An overview of this role GitLab’s Security Assurance organization is responsible for how GitLab designs, tests, and evidences the controls that protect the business. This role operates the technology compliance program across the systems that run the company, and is deliberately framework- and department-agnostic: the same control discipline applies wherever a system is material to financial reporting, security commitments, customer contracts, or regulatory obligations. In scope are IT-owned corporate applications and identity infrastructure, Corporate Security tooling, Engineering-owned applications that support business operations (usage-based billing, subscription and entitlement tracking, metering, provisioning), and third-party SaaS where GitLab retains control responsibility. SOX ITGC is one driver of this work, not the whole of it. You will design a control once and satisfy multiple assurance consumers from the same evidence. You will also support corporate security policy work in partnership with the Security Governance team, and help set standards for the governed use of AI across the corporate and business-systems estate. Some examples of our projects: • Building a control set for an Engineering-owned billing or subscription system that satisfies SOX ITGC, SOC 2, and customer contractual commitments from a single body of evidence. • Setting the standard for how AI tools, agents, and integrations are used in corporate and business systems — what acceptable use looks like, what evidence is required, and when a use case needs Legal, Privacy, or Internal Audit review. • Automating recurring evidence collection so access reviews and change-management testing stop being a manual quarterly scramble. What you’ll do • Design, document, and maintain IT General Controls and security controls across the in-scope estate, and test them for design and operating effectiveness against regulatory, contractual, and corporate policy requirements. • Map shared controls once and test them to serve multiple obligations at the same time — SOX, SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, NIST CSF, PCI-DSS, privacy regulations, and customer contractual commitments. • Serve as the compliance point of contact and liaison for the IT, Corporate Security, Engineering, and Finance teams that own in-scope systems, so a single assessment serves Security Governance, Security Risk, Internal
