As an Engineering Manager, Observability, Monitoring, and Integrations (Monetization), you'll manage a team focused on observability, reliability, and secure cross-system integrations across GitLab's Monetization area. This is a people-first management role where you'll hire and develop the team, guide technical direction, and help shape an AI-native approach to detecting anomalies and improving performance in business-critical workflows.

You'll work closely with product, design, sales, go-to-market, finance, information technology, and support engineering to turn business needs into reliable customer experiences. In your first year, you'll stand up the team, establish operating rhythms and incident response practices, and improve the reliability, availability, and data quality of fulfillment systems that directly affect revenue and the customer experience.

• Strong technical judgment across architecture, system design, and pragmatic delivery for complex integrations and business-critical workflows.
• Experience working on purchasing, billing, provisioning, subscription, commerce, or other revenue-impacting systems.
• Knowledge of observability-first architectures, including tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, and modern incident management tooling.
• Experience defining service level indicators and targets, writing runbooks, and coordinating incident management in operationally rigorous environments.
• Strong collaboration and written communication skills in asynchronous, handbook-first teams that work across engineering, product, finance, customer service, and go-to-market functions.
• Ability to translate complex technical and product issues into clear, actionable language for both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Sound judgment when handling confidential or financial information, customer-facing incidents, and changes that can affect revenue, with openness to transferable experience from related domains.

The Fulfillment team builds and operates the infrastructure behind GitLab's purchasing workflows, and we partner closely with sales, finance, information technology, and support to deliver secure, reliable buyer experiences. Within the broader Monetization section, we focus on the systems and integrations that connect billing, provisioning, subscriptions, and usage across multiple platforms. We work asynchronously across regions with a strong emphasis on planning, retrospectives, operational ownership, and safe rollouts.
