• Foster an environment that values engineering excellence from Enterprise-grade scalability, Database performance, and fault tolerance to world-class web accessibility, performance beyond Web Vitals, semantic markup and bulletproof CSS best-practices. • Hire, onboard, and develop team members who embody GitLab's values and contribute to building a peak-performance organization. • Manage and improve agile, remote, async workflows so the team can iteratively deliver platform improvements and crucial features, communicating proactively when priorities shift or blockers emerge. • Partner with Product Management, Product Design, and cross-functional engineering teams to align frontend and backend architecture with business goals and user needs. Maintain clear visibility into bug backlog health, stalled MRs, and milestone misses. Proactively address patterns of delayed execution before they require leadership escalation. • Conduct regular 1-to-1 meetings, provide continuous feedback, and support engineers' professional growth through coaching and skill development opportunities.
