Enable cross-functional collaboration - coordinate effectively with peer SecOps teams, Legal, Customer Support, and Infrastructure to resolve incidents and close defense gaps through actionable retrospective mitigations.
Align the team on defensive improvements - drive insights from alerts, investigations, and incidents to improve GitLab's security posture and support a "shift left" mindset.

Customer-facing credibility - comfortable representing GitLab Security during customer escalations and high-visibility cybersecurity discussions.
Proactive hunting and threat intelligence - proficiency in threat hunting based on intelligence, and familiarity with supply chain threats targeting SaaS platforms.
AI and automation mindset - experience using AI/LLMs to improve incident response workflows and automate repetitive processes.
Platform familiarity - experience using GitLab (or a comparable DevSecOps platform) for project tracking; bonus if you have experience responding to threats against a SaaS platform.
Prioritization under pressure - ability to make sound operational decisions quickly, escalate issues cleanly, and guide the team on balancing what is urgent versus what is important.
