  • 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 hi-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.

  • You’ve got at least a few years of experience designing developer tools, enterprise software, or complex web applications.
  • Strong experience following a user-centered or human-centered design approach, in conjunction with design thinking.
  • You enjoy getting involved in research and usability testing, and you continually look to improve your user research abilities.
  • You’ve got a portfolio of work that shows us your product design skills across user research, UX strategy, wireframing, prototyping, product strategy, and visual design.
  • The idea of playing a key part in the evolution of our Pajamas Design System is truly exciting to you.
  • Ideally you’re comfortable with Frontend code. You can demonstrate this through your hands-on coding skills with HTML/CSS/JS, or by showing us you have a deep understanding of the needs of engineers you’ve worked with previously.
  • Our values of collaboration, results, efficiency, diversity, iteration, and transparency resonate with you.
