Lead the design and delivery of multi-cloud cell placement and orchestration systems that support GitLab's cell-based architecture. Build and grow the engineering team responsible for cell infrastructure, spanning architecture, delivery, and production operations. Drive infrastructure cost visibility and optimization by partnering with finance and platform teams to make unit economics part of the system design. Own the reliability model for cell infrastructure, including on-call practices, incident response, and postmortem follow-through. Partner with adjacent teams such as Git infrastructure, Artifact Registry, Duo Agent Platform, and CI/CD to support their scaling and deployment needs. Define and evolve architectural decisions for cross-cloud routing, data residency, and infrastructure portability. Develop platform capabilities and developer tooling that let teams deploy on top of cell infrastructure without needing to understand its internal complexity. Represent the team in cross-functional planning with senior engineering stakeholders on GitLab's broader cells and multi-cloud strategy.
