As a Staff Engineer in GitLab's Developer Experience organization, you'll help drive engineering excellence at GitLab by creating tools that measure, analyze, and optimize development workflows and lead initiatives that enhance developer productivity. Contribute to the overall direction of the Developer Experience stage and Engineering-wide developer productivity initiatives through cross-team collaboration and technical leadership. Teach, mentor and grow engineers across teams while providing technical guidance aligned with strategic objectives. Plan and execute improvements with a 12-month roadmap that supports stage-level OKRs. Solve complex, ambiguous technical problems across teams, innovating through experimentation and boldly tackling large-scale challenges. Partner with the Management team, and enable Staff Engineers to engage on stage-level aspects of larger initiatives. Propose technical implementations that support architectural changes that solve scaling and performance problems. Interact with customers and other external stakeholders as a consultant and spokesperson for the work of your stage.
