Summary from the posting
- Set the technical direction for the team's agentic systems, from how agents are orchestrated to where a step should stay human-owned, and defend those calls once they're tested against real code.
- Discover and prioritize sources of friction across GitLab's SDLC, driving the fix , agentic, process-based, or both , from a rough hypothesis through to a shipped, measured result.
- Work across any part of GitLab's codebase as the problem requires, since this team operates like a small, generalist group rather than one scoped to a single service.
