As Engineering Manager for GitLab CD, you'll build and lead a brand-new, globally distributed team at the forefront of GitLab's next generation of Continuous Deployment capabilities. This is a greenfield opportunity: you'll hire foundational engineers, shape the team's culture and ways of working, and own delivery of a first-class CD product within GitLab's DevSecOps platform.
Your team will build a CD engine that goes beyond script execution—bringing true reconciliation, live state awareness, durable orchestration, and AI-native governance to GitLab's platform. The goal is to deliver features that enable customers to deploy software reliably, safely, and with confidence. This work sits at the intersection of GitLab's core platform and its AI strategy, making it a high-visibility, fast-moving area of the product.
You'll partner closely with Product Management, cross-functional engineering teams, and infrastructure stakeholders to align technical decisions with customer needs and business goals, while building a team culture grounded in GitLab's values.
The GitLab CD team is a newly formed group within the Deploy stage. The team will be primarily Go engineers, with Ruby on Rails and frontend engineers joining as the product matures. As CD Engineering Manager you will work closely with adjacent teams across Verify, Runner, and Infrastructure, building in a collaborative, async-first environment where engineers take real ownership of outcomes. This is an exciting opportunity to help shape something new within an established company operating at significant scale.
