AN OVERVIEW OF THIS ROLE

Talent Acquisition at GitLab is evolving — and you'll be at the center of it. As a Senior TA Technology Specialist, you own the full technology infrastructure that powers how GitLab recruits at scale. That means everything from ATS configuration and integrations to AI agent development and automation — you're the technical authority across the entire TA tech stack.

This isn't a 'run the tools' role. You'll architect intelligent workflows, maintain the systems recruiters depend on every day, and build the AI layer that makes those systems smarter over time. You'll serve as the lead TA AI liaison — ensuring every AI tool and agent we deploy meets our standards for security, compliance, and fairness.

If you're energized by the challenge of owning complex technical infrastructure while simultaneously pushing what's possible with AI — and you want to do it at a company that ships fast and trusts you to lead — this role is built for you.
