Overview
GitLab is the world's largest all-remote company, and the interview process reflects that — expect async communication skills to be evaluated alongside technical ability. Some roles include take-home assignments rather than live coding. The coding difficulty is moderate. GitLab's Ruby on Rails codebase means Ruby/Rails knowledge is valued, though not always required. System design focuses on CI/CD pipelines, code review, and DevOps workflows.
