As a member of the Infrastructure Security Team within the Product Security Department, you will work with teams across Git Lab to ensure that the components that comprise our public cloud infrastructure are built from the beginning with the resiliency and security expectations that our customers — including the U.S. public sector — rely on to power their Dev Sec Ops  goals.

As a Staff Security Engineer, you will serve as the technical lead for the infrastructure security of our Git Lab Dedicated for Government offering and the broader FedRAMP environment that supports it. You will define the technical direction for how we secure our Federal platform, set the patterns the team uses to operate it, and influence how those patterns extend into our other SaaS platforms (e.g. Git Lab Dedicated, Cells) and Self-Managed offerings.

You will combine hands‑on execution with influence that reaches into partner engineering teams, driving business outcomes by ensuring that we pragmatically implement security capabilities into the platform that empowers critical software factories — including those operated by the U.S. government and its mission partners.

Due to government requirements, you must be a United States Citizen (defined as any individual who is a citizen of the United States by law, birth, or naturalization) to fill this position, and you must be based in the United States.
