About the team

Product Designers are highly collaborative roles at GitLab - you're part of the Product Design org, you report into a Product Design Manager, but work to embed yourself into the feature team that you're working on. You will become an expert in this area, and eventually the broader GitLab product.

The Runner Fleet team builds visibility and management tools for the infrastructure that processes millions of CI/CD jobs monthly. We solve complex developer productivity challenges: how do you help platform administrators efficiently manage thousands of runners? How do you surface actionable insights from massive amounts of CI data? How do you reduce operational overhead for enterprise-scale build infrastructure?

We recently shipped the Fleet Visibility Dashboard, giving customers unprecedented insight into their CI pipeline performance. We're now planning for AI-powered predictive insights, advanced analytics capabilities, and cross-stage integrations that will define the future of CI/CD management.
