GitLab

GitLab is a DevSecOps software company founded in 2011. Its product is a single intelligent orchestration platform that unifies planning, coding, security and deployment across the software development lifecycle, in place of fragmented toolchains. The platform is used by more than 50 million people and by more than half of the Fortune 100, with customers including Siemens, NVIDIA and Lockheed Martin. Technical work spans DevSecOps, AI agents, application security, CI/CD and deployment, source code management, and planning and project management.

The company employs more than 2,500 team members and operates on an all-remote basis across more than 65 countries. This structure is long-established rather than recent: GitLab has built its processes around distributed teams since its founding. The company maintains a high release cadence, having shipped over 170 consecutive monthly releases.

GitLab began as an open source project and retains an open core model, with more than 5,000 open core contributors. Its stated mission is to enable everyone to contribute to and co-create software. Roles tend to be remote and spread across time zones, suited to candidates comfortable with written, asynchronous collaboration.
