Data System Architect, Data Engineering & Monetization

Join GitLab as Data System Architect to drive our strategic data platform evolution. You'll architect scalable, distributed solutions that transform how we manage and leverage data across our SaaS and self-managed deployments, supporting enterprise-scale growth and innovation. You will drive architectural vision for scalable, distributed data systems across SaaS and self-managed deployments, designing database stack solutions that optimize OLTP/OLAP performance and scalability requirements. You will also build governed, monetizable data services and APIs that support both internal operations/analytics and external SaaS product offerings with semantic structure. Partner with product and engineering teams to embed modern agentic and AI-driven patterns into data infrastructure and customer-facing solutions. Experience architecting large-scale distributed data systems in complex, regulated domains with unified platforms integrating cloud-native compute, orchestration, and semantic modeling is required. Hands-on expertise with modern data stack technologies is also required.
