We’re looking for a senior manager to lead the GitLab security incident response team (SIRT) in the Americas region. GitLab SIRT manages and investigates cybersecurity incidents for all GitLab operating environments and operates in a tierless SOC model. GitLab SIRT is responsible for threat hunting, alert triage, security investigations, deep dive DFIR, large scale incident response, among other responsibilities. This person should have a technical background, be comfortable leading a team that owns the full incident lifecycle from alert triage to incident retrospective actions, be skilled in leading large complex incidents, and training others to do the same.
We are looking for a person who makes good business decisions under pressure and someone who is always looking for opportunities to “shift left” and improve defenses, leveraging AI and automation where possible to optimize workflows. In this role you will develop incident responders and maintain a culture of high performance - leading incident response and defending GitLab infrastructure and products such as GitLab.com, GitLab Dedicated, and GitLab Dedicated for Government (FedRAMP).
This role requires availability during US West Coast business hours. Candidates based on the West Coast are preferred, though candidates in other time zones who are comfortable working these hours are also welcome to apply. This role may require some after hours and weekend time to support SIRT engineers during high severity incidents.

About the team
The Security Incident Response Team is a globally distributed team of incident response engineers split across three core regions; AMER, APAC and EMEA, and is at the forefront of security events that impact both GitLab’s products and company. We are both proactive and reactive, responding to security alerts, leading security investigations, conducting threat hunts and collaborating with peer Security Operations teams to conduct purple teaming exercises, build threat detections, improve security telemetry and investigate trending threats. Even though we’re a global team, we work together in a cross-regional manner and have automation and processes to facilitate collaboration when resolving incidents, handovers, and general collaboration for project work as well.
