Engineering Manager, Trusted Agentic Development

Overview

Engineering Manager for GitLab’s Trusted Agentic Development team, focused on making validation of agent-generated code fast, automatic, and trustworthy so it translates into real working software.

What you'll do

• Build and grow the team by hiring and developing engineers practicing agentic development.
• Define the technical approach for validating agent-built software and set direction in an undefined space.
• Keep the team focused on the highest-impact version of the problem.
• Drive adoption across GitLab by partnering with other engineering teams and building a platform teams choose to use.
• Measure engineer adoption and trust through real usage, and use findings to prioritize where confidence breaks down.
• Stay close to technical work by engaging in architecture/design discussions and reviewing proposals.
• Run the team with clear goals and performance management, owning work from planning through completion without a dedicated program manager.

What you'll need

• Direct experience using AI agents to build software.
• Experience leading engineering teams through ambiguous, early-stage problems.
• Ability to drive adoption through influence and a useful product across teams you don’t manage.
• Technical depth to participate credibly in architecture and validation strategy discussions.
