Growth Stage

The Growth Stage consists of development teams working in the product delivering enhancements and running experiments

Vision

Grow an agile fullstack development capability to support our product goals through feature development and experiments enabling GitLab to make informed product decisions and achieve results in line with our product direction.

For more details on Growth’s mission, direction, and product strategy, see the Growth product handbook.

How We Work

Working inline with our values, we focus on iteration and collaboration, working with and across areas of the product our development department counterparts maintain.

We work on the issues prioritized by our product teams including running experiments on GitLab.com. Growth stage teams have Fullstack Engineers. The reason for this is that the Growth stage has a need for both Frontend and Backend skill-sets, but as a small team, has optimized for team member efficiency to adopt the Fullstack role.
