An overview of this role As a Senior Professional Services Engineer, you'll own delivery workstreams on federal engagements in FedRAMP-authorized cloud environments, Department of Defense (DoD) Impact Level 4 and 5 enclaves, and fully disconnected networks.

You'll install and configure GitLab in classified and air-gapped environments, migrate agencies from legacy tooling, train government technical staff, and advise customers on how GitLab fits their security and compliance posture. You'll work directly with program managers, engagement managers, Federal account teams, and agency stakeholders. You'll also collaborate with GitLab Product and Engineering when customer requirements don't have a clear answer yet, which happens often in this segment. What you’ll do - Deliver assigned Statement of Work scope independently, completing agreed engagement deliverables and escalating architecture decisions to technical architects and senior engineers. - Install, configure, upgrade, troubleshoot, and tune GitLab reference architectures in cloud, on-premises, and air-gapped environments, including Geo, high-availability topologies, and Kubernetes-based deployments. - Complete GitLab installations and upgrades in disconnected networks using offline package management, container registry mirroring, and dependency staging. - Configure GitLab against agency security baselines, including Defense Information Systems Agency Security Technical Implementation Guide (DISA STIG) hardening, Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS)-compliant deployments, and Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) or Personal Identity Verification/Common Access Card (PIV/CAC)-backed authentication. - Build and carry out migration plans from Bitbucket, GitHub Enterprise, Jenkins, and legacy version control systems to GitLab Self-Managed or GitLab Dedicated for Government. - Serve as the primary technical contact for agency engineering and security teams, and run workshops and enablement sessions for government developers, platform teams, and information system security officers. - Translate agency compliance requirements into GitLab configurations, clearly identify where GitLab doesn't yet meet a control, and support authorization work with the technical artifacts and evidence assessors request. - Document implementations, create reusable runbooks and automation, flag scope changes and risks early, support Associate engineers, improve Professional Services delivery practices, and share federal compliance gaps with Product and Engineering.
