Director of Engineering, Security Risk Management

We're seeking an exceptional Engineering Lead to drive the evolution of GitLab's Security Risk Management (SRM) stage into a world-class platform for vulnerability analysis and remediation at enterprise scale. As the SRM Stage Lead, you'll be responsible for transforming our engineering culture toward high-performance distributed systems while delivering an exceptional user experience for both Application Security professionals and Developers. You'll own the technical strategy for processing, analyzing, and remediating vulnerabilities across massive codebases and complex enterprise environments. You'll design distributed systems architecture capable of processing vulnerability data from thousands of repositories, millions of commits, and complex dependency graphs in real-time. The role involves driving storage system decisions for multi-petabyte security datasets. You will also lead the technical evolution from monolithic security scanning to microservices-based, event-driven vulnerability management systems. You'll have the opportunity to define the future of application security tooling while working with some of the most challenging distributed systems problems in the industry, such as processing vulnerability data for organizations with 100,000+ repositories, sub-second query response times, and 99.95%+ uptime SLAs for security-critical workflows.
