Senior Product Manager - Applied ML and Insider Threat

We're looking for a Senior Product Manager that can help us work on the future of DevOps and ML/AI. This product manager will play a key role in defining our ML/AI product strategy including the cross-section between MLOps, DataOps, and integrating ML/AI into our single platform for the entire DevSecOps lifecycle. There are a million things we can and want to do with ML/AI and it will be this role’s responsibility to define where we focus our efforts today, tomorrow, and in the future.

With our recent acquisition of UnReview, we have launched our Applied Machine Learning team which will bring workflow automation, powered by machine learning, to identify the correct code reviewer. However, this is just the beginning of what we have planned. This role will take an active role in defining our plans for other applications of ML/AI including our Insider Threat prevention in partnership with our Trust & Safety team helping secure our SaaS platform as well as helping users secure their self-managed deployments. This role will work closely with all Product teams helping these teams achieve their ML/AI goals. 

We believe organizations deserve an intuitive, single application that covers the entire DevSecOps lifecycle. We believe running tests is just the beginning of automation. We believe deploying and monitoring your code and ML models should be automated and repeatable, and most of all, easy. We believe in pushing the boundaries of best-practices, and bringing these to every organization, so that doing the right thing is also the easy, default way of working.

We work in quite a unique way at GitLab, where lots of flexibility and independence is mixed with a high paced, pragmatic way of working. And everything we do is in the open. We recommend looking at our company page and the product handbook to get started.
