An overview of this role
As a Customer Success Architect, you'll serve as a strategic technical advisor to some of GitLab's most important enterprise customers across Singapore. In this role, you'll help customers connect GitLab's intelligent DevSecOps platform to their business goals and achieve meaningful, long-term outcomes. You'll work closely with customers after the sale to turn pre-sales command plans into clear success plans, guide them through their customer journey, and support adoption, utilization, and technical maturity.
Reporting into the APJ Customer Success organization, you'll own a portfolio of enterprise customers, act as their primary GitLab liaison for questions and escalations, and coordinate with teams across Product Management, Engineering, Sales, Professional Services, and Support. You'll bring technical depth in CI/CD, cloud platforms, and DevSecOps practices to help customers apply best practices, configure GitLab for their environments, and stay current with platform capabilities. In your first year, success will look like building strong relationships with key stakeholders, increasing platform adoption and technical maturity, and supporting retention, growth, and customer satisfaction across your portfolio.
Some examples of our projects:
- Turning pre-sales command plans into measurable customer success plans that align technical adoption with business outcomes
- Guiding enterprise customers on GitLab best practices across CI/CD, DevSecOps, cloud architecture, and platform consolidation
What you’ll do
- Partner with customers to translate pre-sales command plans and desired business outcomes into actionable objectives, clear success criteria, and measurable KPIs tracked over time.
- Build and maintain Customer Success Plans within assigned accounts, defining critical goals, adoption milestones, and remediation actions — reviewed regularly with customer stakeholders.
- Guide customers on GitLab platform best practices including Git workflows, branching strategies, CI/CD pipeline design, DevSecOps adoption patterns, and security scanning configuration.
- Own a book of enterprise or Government customers and drive adoption, retention, expansion, and overall satisfaction through ongoing strategic and technical engagement.
- Act as the primary GitLab liaison for assigned accounts, coordinating responses to questions, issues, and escalations across Support, Product Management, Sales, and Professional Services.
- Program manage account escalations end-to-end — ensuring root causes are identified, follow-up actions are owned, timelines are tracked, and stakeholders across multiple teams are kept informed throughout.
- Provide hands-on technical enablement and onboarding, including education on GitLab features, releases, and use cases, and identification of training and maturity opportunities aligned to customer goals.
- Engage customers on cloud platform architecture decisions relevant to their GitLab deployment — including self-managed vs. GitLab Dedicated, Runner configuration and auto-scaling, secrets management, and network topology considerations.
- Advise customers on DevSecOps consolidation value — articulating the TCO, compliance, and developer experience case for platform consolidation over fragmented toolchains.
- Collaborate with Professional Services, Sales, and internal teams to identify expansion opportunities, recommend enablement interventions, and ensure a seamless customer journey from onboarding through renewal.
What you’ll bring
- Must be a Singapore Citizen and based in Singapore
- Mandatory English and Chinese language (Mandarin) proficiency
- Hands-on experience building or owning CI/CD pipelines end to end, including pipeline as code, multi-stage design, artifact management, and troubleshooting in real-world environments.
- Working knowledge of DevSecOps practices, including shift-left security and integrating SAST, DAST, SCA, and container scanning into development workflows.
- Practical understanding of Git, merge request workflows, branching strategies such as trunk-based development and GitFlow, and modern software delivery lifecycles.
- Familiarity with infrastructure as code, GitOps principles, and cloud or on-premises environments that support GitLab deployments, including networking, identity and access management, secrets management, and deployment considerations.
- Experience partnering with customers to turn business outcomes into actionable success plans, measurable goals, and executive-ready reporting.
- Strong communication, stakeholder management, and organization skills to manage a portfolio of enterprise customers, balance multiple priorities, guide escalations, and coordinate effectively across customer teams and internal partners.
