  Site Reliability Engineers (SREs) are responsible for keeping all user-facing services and other GitLab production systems running smoothly. SREs are a blend of pragmatic operators and software craftspeople that apply sound engineering principles, operational discipline, and mature automation to our environments and the GitLab codebase.

  Are able to leverage GitLab as your day to day go-to tool.

  Have experience regularly interacting with customers, and a focus on resolving their requests with a sense of urgency.

  Engage with US Public Sector entities to ensure successful implementation of GitLab services to meet Federal and regulatory requirements.
