  • 5+ years professional experience in computer technology, including IT, technical support, or engineering.
  • Strong understanding of computer code and ability to detect and remediate common security defects, race conditions, and logic vulnerabilities.
  • Programming experience in one or more coding languages, preferred Ruby on Rails or Go.
  • Comfortable with shell scripting to automate recurring work or build PoC exploits.
  • Strong knowledge of application security concepts such as OWASP Top 10, STRIDE, CVSS, and threat modeling assessments.
  • Experience with application security practices : code review, threat modeling, static and dynamic analysis (SAST, DAST), and attack surface analysis.
  • Experience performing application penetration testing or vulnerability research / bug bounty hunting.
  • Ability to provide subject matter expertise on software architecture design and system security.
  • Familiar with common security libraries and controls for Ruby on Rails applications.
  • Demonstrated ability to learn new technical concepts in cloud and web application security assessment.
  • Strong communication skills, able to collaborate with technical and non‑technical audiences across teams.
  • Fluent in English, both written and verbal, suitable for a remote, asynchronous environment.
  • Comfortable using Git.
  • Experience with standard web application security tools such as Brakeman and BurpSuite.
  • How GitLab Will Support You

  • Benefits to support health, finances, and well‑being.
  • Flexible paid time off.
  • Team Member Resource Groups.
  • Equity compensation and employee stock purchase plan.
  • Growth and development fund.
  • Parental leave.
  • Home office support.
