An overview of this role

The Trusted Agentic Development team sits within GitLab's Developer Experience group and builds the platforms our own engineers rely on every day. GitLab engineers increasingly build software with artificial intelligence (AI) agents. Agents generate code and tests in seconds, so speed is no longer the constraint. Confidence is. Agents can produce a passing test suite for software that doesn't work as intended, and a reviewer may not be able to tell the difference without redoing the work by hand.

As Engineering Manager, Trusted Agentic Development, you'll build and lead the team that closes this gap. You'll help define what validation means when the author is an agent and make the feedback loop fast, automatic, and trustworthy. You'll point the team at the right version of an open problem and earn adoption across GitLab by building the best path, not by mandating a process.

• Validation that confirms agent-generated code does what was intended, so a passing suite means a working feature and not just a satisfied proxy.
• Mid-loop feedback that helps an agent self-correct toward working software instead of green assertions.
• Language-aware approaches under one shared model of what "trusted" means, starting with Rust, Ruby, and Go, while allowing the right technique to differ by language.
