GitLab Inc. is a US software company that sells a DevSecOps platform covering planning, source control, security scanning, compliance checks and deployment in one application. The product started in 2011 as a Ruby on Rails side project and grew into a commercial company that listed on Nasdaq under the ticker GTLB on October 14, 2021. GitLab says more than 50 million registered users and about half of the Fortune 100 rely on the platform.
The company is all remote. It doesn't run traditional offices, and it hires team members across more than 65 countries, with a registered address in San Francisco. Bill Staples became CEO in December 2024 after co-founder Sid Sijbrandij stepped back to the role of Executive Chair. Jessica Ross joined as Chief Financial Officer effective January 15, 2026, and Thomas Lloyd was named Chief Business and Legal Officer in July 2026.
Fiscal 2026, which ended January 31, 2026, brought revenue of $955.2 million, up 26%, with annual recurring revenue crossing $1 billion and adjusted free cash flow of $219.6 million. The board authorised a $400 million share repurchase programme in March 2026. In June 2026 GitLab cut about 14% of staff, roughly 350 people, and said it would exit 22 countries while reorganising research and development around agentic AI, taking a restructuring charge of $30 million to $35 million.

Practice real questions, get instant feedback and walk in ready.
Q: Why do you want to work at GitLab?
A: Tie two or three specifics about GitLab, the single application model, the public handbook, the all remote setup, to what you want next in your career. Keep it concrete rather than complimentary.
Q: Tell me how you manage yourself when working across different time zones.
A: Describe your actual habits: writing decisions down so nobody waits on a call, protecting a small overlap window, and setting clear handoffs at the end of your day.
Q: What do you think makes a great remote team?
A: Point to written communication, clear ownership, documented decisions and low dependence on live meetings. Back each point with something you've seen work.
Q: What does transparency mean to you in a workplace?
A: Frame it as defaulting to open: sharing context, reasoning and mistakes early so people can act without asking. Note the limits, like personal or customer data.
