Senior Product Designer - Pipeline Security
An overview of this role
As a Senior Product Designer on our Pipeline Security team, you'll be at the forefront of transforming how organizations approach DevSecOps. You'll design intuitive and innovative UI/UX solutions that empower teams to develop software securely and efficiently, where your expertise will directly contribute to reducing business risks without compromising developer velocity.
In this role, you'll craft experiences that provide confidence in software development by increasing visibility into code change impacts in GitLab. Working across both Secrets Management and Build Artifacts categories, you'll create interfaces that enable AppSec professionals, DevOps engineers, and Developers to work more efficiently, with less friction, and greater impact. One of your key initiatives will be designing the new GitLab-native Secrets Manager experience!
Working within a small, nimble team, you'll collaborate directly with researchers and feature teams across various security workflows. You'll have the opportunity to think outside the box and propose bold solutions that could radically change how users interact with sensitive credentials and configuration data. Your designs will cater to mid and large enterprise customers, making complex security configurations easy to manage and maintain.
Secrets management is a key product investment area for GitLab, making this an exceptional opportunity to work on a part of the product with significant focus and visibility. If you're passionate about creating impactful designs in the security space, have experience with enterprise products, and are eager to tackle complex challenges with creativity and expertise, we'd love to have you on board.

About the team
Product Designers are highly collaborative roles at GitLab - you're part of the Product Design org, you report into a Product Design Manager, but work to embed yourself into the feature team that you're working on. You will become an expert in this area, and eventually the broader GitLab product.
Secrets Management: This category is a key product investment area for GitLab. The team’s current focus is to deliver a GitLab-first functionality that can connect to 3rd party application secrets so that teams can safely deploy software. This year’s focus is to provide advanced security and compliance within GitLab. Next to that, we’re working to: Improve the user experience for CI variables settings; Prototype a native secrets manager to better understand how our customers are using secrets to secure workflows; Validate technical and user constraints to the GitLab-native secrets manager experience.
Build Artifacts: This category covers the experiences related to the display of artifact data. The team plans to release UI functionality allowing the bulk delete of build artifacts through the Artifacts page. There are no additional planned features for Build Artifacts in FY24 (2023-02 to 2024-01).
How GitLab will support you
All remote, asynchronous work environment
Home office support
