Job Description
The GitLab DevOps platform empowers 100,000+ organizations to deliver software faster and more efficiently. We are one of the world’s largest all-remote companies with 2,000+ team members and values that guide a culture where people embrace the belief that everyone can contribute.
We're looking for a Senior Product Manager to build the GitLab Dedicated administrative portal (Switchboard). Customers using GitLab Dedicated (ie tenants) should have a delightful experience provisioning and managing their GitLab instance with little to no support from GitLab. Tenants should be empowered to change configurations, such as SAML, Private Link or the IP allowlist. Your goal is to work closely with tenants and prospective customers to identify critical jobs to be done. You'll then work with the engineering team to develop Switchboard from Prototype to General Availability and beyond.
We recommend looking at our company page and the product handbook to get started.
