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.
