An overview of this role

This role is not a typical infrastructure operations role. As Manager, Engineering, Git Gitaly Operations, youll lead the team responsible for the infrastructure layer underneath Git at GitLab: the open source Git project itself, Gitaly, GitLabs Git storage and remote procedure call layer, and the services that make Git perform at enterprise scale.

Git and Gitaly are core to GitLab. If they go sideways in production, they affect everything downstream, including continuous integration, code review, and deployments. This role starts with genuine subject matter expertise in Git technologies and extends to reliable operation across GitLabs deployment models: Self-Managed, GitLab Dedicated, and SaaS.

What you ll do
- Build and lead a team with deep platform expertise in Git and Gitaly, hiring and developing engineers who can operate this infrastructure layer with strong operational judgment.
- Own production reliability for Git and Gitaly across GitLabs full deployment footprint.
- Drive incident management, root cause investigation,



and postmortems with the technical depth to distinguish a Git internals problem from a generic infrastructure problem.
- Design and operate Git and Gitaly service models that work across Self-Managed, GitLab Dedicated, and SaaS, with a explicit view of which elements are common and which must differ between them.
- Maintain cloud-agnostic architecture and tooling decisions, avoiding designs that assume a single hyperscalers primitives.
- Partner with the teams that own each deployment model so operational practices stay coherent rather than fragmenting into separate playbooks.
- Apply distributed systems fundamentals, including consistency, replication, and failure domains, to Gitalys storage and replication model.
- Own elastic storage and compute strategy for Git repository data, including capacity planning, autoscaling, and consumption-based provisioning for GitLabs largest self-managed and SaaS customers.
