As a remote-first company, GitLab's engineering teams operate asynchronously, which means documentation and written communication are key. This structure allows for flexibility across different time zones, but requires proactive effort in sharing updates and seeking feedback from colleagues globally. You'll find a strong emphasis on transparency in all aspects of work.
