## Description

GitLab is seeking an Engineering Manager for its Authentication team in Bangalore, India. As an Engineering Manager on GitLab's Authentication team, you'll build and lead a team of engineers who own how users, applications, tokens, and artificial intelligence (AI) agents sign in to GitLab.

### Responsibilities

- Hire, onboard, and grow a team of senior and intermediate engineers in Bangalore, working with talent acquisition during a high-volume hiring period.

- Own delivery for your team's part of the authentication roadmap: plan in milestones, track risks early, and communicate clearly when a date is at risk and what would change it.

- Work with your Staff Engineer and Product Manager to turn architecture decisions into shippable, feature-flagged increments.

- Protect your team's focus. Manage requests from other teams through one intake path, and make trade-offs visible to leadership.

- Coordinate with the GATE Core, GATE Infra, Authorization, and Tenant Scale (Cells and Organizations) teams across India, Europe, and the Americas.

- Make sure the team runs what it builds, including on-call coverage, incident response for authentication issues, rate limits, and production readiness for new services.

- Build a team culture where security comes first, decisions are written down, and code review is thorough and kind.

- Give clear, regular feedback, run career conversations, and handle performance issues early.

- Take part in on-call or operational support where your team’s ownership model requires it.

### Requirements

- Significant experience as an engineering manager of backend or platform teams, including hiring and growing senior engineers.

- A background as an engineer in identity, authentication, or security systems, with enough depth in OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SAML, and JSON Web Tokens to review designs and ask probing questions.

- Experience delivering complex, multi-team programs against fixed dates, including migrations that must not disrupt existing customers.

- Experience running production services, including on-call coverage, incident response, and reliability work.

- Working knowledge of Ruby on Rails or Go.

- Experience building a new team or growing one quickly while keeping the hiring bar high.

- Clear, concise written English and comfort leading a team in an all-remote, asynchronous company across time zones.

### Benefits

- Benefits to support your health, finances, and well-being

- Flexible Paid Time Off

- Team Member Resource Groups

- Equity Compensation & Employee Stock Purchase Plan
