GitLab is an intelligent orchestration platform for DevSecOps that aims to boost developer productivity, operational efficiency, and security/compliance while accelerating digital transformation, with 50M+ registered users and over half of the Fortune 100 trusting GitLab, and a culture that treats AI as a core productivity multiplier. The Staff Forward Deployed Engineer, Agentic SDLC role (EMEA Only) sits in the Forward Deployed Engineering team, a field-facing product engineering function focused on strategic customer outcomes and AI adoption, working cross-functionally across Product, Engineering, Support, SRE, Solutions Architecture, and Customer Success teams; it is not a traditional field engineering or professional services role. You’ll contribute production-quality code, develop bug fixes and features, diagnose complex adoption blockers, and drive durable product improvements, while providing strategic technical stewardship across product behavior, architecture, CI/CD, APIs, observability, and cloud environments. The role also drives governed, measurable AI adoption of the GitLab Duo Agent Platform for strategic customers, developing AI-assisted development patterns and reusable guidance, with ideal candidates having senior-level experience in complex production systems, strong Ruby on Rails or Go skills, AI governance expertise, and the ability to coordinate across multiple teams. The position is remote globally with benefits, and GitLab emphasizes equal opportunity and nondiscrimination, inviting applicants from diverse backgrounds even if they don’t meet every qualification, while noting location-based eligibility for some roles.
