• Analyze experiment results and translate insights into actionable improvements
• Implement features that drive user activation and adoption
• Collaborate with Product and UX to refine and execute on growth initiatives
• Contribute to both frontend and backend development, with a heavier focus on backend work
• Participate in data analysis to inform product decisions
• Help maintain and improve our experimentation framework
• Collaborate closely with Engineering teams across GitLab to drive Growth initiatives and experiments

What You’ll Bring

• Professional experience with Ruby on Rails and modern JavaScript frameworks (Vue.js preferred)
