You’ll lead the Core Planning team within Git Lab’s Plan stage, reimagining how development teams organize, coordinate, and plan their work at enterprise scale. Right now, planning is fragmented—teams juggle issues, epics, and tickets while struggling to connect their daily work to business outcomes. You’ll solve this by building flexible, configurable planning fundamentals that replace outdated agile mechanisms with intelligent automation.

In your first year, you’ll reshape the core planning experience that millions of developers across 100,000+ Git Lab customers will rely on—transforming how teams think about planning, not as a burden, but as an intelligent partner in their success.
