Intermediate Fullstack Engineer (Ruby/Vue.js), Growth (JavaScript)

An overview of this role

As an Intermediate Fullstack Engineer (Ruby/Vue.js), Growth at GitLab, you'll help turn GitLab's self-serve funnel into a reliable source of new paying customers. You'll work on the in-product journey from a user's first visit through sign-up, trial, and first purchase, on both GitLab.com and self-managed GitLab. You'll collaborate closely with Product Managers, UX Designers, and Data Analysts, with a particular focus on backend development in Ruby on Rails and frontend work in Vue.js. This role gives you the opportunity to combine your fullstack engineering skills with product thinking and experimentation, shipping small changes quickly and measuring their impact on real customer outcomes.

Some examples of our projects:

• Making it easier for self-managed users to try and buy GitLab
• Building upgrade prompts where users run into paid features
• Improving the trial experience, including trials of GitLab Duo
• Improving the tooling the team uses to run and read out experiments

What you'll do

• Design, build, and iterate on A/B tests and experiments that increase first purchases on GitLab.com and self-managed GitLab.
• Build and improve registration, trial, onboarding, and in-product upgrade and purchase experiences to increase completion of these steps.
• Implement backend features and services in Ruby on Rails and frontend experiences using Vue.js.
• Analyze experiment results and product usage data with Data Analysts to decide which changes to keep, iterate on, or roll back based on first-purchase outcomes.
• Collaborate with Product Managers and UX Designers to define hypotheses and success metrics before shipping experiments, then compare results against those metrics.
• Maintain and improve our experimentation framework and tooling to increase experiment throughput and reduce the time from setup to results.
• Collaborate with other Engineering teams, including Fulfillment, to remove purchase barriers across GitLab’s codebase.
• Document decisions, review code, and share experiment results asynchronously so distributed teammates can track shipped changes and their measured outcomes.

What you'll bring

• Professional experience developing with Ruby on Rails and modern JavaScript, along with solid Git, feature development, and deployment workflows.
• Experience working with relational databases and a solid understanding of web performance optimization.
• A track record of shipping features to production and owning them after release.
• Ability to use product data to decide what to build, keep, or roll back.
• Ability to document decisions and share updates asynchronously with distributed Product Management, UX, and Data teammates.
• Ability to organize your work, seek and apply feedback, and collaborate inclusively with teammates from diverse backgrounds, in line with GitLab’s values.
• Preferred, not required: experience with Vue.js, PostgreSQL, A/B testing, feature flags, experimentation frameworks, or SaaS sign-up, trial, billing, or checkout flows. We'll help you learn our tooling.

About the team

We’re GitLab’s Growth team: one team with one roadmap, prioritizing work by how directly it helps people buy. We work fully remotely and asynchronously across multiple regions, guided by GitLab’s values of transparency and iteration. Our challenge is running more high-impact experiments, faster, while coordinating changes with teams like Fulfillment and Pricing across the parts of the product they own. For more on how we work, see the Growth and Product sections of the GitLab handbook.
