You'll contribute directly to upstream Git, help shape technical direction, and connect open source community discussions with GitLab product needs. Reporting to the Git team lead, you'll work across Git and Gitaly to deliver changes that improve repository access, performance, and long-term maintainability. This is a unique opportunity to influence both an essential open source project and the systems GitLab uses to serve repositories at scale, while helping guide larger efforts that affect the future direction of Git. * Some examples of our projects: contributing new features and fixes to upstream Git, and adapting Gitaly to make effective use of new and existing Git capabilities WHAT YOU’LL DO * Participate in architectural discussions and technical decisions related to Git and Gitaly, helping drive implementation choices that improve correctness, performance, and maintainability. * Contribute features, bug fixes, and performance improvements to upstream Git in line with team and community goals, delivering changes that improve repository access and reliability for users. * Adapt Gitaly to make effective use of Git capabilities, including integrating newly available features to improve scalability, efficiency, and long-term maintainability. * Connect discussions in the open source Git project with GitLab's product direction and engineering work, helping align upstream contributions with product and platform needs. * Scope tasks, estimate effort, and describe implementation plans that support the team's priorities and enable predictable delivery of technical work. * Test and validate the features you build and integrate, with a focus on correctness and reliability to reduce regressions and support stable production use. * Collaborate with team members, contributors and the Git ecosystem * Represent GitLab as a constructive participant in the open source ecosystem, building productive relationships that support ongoing collaboration with the Git community. WHAT YOU’LL BRING * Experience building instrumented, observable software systems. * Knowledge of Git internals, including its code and data structures, or practical experience operating Git servers. * Experience writing and testing production-quality code in C. * Experience contributing to open source projects, including Git or similar systems, and working effectively in public collaboration spaces. * Familiarity with Go for backend development and understanding of Linux internals such as processes, memory management, input/output, and filesystems. * Interest or experience in large-scale or distributed systems, storage formats, graph theory, or highly available production environments, including transferable backend or infrastructure experience. ABOUT THE TEAM The Tenant Scale: Git team works on the Git capabilities that underpin repository access in GitLab, with a strong connection to Gitaly and the upstream Git project. The team contributes directly to open source Git, improves how GitLab uses Git in production, and helps shape technical direction in areas such as performance, correctness, and maintainability. Team members collaborate asynchronously across regions, balancing internal engineering needs with active participation in public open source discussions.

Fortune and Fortune Media IP Limited are not affiliated with, and do not endorse products or services of GitLab. AN OVERVIEW OF THIS ROLE This role is not a typical infrastructure operations role. As Manager, Engineering, Git & Gitaly Operations, you'll lead the team responsible for the infrastructure layer underneath Git at GitLab: the open source Git project itself, Gitaly, GitLab's 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 GitLab's deployment models: Self-Managed, GitLab Dedicated, and SaaS. You'll build and develop a team with deep platform expertise and strong operational judgment. You'll partner across engineering groups to shape how Git and Gitaly operations evolve as the platform grows. 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 GitLab's 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 clear 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 hyperscaler's 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 Gitaly's storage and replication model. * Own elastic storage and compute strategy for Git repository data, including capacity planning, autoscaling, and consumption-based provisioning for GitLab's largest self-managed and SaaS customers. WHAT YOU’LL BRING * Familiarity with GitLab's product and deployment models, and how Git and Gitaly support repository operations across self-managed, dedicated, and SaaS environments. * Hands-on subject matter expertise in Git internals, including how the protocol, object model, and storage layer behave under load and at scale, not only familiarity with Git usage. * Strong distributed systems fundamentals, including consistency, replication, failure handling, and horizontal scalability. * Experience running production infrastructure across multiple deployment models, such as self-managed, dedicated or single-tenant, and multi-tenant SaaS, or a credible path from adjacent experience to it. * Experience with elastic storage and compute, and consumption-based system design for variable, unpredictable load. * People management experience, ideally leading site reliability engineering-style or platform operations teams. * Direct experience with Gitaly, libgit2, JGit, or another Git implementation's internals is advantageous. * Experience operating cloud-agnostic infrastructure across multiple hyperscalers or on-premises environments is advantageous. ABOUT THE TEAM The Git & Gitaly Operations team owns the Git infrastructure layer that powers GitLab and works at the intersection of Git internals, distributed systems, storage, and production operations. We expect the Git & Gitaly Operations team to go deep on one of GitLab's most critical platforms. The work requires technical depth, strong operational discipline, and the ability to solve complex reliability and scaling challenges in Git and Gitaly.
