Company Description

Overview

We are seeking two hands-on GitLab Administrators / Platform Engineers for a temporary, bounded migration initiative. The work centers on converting existing automation identities into GitLab native service accounts while preserving dependent CI/CD workflows, permissions, and operational continuity.

Enterprise experience strongly preferred.

Job Description

Key Responsibilities

  • Migrate a defined portfolio of existing service accounts to GitLab native service accounts, one account at a time.
  • Rotate or replace credentials and tokens as each automation identity is cut over.
  • Securely decommission old credentials and access after successful validation.
  • Update permissions and group/project access for migrated automation identities.
  • Diagnose and resolve CI/CD or automation failures caused by credential, token, permission, or identity changes.
  • Coordinate migration timing, validation, and follow-up with the teams that own the affected automation.
  • Support secure, reliable completion of a time-bounded access-remediation initiative.

Qualifications

  • Experience debugging CI/CD or automation integrations that depend on service credentials.
  • Prior experience migrating service accounts or other non-human identities.
  • Experience updating permissions and group/project access for automation identities.
  • Mid-to-senior-level experience.

Nice-to-Have Skills

  • Experience with identity and access migrations.
  • Experience with secrets hygiene or credential-exposure remediation.
  • Experience executing repetitive operational work accurately across many similar accounts or tickets.
  • Prior service-account migrations, permission replication, or token cutovers in GitLab or a similar source-control platform.
  • Ability to untangle unclear ownership and drive follow-up across multiple teams.

Required Tools & Platforms

  • GitLab
  • GitLab native service accounts or comparable non-human identity models
  • CI/CD pipelines and automated tooling
  • Credential and token management workflows
  • Group/project permissions and access controls

Location, Time & Engagement
