Senior Product Manager, Secure: Composition Analysis

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 who can help us empower our users to leverage open source software with confidence by giving them the tools they need to secure their OSS components and comply with OSS license requirements.

The Composition Analysis group drives customer value by delivering product capabilities across Dependency Scanning and License Compliance. The team is responsible for a key element of securing the software supply chain, and the PM responsible for this charter will have the opportunity to strongly influence the direction of high-interest capabilities such as our Software Bill of Materials, auto-remediation, and dependency proxy.

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

We know there are a million things we can and want to improve about GitLab's software composition analysis capabilities. It'll be your job to work out what we are going to do and how.

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.
