An Overview Of This Role

As a Senior Security Engineer on GitLab\'s Security Incident Response Team (SIRT), you will be on the frontline of protecting both GitLab.com and GitLab the company from security threats.

Role

This role follows a compressed four-day workweek, with standard full-time hours spread across four extended shifts. To ensure 24/7/365 security coverage, team members work one of two schedules:

Sunday through Wednesday

Your primary focus will be detecting and responding to security incidents during your scheduled shifts. You\'ll work extensively with our incident response automation tools to investigate, analyze, and resolve security events. You\'ll also have opportunities to contribute to our security tooling and automation, helping to improve our detection and response capabilities.

In this role, you\'ll develop expertise using our security infrastructure to monitor for threats, analyze potential incidents, and coordinate response efforts across teams.

You\'ll learn to think both tactically and strategically about security, while getting hands-on experience handling real-world incidents.

Successful Security Engineers thrive in high-pressure environments, remaining calm while following prepared runbooks and thinking critically about security challenges. In this role, you will learn to think like both an attacker and defender, developing proactive and preventative security measures to keep GitLab and its users\' data safe in our ever-changing threat landscape. Through hands-on experience and mentorship, you\'ll develop the skills needed to anticipate security risks, respond effectively to incidents, and contribute to GitLab\'s robust security posture.
