About the team
GitLab Geo is an enterprise product feature, built to distribute GitLab self-hosted deployments to different geographic locations. This is achieved by replicating the entire GitLab dataset to new locations in a coordinated, consistent, and scalable manner. Data can be accessed from any of the locations whilst intelligent proxying techniques guarantee users have access to the most recent data.
Geo’s architecture addresses a number of customer problems that includes acceleration of proximity based data access and disaster recovery.
How GitLab will support you
All remote, asynchronous work environment
Home office support
Please note that we welcome interest from candidates with varying levels of experience; many successful candidates do not meet every single requirement. Additionally, studies have shown that people from underrepresented groups are less likely to apply to a job unless they meet every single qualification. If you're excited about this role, please apply and allow our recruiters to assess your application.
