Company mission
To make it so that everyone can contribute. When everyone can contribute, users become contributors and we greatly increase the rate of innovation.
Role
Who you are
- Strong experience designing developer tools, enterprise software or complex B2B web applications
- Strong experience following a user-centered or human-centered design approach, in conjunction with design thinking
- Experience independently planning and running UX research, including discovery, usability testing, etc
- Demonstrated experience working iteratively in close collaboration with the engineering and product teams
- Comfortable writing basic HTML/CSS and/or Javascript
- Knowledge of Git is extremely beneficial
What the job involves
- You'll be working with the team to build Switchboard, a customer portal being developed alongside the GitLab Dedicated single-tenant SaaS offering. The UI has been partially developed, you will need to evaluate the current user experience and formulate an iterative plan to redesign it to better meet users needs, using our components and patterns, in collaboration with the Engineering team
- It's a highly technical area within GitLab, involving complex backend processes and orchestration mechanisms. A lot of the technical conversation happens before a clear requirement gets structured. As a designer in this space, you will need to understand engineering processes, translate complex concepts into intuitive designs, and communicate design decisions clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders
- We support the business of 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 the best experience for the user
- You'll define the product goals, roadmap, and strategy, all to solve user problems
- You’ll work alongside UX Researchers, Product Managers, and Engineers to iterate on new features within the GitLab product
- You’ll communicate your design thinking and ideas through wireframes, prototypes, user flows, mockups, and high-fidelity visual designs
- You’ll engage with our user base and the wider GitLab community to understand their pain points and work toward long-term fixes that enable them to succeed with their goals
- You’ll undertake usability testing to validate your thinking. (We’ve got an excellent team of UX Researchers who can offer guidance, as needed.)
- You’ll contribute to our Design System, alongside the rest of the UX team and the GitLab community as a whole
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.
