What the job involves
- As a Practice Engineer on our CX Engineering team, you'll build and improve the platforms, tools, and automation that help GitLab's Customer Success (CS) and Professional Services (PS) teams deliver measurable customer outcomes at scale
- You'll focus on modern web applications, integrations, and service delivery tools that support GitLab's three strategic customer journeys: AI Modernization, Security Modernization, and DevOps Modernization

- You'll collaborate closely with Journey Portfolio Leads and CX stakeholders to translate service needs into technical solutions
- You'll integrate with enterprise platforms like GitLab, Salesforce, Gainsight, and Kantata
- You'll also help drive adoption by creating documentation, delivery kits, and technical artifacts, and by supporting onboarding and troubleshooting for CX Engineering tools
- This is a net-new, highly impactful role on a small, remote-first engineering team
- You'll contribute directly to both the CX Engineering platform portfolio and the customer experience
- You'll be part of a "center of excellence" for how GitLab delivers services at scale

- Congregate: A strategic customer data migration tool that streamlines moving customer data into GitLab at scale
- Evaluate: Instance scanning tool for evaluating GitLab, GitHub, Bitbucket Server, ADO, and Jenkins to assist with scoping out services
- Build and maintain journey-enabling platforms, assessment tools, dashboards, and portals that help Customer Success (CS) and Professional Services (PS) deliver customer outcomes at scale, aligned with GitLab's strategic customer journeys (AI, Security, and DevOps Modernization)
- Design and develop custom applications using modern web technologies (Vue.js, React, TypeScript, Python) deployed on GitLab Pages or cloud infrastructure, with a focus on secure, well-tested, and maintainable code
- Create and enhance integrations between CX Engineering tools and enterprise platforms such as the GitLab API, Salesforce, Gainsight, and Kantata
- Implement automation that reduces manual effort in service delivery, improves operational efficiency, and supports consistent, high-quality execution
- Create delivery kits, technical artifacts, and documentation that enable CX teams to adopt tools, understand architecture, and troubleshoot common issues
- Collaborate with Journey Portfolio Leads and CX stakeholders to translate service requirements into technical solutions, and support CS and PS teams through issue triage, onboarding sessions, and ongoing platform improvements
Our take
GitLab is an open-source collaboration platform for developers. It enables teams to build code quickly from anywhere without compromising on security or quality. GitLab already has an estimated 30M+ users from all over the world.
According to a 2021 GitLab report, 60% of developers can release code 2x faster with DevOps platforms that bring teams together and accelerate processes. It stands out by catering to programmers of all experiences. Gitlab's version control system helps streamline the process of creating, maintaining, and deploying code, whoever you are.
GitLab was in the right place to capitalise on the recent trend toward rapid digital transformation and remote working. This trend is expected to grow, and with it, GitLab's popularity. With its successful 2021 IPO and the patronage of major brands such as Nasdaq and Jaguar Land Rover, GitLab is expected to solidify its position as the go-to platform for development teams.
