As the Director, Enterprise Architecture and AI Intelligent Automation (IA), you will define and govern how GitLab's internal systems connect, integrate, and evolve to support our rapidly scaling business. Reporting to the VP, Business Systems, you will lead our Enterprise Architecture, Integration, & RPA teams, setting the architectural standards, governance frameworks, and strategic vision that keep our technology landscape coherent, scalable, and aligned with business objectives. This role is both deeply strategic and hands-on: you will shape the long-term architecture while staying close enough to the work to guide critical technical decisions across teams.
As the architectural leader for GitLab's internal technology ecosystem, you will establish and lead our Architecture Review Board, partnering early and often with system owners so architecture becomes an enabler rather than a gate. You will rationalize our automation and integration landscape, clarify when to use AI, RPA, or traditional integration, reduce shadow IT and software sprawl, and drive clear patterns for data flows and system-of-record designations.
What you'll do
The Enterprise Architecture team at GitLab is responsible for designing, governing, and evolving the internal technology landscape that powers our business. We define how our core systems connect, integrate automation and AI into everyday workflows, and ensure our architecture is scalable, secure, and aligned with company priorities. Composed of experienced architects and engineers across integration, RPA, and AI, we operate asynchronously and partner closely with system owners in functions such as Sales, Finance, Customer Success, and Operations. We focus on setting clear architectural standards, rationalizing tools and automation, and guiding teams in using modern AI technologies to deliver measurable business impact while maintaining strong compliance and security practices.
