About the Role We are looking for a Distinguished Engineer to pioneer and scale autonomous, agentic SDLC capabilities across GitLab. Distinguished Engineers are recognized experts across multiple technology domains and represent the most senior level of technical leadership within and across divisions at the company. In this role you will deeply immerse in GitLab's product and internal engineering workflows to identify classes of problems that can be wholly or largely addressed by AI agents, validate them through rigorous experimentation in production-adjacent environments, and codify patterns that can be productized for our millions of users. You will act as a bridge between Architecture, Product, Infrastructure, and Data and ML teams, ensuring that agentic capabilities deliver durable value internally first and then scale reliably and securely to our customers. The level for this role will be determined through the interview process and may be scoped as either Distinguished Engineer or Fellow Engineer based on the depth and breadth of experience demonstrated. What You'll Do • Define and continuously refine a company-wide technical vision for autonomous, agentic SDLC that aligns with GitLab's product strategy and Engineering job architecture • Identify and prioritize non-linear productivity opportunities across the SDLC, from planning and coding to review, security, compliance, and operations, targeting 10x step changes rather than incremental gains • Translate ambiguous problem spaces into concrete, iterable roadmaps in partnership with Product, AI and ML, and Architecture teams • Lead hands-on experiments and prototypes to validate where agentic workflows can fully own or materially reshape engineering tasks, including autonomous MR authoring, test creation and triage, security remediation, release readiness, and incident response • Design and implement reference architectures for agentic SDLC inside GitLab, including orchestration patterns, safety guardrails, observability, and human-in-the-loop controls • Define evaluation frameworks using offline benchmarks and online experiments to measure correctness, latency, safety, cost, and productivity impact of agentic workflows • Select and own a small set of high-impact internal use cases as pathfinders and d
