Staff Fullstack Engineer (Ruby/Vue.js), Monetization Engineering: Purchase

Details

GitLab is seeking a Staff Fullstack Engineer to join the Purchase team within its Monetization section. The team owns the end-to-end purchase experience for GitLab products, including new purchases, add-ons, upgrades, and self-service promotional discounts.

The role involves working across frontend and backend systems to build customer-facing purchasing interfaces, transaction-processing services, and integrations with billing and customer relationship management (CRM) systems. Because the work affects revenue and involves confidential or financial information, the role requires strong technical judgment, safe iterative delivery, and a high standard for reliability and correctness.

This is a technical leadership position reporting to the Engineering Manager, Purchase. The successful candidate will help define the technical direction for a unified purchase flow, mentor engineers, and collaborate with Product, Design, Billing, and Support.

Responsibilities

• Design and build fullstack features across the purchase journey.
• Lead technical design for new purchasing capabilities and the unified purchase experience.
• Partner with Product and Design to turn purchasing requirements into resilient, well-tested technical solutions.
• Ensure purchase flows integrate correctly and safely with downstream billing and CRM systems.
• Set and uphold engineering standards for code quality, testing, rollout safety, and monitoring.
• Mentor engineers and review merge requests with thoughtful, constructive feedback.
• Identify and reduce technical debt and architectural risk in the purchase experience.
• Participate in incident response for purchase-related issues.

Projects

• Unifying separate purchase flows into one consistent purchasing experience.
• Building and scaling GitLab Flex subscription flows for month-to-month reserved spend across seats, AI credits, Runners, and other GitLab capabilities.
• Evolving self-service promotional discounts for existing and prospective customers.
• Modernizing the purchase frontend to improve clarity, accessibility, and conversion.
• Strengthening integrations between purchase flows and downstream billing and CRM systems for accuracy and resilience.

Requirements

• Professional fullstack engineering experience across frontend and backend code.
• Experience with Ruby on Rails and Vue.js.
• Experience owning technical direction for a product area and driving thorough, iterative solutions.
• Experience building or maintaining transactional or checkout-style flows, ideally in billing, ecommerce, or subscriptions.
• A strong bias toward safe, incremental delivery given the revenue and customer impact of the work.
• Ability to communicate clearly and concisely about complex technical, architectural, and organizational problems.
• Proficiency in written and verbal English for success in a remote, largely asynchronous work environment.
• Alignment with GitLab’s values and commitment to working in accordance with them.
• Familiarity with third-party billing or CRM systems such as Zuora, Salesforce, or Stripe is a plus.

Work Environment

The team works asynchronously, with regular planning and retrospectives and a high bar for ownership across deployments, incident management, testing, and rollout safety. The broader organization includes Subscription Lifecycle, Billing Engine, Platform and Infrastructure, Observability, Monitoring and Integrations, and Compliance teams.

All GitLab roles are remote, although some roles may have location-based eligibility requirements.

Benefits

• Benefits supporting health, finances, and well-being.
• Flexible paid time off.
• Team Member Resource Groups.
• Equity Compensation and Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
• Growth and Development Fund.
• Parental Leave.
