An overview of this role

Most GitLab customers operate their own self-managed GitLab instance. Cloud Connector enables self-managed customers to access AI and other cloud-connected features. As the senior product manager on this team, your primary focus will be on enabling AI capabilities across the DevSecOps domain. Your core challenge will be to balance the short-term priority of maximizing GitLab’s AI investment velocity over a three- to six- month time horizon, while building out longer term platform capabilities for other cloud-connected products.

You will have the opportunity to define and influence the direction of a relatively new domain, while playing a meaningful role in support of GitLab’s AI investments. You will help drive prioritization decisions between investments in platform capabilities, versus feature-specific areas. Your impact will accelerate the time-to-market for multiple GitLab features by simplifying feature development across GitLab’s multiple deployment options (SaaS, Dedicated, and self-managed).

You will own and introduce platform capabilities such as:

• Unit primitives for pricing and packaging,
• Self-managed onboarding experience for AI capabilities, and
• Authentication systems that validate self-managed instances.

This is a role that requires a strong ability to lead through influence, and work effectively with a diverse group of stakeholders.
