Job Description

GitLab is an open core software company that develops the most comprehensive AI-powered DevSecOps Platform, used by more than 100,000 organizations. Our mission is to enable everyone to contribute to and co-create the software that powers our world. When everyone can contribute, consumers become contributors, significantly accelerating the rate of human progress. This mission is integral to our culture, influencing how we hire, build products, and lead our industry. We make this possible at GitLab by running our operations on our product and staying aligned with our values.

This is a 100% remote position, based in North America OR EMEA. 

About the role

We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer to work on the Create stage of GitLab! The Create stage is one of our strategic priorities so it is a great team to be a part of! We need someone who is experienced with code in this role, not just working with Engineers, but actually coding themselves. You’re not building the application, but you’ll be expected to jump in and test things yourself. You’ll also have a couple of design peers to work directly with in this team!

What you’ll bring:

  • Must have experience coding as you’ll be expected to jump into the tools (like SCM and the Web IDE) to test it yourself.
  • Must have strong interaction design skills, ideally having worked on complex web applications.
  • Strong experience working in highly technical, complex environments.
  • Experience conducting your own research with a variety of methods, and strong decision making skills for when to do research.
  • Experience working in both startups and enterprise is highly beneficial.

About the team

Product Design support the teams at GitLab by becoming experts in our stage group, educating ourselves about the entire product, and staying engaged with user and business goals. We partner closely with our stable counterparts in Product Management and Development. As Product Designers, we are the owners of design judgment. We start with a problem to solve and always first consider what the best experience for the user would be.

How GitLab will support you

Please note that we welcome interest from candidates with varying levels of experience; many successful candidates do not meet every single requirement. Additionally, studies have shown that people from underrepresented groups are less likely to apply to a job unless they meet every single qualification. If you’re excited about this role, please apply and allow our recruiters to assess your application.
