• Ability to work effectively in distributed, async-first teams across multiple time zones
• Experience explaining complex technical and security concepts to engineers and stakeholders

About the team

The Software Composition Analysis team is part of GitLab's Sec Engineering group, and we focus on building capabilities that help customers identify and manage risks in their software supply chain. We work across areas including dependency scanning, container scanning, and license scanning, and we work closely with product, UX, security, and adjacent engineering teams to close important feature gaps in GitLab's platform.
