Job Description

Senior Engineering Manager, Non-Linear Productivity

GitLab

• Define and continuously refine the operating model for the non-linear productivity pilot: what "friction" means, how it's diagnosed, and how fixes are prioritized against the three system-level metrics. • Identify and prioritize non-linear productivity opportunities (step-change fixes rather than incremental gains) across the SDLC, including flaky tests, review latency, pipeline reliability, tooling gaps, and context loss for both human and agentic contributors. • Translate an intentionally broad, ambiguous mandate ("find the friction, fix it at the root") into a concrete, time-boxed roadmap with defined milestones for a 3-month pilot window. • Personally source, evaluate, and select 4 exceptional engineers for the pilot squad. You own this hiring bar directly rather than delegating it to a pipeline. • Negotiate allocation models (100% vs. partial/dual-hat) with each engineer's current EM, balancing team commitments against the pilot's needs. • Set the technical direction and working norms for a small, fast-moving team: how work is scoped, how decisions get made, and how progress gets reported. • Mentor the engineers on this team in root-cause diagnosis and shift-left thinking, raising the bar for rigor versus reaching for the nearest patch. • Lead hands-on investigation to instrument and baseline the three top-level metrics (MRPM, pipeline success rate, pipeline latency) so the org has an honest starting point before any fix is proposed. • Diagnose the highest-leverage friction points dragging each metric down, and validate hypotheses with real data before committing team time to a fix. • Design and implement fixes that compound, including shift-left quality changes, tooling investment, and better context and interfaces for both humans and agents, rather than one-off patches. • Stay hands-on enough to review architecture, dig into pipeline internals, and unblock the team on hard technical problems directly. • Own a small set of high-impact friction areas as pathfinders, driving each from diagnosis through fix to measurable metric movement. • Work directly with affected engineering teams to ensure fixes are trusted, adopted, and don't quietly get reverted or worked around. • Track and report metric movement honestly, including when a bet didn't pay off. • Capture and codify reusable patterns and playbooks so that fixes validated by this team can be adopted org-wide with minimal friction. • Set a cadence for reporting impact back to EM peers and leadership, framed around metric movement rather than activity. • Ensure the pilot's fixes degrade gracefully and don't introduce new reliability risk into CI/CD systems that other teams depend on.

Job Requirements

  • Track record leading small, high-autonomy engineering teams, ideally in developer productivity, CI/CD, platform, or infrastructure reliability, measured on system-level outcomes rather than feature delivery.
  • Deep comfort with CI/CD and build systems. You understand why pipelines flake, why they're slow, and what actually moves success-rate and latency numbers versus what just feels like progress.
  • Demonstrated root-cause instinct and a bar for talent over headcount: you'd rather run understaffed than fill a seat with someone good-enough.
  • Comfort operating under metrics-driven accountability, including publicly baselining a number and reporting honestly against it.
  • Strong executive-level communication. This pilot has direct visibility to engineering leadership.
  • Nice to have: Experience with agentic or AI-assisted development workflows, and a view on where human/agent friction shows up differently than pure human friction. Prior experience running a defined-window pilot or 0 to 1 initiative with explicit success criteria. Familiarity with GitLab's own CI/CD internals, or equivalent depth on another large-scale build/test system.

Benefits

  • Benefits to support your health, finances, and well-being
  • Flexible Paid Time Off
  • Team Member Resource Groups
  • Equity Compensation & Employee Stock Purchase Plan
  • Growth and Development Fund
  • Parental Leave
