Director of Engineering, Organizations & Cells (Fully Remote)

• GitLab.com is being rebuilt as a horizontally scalable cluster using Organizations and Cells to enable a 100x increase in headroom without customers ever seeing a cell.
• This charter turns data residency, regional control, and in-region AI compute into product capabilities rather than deployment exceptions.

What you will do:

• Deliver the Cells and Organizations roadmap including cell provisioning, lifecycle, routing and topology, and data migration tooling.
• Execute cohort-based migration of customer Organizations onto cells with zero data loss, verified rollback, and no downtime.
• Build and run the engineering organization, hiring and developing managers and senior ICs across several teams.

How success is measured:

• Customer Organizations running on cells in production, migrated cleanly and on schedule.
• Availability and latency improvements attributable to isolation and load distribution.
• Infrastructure cost per unit of capacity trending down as the footprint grows.
