• Drive tactical execution of the Application Security program: scaling the team for non linear security gains, security reviews enhancements and secure design consultations for high-risk changes.
• Lead AI adoption within the Application Security team: leverage AI-assisted/automated workflows for review triage, threat model generation, code analysis, and operational toil reduction. Champion practical AI use without losing critical thinking rigor.
• Recommend and drive security-related technical and process improvements.
• Author and execute project plans for security initiatives. Set schedules and assignments, anticipate roadblocks, and measure performance against goals.
• Provide input on security architecture, features, and issues. Serve as a partner and enabler to Product and Engineering teams on application security decisions.
• Partner with Security Architecture, Infrastructure Security, Security Research, and Security Operations on end-to-end risk reduction, aligning Application Security work with broader Product Security objectives.

What you’ll bring

• Demonstrable prior people management experience in application security or a closely related security engineering discipline, preferably in high-velocity R&D organizations.
• Deep familiarity with application security domains: secure code review, threat modeling, vulnerability management, secure SDLC, and common vulnerability classes (OWASP Top 10, CWE), whether from direct Application Security roles or from owning secure delivery of complex systems.
• Demonstrated success building trust with Product and Engineering peers, influencing security related decisions, and co-owning outcomes rather than acting solely as a gate.
• Comfort with AI-augmented workflows and enthusiasm for leveraging tools like GitLab Duo to scale the Application Security function, along with strong alignment to GitLab’s values and a track record of thriving in a highly collaborative, remote-first culture.
• Good at establishing clear guidance and distributing the workload appropriately. Lays out work in a well-planned and organized manner, maintains two-way dialogue with others on work and results and is a clear communicator.
• Accurately scopes the length and difficulty of projects, breaks them into clear process steps with owners and timelines, anticipates problems before they stall progress, and consistently measures performance against goals to evaluate what worked and what didn't.
• Breaks down complex problems with rigorous analysis, surfacing hidden risks and delivering conclusions that withstand scrutiny.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with demonstrated experience in executive-level communications in an all-remote, asynchronous environment.
• Consistently delivers above expectations, drives measurable results and raises the performance bar for the entire team.
• Nice to have: Experience with security requirements and frameworks relevant to GitLab’s customers (e.g., FedRAMP, ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI-DSS); experience in DevSecOps or shift-left security models in SaaS or open-source environments; deep familiarity with CI/CD pipeline security, software supply chain security, or identity and access management (AuthN/Z).

About the team

Application Security Engineers are part of our Security Platforms & Architecture team, which protects GitLab’s platform and products by identifying, prioritizing, and mitigating security risks across the entire product lifecycle. Composed of Security Architecture, Application Security, and Security Research, we combine strategic security architecture with operational application security to enable GitLab to be the most secure software factory platform on the market.

The AppSec team operates on a set of guiding principles rooted in the leader-leader model: decisions belong where the information lives, every team member is a leader, not a task executor, and operational hygiene is non-negotiable. The manager is the primary steward of these principles.

QuEra Computing Japan is hiring our first dedicated Mechanical Engineer in Japan to design, prototype, integrate, and maintain mechanical systems for the current and next generation neutral atom quantum computers, and the facility around them. This is a hybrid designer-builder role: equally comfortable proposing a solution in CAD and picking up tools to build, install, and iterate on it in the lab. You will own problems end-to-end — identify the issue, design the fix, coordinate local fabrication, install and validate it — and serve as the local technical bridge to Japanese machine shops, contract manufacturers, and NEDO-supported suppliers, working alongside teams in the US and UK. Professional fluency in both English and Japanese is essential.

Key Responsibilities

• Design precision mechanical assemblies — frames, mounts, enclosures, opto-mechanical hardware, shrouds — with attention to rigidity, vibration, and thermal stability.
• Update and own CAD models and 2D drawings for QuEra’s Gemini system at AIST, to match the as-built machine.
• Design and install water cooling loops, leak containment, and thermal management for laser and electronic subsystems.
• Design and install laser safety engineering controls: beam shrouds, periscopes, beam blocks, light-tight enclosures.
• Identify performance, safety, and ergonomics issues; propose options with tradeoffs; implement the fix (braces, maintenance steps, rack accessibility).
• Inspect, assemble, and install quantum computer modules; build unit testing benches for R&D supplier components; apply root-cause and preventive thinking to the product.
• Coordinate with Japanese machine shops and contract manufacturers; translate Boston/UK designs to local standards; support component validation.
• Apply DfM/DfA and maintain technical documentation — specs, drawings, assembly and maintenance instructions.
• General hands-on technical work: wiring, assembling, cleaning, plugging light leaks, deburring, small fabrication fixes. We are a startup.

Required Qualifications

• Degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent practical experience.
• Proficiency in Autodesk Inventor or comparable 3D CAD, with willingness to work primarily in Inventor.
• Experience designing precision mechanical systems; strong grasp of structural mechanics, tolerancing, materials, manufacturing, and thermal management.
• Hands-on prototyping and lab experience; comfort with shop tools, benchwork, and installing your own designs.
• Professional English and Japanese, including “mechanical engineer” Japanese for specifications and supplier communication.

Preferred Qualifications

• Scientific instrumentation, precision optics, opto-mechanical design; experience with optics, lasers, and laser safety.
• Thermal management and liquid cooling; power electronics; GD&T; PDM/PLM (Autodesk Vault preferred).
• DfM/DfA and prior work with machine shops, particularly in Japan; experience in international, distributed engineering teams.
