Role
Who you are
- Professional experience with JavaScript (Vue.js) and static site generators (like Hugo)
- Professional experience with Ruby and Rails
- Demonstrated capacity to clearly and concisely communicate about complex technical, architectural, and/or organizational problems and propose thorough iterative solutions
- Experience with performance and optimization problems and a demonstrated ability to both diagnose and prevent these problems
- Comfort working in a highly agile, intensely iterative software development process
- Experience with CI/CD Platforms
What the job involves
- At GitLab, our Technical Writing team is responsible for ensuring that the documentation for all of our products is clear, correct, comprehensive, and easy to use
- The Technical Writing team manages the docs.gitlab.com site and its content, processes, and tooling
- As a Senior Fullstack Engineer on the Technical Writing team, you are central to the effective functioning of docs.gitlab.com
- It's an exciting time to join the Tech Writing team as an Engineer - we’ve just re-platformed the docs site to Hugo, and we are beginning to work with Marketing on a translation/localization project
- We must keep the site stable and efficient while adding functionality
- Partnering with the other Engineers on the team, you have the opportunity to help modernize, improve, and maintain the platform that is of utmost importance to people using GitLab
- You’ll be at the leading edge of DevSecOps while collaborating with Technical Writers and the wider GitLab community
- Develop features and improvements to the documentation site in a secure, well-tested, and performant way
- Analyze and interpret highly complex data to arrive at actionable recommendations
- Collaborate with the Technical Writing Director and other stakeholders (e.g. UX) to maintain a high bar for quality in a fast-paced, iterative environment
- Advocate for improvements to site quality, security, and performance
- Solve technical problems of high scope and complexity
- 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
- Represent GitLab and its values in public communications around specific projects and community contributions
- Confidently ship small features and improvements with minimal guidance and support from other team members. Collaborate with the team on larger projects
- Suggest and perform enhancements to the look-and-feel of the documentation website
- Help support the Technical Writing team by answering team member questions and triaging/responding to issues
- Coordinate with various stakeholders regarding site content or structure changes
- Maintain and improve the CI/CD pipelines, build processes, and review environments
- Improve content-authoring experience and tooling
- Perform and/or coordinate/delegate resolution of any other docs site issues related to infrastructure, code, architecture, projects, security, CI/CD, builds, deployments, upgrades, performance, scalability, metrics, monitoring, etc
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 capitalize on the recent trend toward rapid digital transformation and remote working. This trend is expected to continue 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.
