Team

Infrastructure Platforms is responsible for ensuring that GitLab operates, delivers, and scales efficiently across all offerings, including GitLab.com, GitLab Dedicated, and self-managed customers. We own key platform and infrastructure services that other GitLab teams and customers depend on every day, focusing on reliability, performance, security, and scalability. Our team operates fully remotely and collaborates asynchronously across multiple regions, leveraging GitLab's values of transparency and open communication. We face the challenge of running and evolving a consumer-scale, mission-critical platform while continuously improving how we operate GitLab, and feeding those learnings back into the product to improve the overall customer experience.
