Job Description: You'll manage four teams within Delivery Enablement: developer tooling (Caproni), observability enablement, performance enablement, and development analytics. Your mandate is to build a coherent, Kubernetes-first platform vision that serves GitLab.com, Dedicated, and thousands of self-managed deployments — a combination most companies split into separate tracks. You'll report directly to the Director of Delivery Enablement.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead engineering teams improving build times, observability, and delivery consistency
• Drive a Kubernetes-first platform vision supporting both cloud and on-prem environments
• Guide technical decisions across developer environments, packaging, and testing workflows
• Manage team health, performance, and prioritization in a fully remote environment
• Turn broad platform goals into actionable roadmaps with defined milestones
• Support thoughtful adoption of AI-assisted development practices

Requirements:

• Experience leading remote engineering teams through ambiguity and organizational change
• Strong background in Kubernetes platforms with hands-on familiarity
• Working knowledge of Helm and containerized delivery models
• Experience with self-managed, on-prem, or bare metal environments
• Track record in performance management and coaching
• Hands-on experience with CLI-based AI coding tools

Benefits: Flexible PTO, equity compensation, Growth and Development Fund, parental leave, home office support, employee stock purchase plan.
