Senior/Staff Fullstack Engineer: Product Analytics at GitLab Inc.

A Few Benefits Of SEG Include

We can guarantee a higher rate of success by incubating ideas inside our larger organization and existing code base while limiting the negative aspects of friction that come from a larger organization.

• There are lots of decisions to be made, which happen more effectively in a single brain.
• There is not enough code for multiple people to work on without running into merge conflicts.
• Starting work earlier allows for more time for other people to contribute. We need to have a head start many years ahead of commercialization.

This Senior/Staff Fullstack Engineer will be working in the Product Analytics SEG.

Responsibilities

• Develop features and improvements in a secure, well-tested, and performant way
• Work closely with company leadership to guide GitLab’s entry into the market represented by the SEG
• Interact with community members and help drive initial user adoption
• Develop strategies for scaling beyond the Incubation phase
• Craft code that meets our internal standards for style, maintainability, and best practices for a high-scale web environment. Maintain and advocate for these standards through code review.
• Regularly demonstrate progress to stake holders

• You are comfortable with changing direction based on stakeholder feedback and market conditions
• You're passionate about great UX
