Fortune and Fortune Media IP Limited are not affiliated with, and do not endorse products or services of GitLab. About the role Senior Engineering Managers at GitLab own outcomes for a defined engineering domain, build and grow the team that delivers them, and are trusted to operate with significant autonomy against a clear mandate. This Senior Engineering Manager role focuses on driving non-linear productivity by building and leading a small, hand-picked team of engineers who find and fix the highest-leverage friction points in GitLab's own SDLC. Rather than incremental team management, this is a 0 to 1 team-building mandate. You will personally recruit 4 exceptional engineers, define how they work, and drive them through a root-cause, shift-left approach to engineering productivity, measured in system-level metrics (MRPM, pipeline success rate, pipeline latency), not story points or activity. You will act as a bridge between the pilot squad, engineering managers whose teams are affected by friction points, and leadership, ensuring the team's fixes deliver durable, measurable value before any of it is proposed as a permanent function. This role reports to a VP-level engineering leader. What you'll do Vision & Strategy * 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. Team Building & Leadership * 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. Deep Technical Exploration & Experimentation * 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. Internal Adoption & Non-Linear Productivity * 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. Operations, Risk & Enablement * 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. * Help define what "graduation" from pilot to permanent function looks like, and build the case (or the honest counter-case) based on results. What you'll bring General * 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.

Domain Expert Partnerships

PlantingSpace•Remote

We're building a system that represents domain knowledge as modular probabilistic models — making analysis rigorous and transparent by design. Users can connect these models flexibly into larger structures. The system enforces consistency across them, and propagates uncertainty through every step. Our first applications are in finance and scientific research, with use cases ranging from equity valuation and distress monitoring, to particle physics. We are seeking domain experts to collaborate with us on developing high-value use cases that leverage our system’s unique capabilities. Rather than acting as traditional consultants; we need builders and practitioners who are ready to integrate these solutions directly into pilot users’ workflows, drawing on their established industry networks to drive real-world adoption. YOUR PROFILE * Deep domain expertise — You are a current or former practitioner with hands-on experience solving complex problems in your field * Technical understanding — You possess a strong grasp of statistical modeling, enabling close collaboration with our engineers on developing solutions * Industry connections — You bring a network of relevant contacts, to identify and engage as pilot users YOUR FIELD OF EXPERTISE We are actively seeking to develop: * Valuation Modes * Quantitative Default-Probability Models * Interest Rate Prediction Models * …and more within the Financial Analysis space WHAT MAKES A VIABLE USE CASE Problem Characteristics: * No existing AI solution — Problems currently handled mostly manually or through custom programming by engineering teams * Clear pain points in current solutions — E.g., existing approaches (Excel models, custom programs) are brittle, hard to validate, don't integrate varied data sources easily, and require manual updates as they don't 'learn' from new information. Difficulty identifying inconsistencies within the model, or between the model and related knowledge autonomously. * Statistical nature with uncertainty — Problems characterised by significant uncertainty, yet involving discoverable rules and causal chains that can be modeled Use Case Requirements: * Validated pain points — Pain points are serious enough that practitioners are willing to collaborate and ultimately engage in commercial pilot contracts * Strategic fit with our system’s capabilities and long term product vision * Identified pilot users — You have established contacts with industry practitioners actively using the relevant workflows, who are interested in validating solutions and quality checking the model ENGAGEMENT PROCESS Our collaboration follows a structured 4-stage development cycle: * Stage 1: Opportunity identification - We establish together whether this is a relevant use case for us, and sketch the initial solution architecture. * Stage 2: Validation - The goal of this stage is to establish the problem solution fit, commercial viability, and the ICP (ideal customer profile): with your help we will identify and jointly interview numerous practitioners, and ideally secure pilot user engagements. * Stage 3: Specification & Implementation - You collaborate with our engineers to translate the validated solution architecture into a working model within our system, and participate actively in user testing with our pilot users. * Stage 4: Production - Transitioning from pilot to sustained, production-grade usage. You support the integration into users' existing tools and help identify opportunities for expansion. COLLABORATION & COMPENSATION Our compensation model is designed to support you through the early exploration phases while offering significant upside for successful outcomes. Our compensation has two components: * Competitive per-diem rates and engagement via self-employment/contractor, billed via time tracking to PlantingSpace AG (a Swiss company). * Participation in Commercial Success: Opportunity to participate in gross profit sharing from jointly established user engagements. NEXT STEPS If you have expertise in a relevant domain and connections to potential pilot users, we would love to hear from you. To discuss a potential collaboration, please complete the application form, including: * A brief description of the specific domain challenge and concrete model you're considering * A summary of your level of expertise and relevant experience within the concrete project scope * High-level outline of your industry connections and potential access to relevant pilot users We review all proposals, and will reach out to schedule an initial conversation if there is a strategic fit.
