This Fullstack Engineering Manager position for our API Security Team is 100% remote. 

As a Fullstack Engineering Manager in our Secure sub-department, you will directly manage the API Security team. API Security is a broad category that incorporates everything from API discovery and management to DAST API and API fuzz testing to active API defense. Our goal is to provide API Security scanning for our customers to be used as part of the standard development process.

This is a product development team with engineers who predominantly work in C#. Their features are delivered through the GitLab DevOps Platform, which is written in Ruby on Rails. The Engineering Manager's responsibility is primarily their team. They need to be familiar with GitLab's underlying technologies and processes to be able to support their team, as well as be the final decisive vote in cases where the team is blocked on a decision.

Their focus is building a world-class team (hiring and coaching), and putting them in the best position to succeed. The role requires a manager capable of working with a dedicated team, and collaborating with counterparts in engineering, product and usability, and infrastructure. They must also efficiently coordinate across departments to accomplish collaborative goals. 

The culture here at GitLab is something we're incredibly proud of. Some of the benefits you'll be entitled to vary by the region or country you're in. However, all GitLab team members are fully remote and receive a "no ask, must tell" paid-time-off policy, where we don't count the number of days you take off annually — instead, we focus on your results. You can work the hours you choose, enabled by our asynchronous approach to communication. You can also expect equity compensation and a competitive salary. Our compensation calculator will be shared with selected candidates before any interview.

Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DIB) are fundamental to the success of GitLab. We want to infuse DIB in every way possible and in all that we do. We strive to create a transparent environment where all team members around the world feel that their voices are heard and welcomed. We also aim to be a place where people can show up as their full selves each day and contribute their best. With more than 100,000 organizations using GitLab, our goal is to have a team that is representative of our users.

• Collaborate with people across a variety of disciplines.
• Help define and improve our internal standards for style, maintainability, and best practices for a high-scale web environment. Maintain and advocate for these standards through code review.

You'll stand out if you bring:

• Experience working as an engineer or engineering manager on teams building Application Security or API Management features.
• Strong understanding of API architectures and how they're defined in systems.
• Knowledge of API testing techniques.
