An overview of this role

As an Intermediate Security Engineer on GitLab's Security Incident Response Team (SIRT), you will be on the frontline of protecting both GitLab.com and GitLab the company from security threats. This role operates on a compressed 4-day work schedule, with a full-time week's hours condensed into four longer working days.
