GitLab is the intelligent orchestration platform for DevSecOps. 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.
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 Engineering Manager, Growth at GitLab, you’ll focus on building and enabling a high-performing team that helps users discover, activate, and expand value in GitLab. Growth’s mission is full-funnel: linking acquisition, activation, engagement, retention, and monetization into measurable self-serve loops, while using experimentation to improve how users experience the product.
Your primary focus will be to hire, coach, and develop team members, and to create an environment where they can do their best work while delivering strong results. You’ll partner closely with Product, Design, Data, and Engineering stakeholders to translate business goals, user journey insights, and experiment learnings into product improvements that help users realize value faster.
You will foster a culture that challenges the status quo and leverages AI-native experimentation to find innovative solutions for our users.
You and your globally distributed team will work in an agile and asynchronous way, working across GitLab to run experiments on GitLab.com, improve onboarding and discoverability, and streamline the paths that connect users to existing product value. Growth teams work iteratively, operate across product areas, and use experimentation to make data-informed product choices.
In this role, you’ll balance technical guidance with people management. You’ll guide architecture and implementation discussions, help the team navigate tradeoffs, and ensure experiments and product changes are built carefully, measured well, and aligned with long-term product ownership. Because Growth often works across product boundaries, you’ll also help your team work effectively with counterpart groups and smoothly hand off or scale successful work where ongoing ownership belongs elsewhere.

About the team
The Growth stage is focused on scaling GitLab’s business value by assessing the customer journey from acquisition through activation, adoption, and reactivation, and by identifying the highest-ROI levers to focus on at a given moment.
We are a cross-functional team that works closely with Product, Design, Analytics Instrumentation, Data, Customer Success, Sales, and other product groups. Growth does not own broad product areas in the traditional sense; instead, we help users discover and unlock value throughout the GitLab application by shipping targeted improvements directly and partnering with stage groups on larger initiatives.
Our engineering teams work with a strong experimentation mindset. We run experiments on GitLab.com, use common planning and operating processes, and work asynchronously to turn learnings into better user experiences and stronger business outcomes.
