Staff Product Manager, AI Agent Orchestration

An overview of this role

As the Staff Product Manager, AI Agent Orchestration Platform at GitLab, you'll help define how intelligent agents work across our AI-powered DevSecOps platform. You'll focus on the core agent orchestration platform, shaping the product direction for foundational capabilities such as agent context, agent memory, background agents, and orchestration workflows. This role sits at the center of an important area for GitLab as we build the future of human-agent collaboration and create product experiences that are useful, reliable, and scalable for technical users.

You'll work with a high degree of latitude while partnering closely with Engineering, Design, Research, and cross-functional stakeholders to turn complex AI platform needs into clear product direction. From day one, new hires get access to the latest AI tools and workflows, helping them stay at the cutting edge of the technology and streamline how work gets done. In this role, you'll balance strategic thinking with execution, helping teams make sound choices about platform capabilities that enable agentic experiences across GitLab. In your first months, you'll focus on clarifying the product vision for the orchestration layer, aligning teams around key problems to solve, and driving progress on the platform foundations needed to enable AI agents to operate effectively.
