An overview of this role

As an Engineering Manager, Git at GitLab, you’ll guide a deeply technical team focused on building, maintaining, and providing expertise on the Git version control system. The team’s work spans upstream development of Git, support for teams across GitLab, new tooling, scalability improvements, new data formats, and ongoing maintenance of the Git codebase.

This role is a good fit for you if you can guide senior and staff engineers through complex, long-horizon technical work while building a culture of technical rigor, clear accountability, and ownership. You’ll help the team balance upstream open source development with GitLab product and infrastructure priorities, especially as much of the team’s work is centered on Scaling Git and adjacent foundational work.

You’ll work in an upstream-first environment where strong relationships with the Git community matter. Mailing-list based collaboration, clear written communication, and thoughtful technical judgment are central to how this team succeeds.

Project areas include:

• Scaling Git
