and full-stack engineers) and/or Engineering Individual Contributors (typically Principal level frontend, backend, and full-stack engineers) distributed across the world.

What You'll Do

  • Build a globally-distributed, sustainable, and high-performing team through hiring, retention, and strategic organizational design.
  • Identify emerging software supply chain threats in the industry and adjust strategy and prioritization in a timely manner.
  • Stay up-to-date with industry best practices and standards in the area of supply chain security.
  • Collaborate with product management and cross-functional teams to drive software supply chain security initiatives.
  • Implement industry-based metrics to guide the team's roadmap.
  • Plan and execute long-term strategies that align with business objectives.
  • Lead and drive significant results for multiple teams impacting the broader mission.
  • Develop and execute process enhancements while strategically influencing leadership decisions.
  • Identify and resolve problems proactively through advanced thinking and partnership.

What You'll Bring

  • Proven experience managing engineering managers and high-performing engineering teams, with a strong focus on software security.
  • Deep understanding of software development lifecycles and security best practices.
  • Strong technical skills in secure coding practices, vulnerability scanning, cryptography, and threat modeling.
  • Experience with security frameworks and tools (e.g., OWASP, NIST, SAST, DAST).
  • Data-driven approach to improving team productivity and effectiveness.
  • Strong communication, collaboration, and stakeholder management abilities.
  • Experience with open-source or enterprise-grade Software Supply Chain Security (SSCS) products.
  • Demonstrated experience delivering scalable solutions.
  • Ability to discuss architectural concepts and systems design.

About the team

The Software Supply Chain Security team is tasked with building a strong end-to-end software supply chain security story for GitLab users.

In this role, you'll be leading a thirty-person team consisting of four engineering managers with six to eight reports each.

Please note that we welcome interest from candidates with varying levels of experience; many successful candidates do not meet every single requirement. If you're excited about this role, please apply.
