The Talent Acquisition team at GitLab helps the company grow by finding people who can
contribute to our mission and thrive in our all-remote environment. Within that group, sourcing
plays a key role in reaching talent that may not be actively applying, especially in competitive
markets and business-critical functions. You'll work with teammates who care deeply about
candidate experience, thoughtful partnership, and inclusive hiring practices. The team values
clear communication, strong market insight, and steady iteration in how we work. This role is
especially important as GitLab continues to grow go-to-market teams in AMER, where strong
regional knowledge and effective collaboration across time zones can help teams hire with more
focus and confidence.
