The Security Automation role focuses on developing internal tooling and automation mechanisms to scale the security team.

- Assess security tools and integrate tools as needed
- Assist with recruiting activities and administrative work
- Define and own metrics and key performance indicators to determine the effectiveness of security programs
- Define, implement, and monitor security measures to protect GitLab.com and company assets
Requirements
- Previous experience on a Security Operations team, especially experience coordinating responses to security incidents
- Extensive scripting/coding experience with one or more languages
- Extensive knowledge of Internet security issues, cloud architectures, and threat landscape
- Solid understanding of the Software as a Service (SaaS) model
- Experience with Cloud Computing Platforms – especially GCP and GCP-related services
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Demonstrable teamwork skills and resourcefulness

About GitLab
GitLab Inc. is a company based on the GitLab open-source project. GitLab is a community project to which over 1,000 people worldwide have contributed. We are an active participant in this community, trying to serve its needs and lead by example. We have one vision : everyone can contribute to all digital content, and our mission is to change all creative work from read-only to read-write so that everyone can contribute.
We value results, transparency, sharing, freedom, efficiency, frugality, collaboration, directness, kindness, diversity, boring solutions, and quirkiness. If these values match your personality, work ethic, and personal goals, we encourage you to visit our primer to learn more. Open source is our culture, our way of life, our story, and what makes us truly unique.
