You may be conducting persona research to enhance our knowledge of System Administrators, Product Managers, and Executives; conducting complex solution validation studies around our Work Items effort as we aim to provide a unified experience as we restructure the architecture of planning items within GitLab, or leading studies that aim to better how settings are managed within GitLab.

• Form a working understanding of the technology and features of the stage groups to which you are assigned, and have working knowledge of the end-to-end GitLab product.
• Evangelize research. Share user insights with the broader organization and externally in creative ways to increase empathy.
• Lead strategic user research initiatives that span multiple stage groups (and possibly the entire product!).
• Mentor UX Researchers, both inside and outside of your stage groups.
• Actively contribute to UX Research processes, documentation, and repositories.
• Engage in social media efforts, including writing blog articles and responding on Twitter, as appropriate.
• Interview potential UX candidates.

You should apply if you bring:

• Significant professional experience with both qualitative and quantitative user research.
• Experience integrating user research into digital product designs.
• Effective planning and organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple competing priorities.

Some of the benefits you'll be entitled to vary by the region or country you're in. However, all GitLab team members are fully remote and receive a "no ask, must tell" paid-time-off policy, where we don't count the number of days you take off annually.

You can work incredibly flexible hours, enabled by our asynchronous approach to communication. We'll also help you set up your home office environment, pay for your membership to a co-working space, and, every year or so, we'll invite you to our Contribute event.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
