Engineering Manager, Create:Source Code

About the Role

The Source Code team at GitLab owns GitLab's core repository experience, from Git command-line operations to web-based code exploration. This includes browsing files and folders, searching for commits, reading diffs between revisions, and assisting collaboration by supporting performant and accessible web solutions for Git primitives. Our roadmap includes user experience improvements to existing features, as well as enhancing the maintainability, accessibility, and performance of our offering and rethinking what an AI-native workflow looks like. We are shipping enhancements to how large binaries are handled and discovering and adapting version control workflows for teams using AI-assisted development tools. Our roadmap also includes technical initiatives like database scaling efforts, performance projects, and several initiatives to address technical debt. We are a distributed team spanning AMER and EMEA time zones, currently consisting of 4 frontend engineers, with a near-term evolution toward a mix of 4-6 backend and frontend engineers across all geographies as we refine our technical scope and improve efficiency. We interact closely with the other Source Code team and others like Gitaly (responsible for Git fundamentals), Data Stores, and Code Review to deliver cohesive experiences. For more on how we work, see Team Handbook Page and Category and Direction Page. This is an opportunity to lead an established team with a strong reputation, guiding continued improvements to one of GitLab's most fundamental user experiences, while rethinking Source Code for the AI-native future at a scale that has not been seen before at GitLab.How GitLab will support you
