GitLab provides an end-to-end DevSecOps platform that lets software teams plan, build, secure, and deploy code from a single application. The company employs about 1,880 people, with records showing 340 new hires compared with 171 departures, yielding net workforce growth. A strong technical core is complemented by sizeable go-to-market and operational teams, supporting both product innovation and customer adoption. Operating as an all-remote organisation, GitLab continues to scale without the constraints of a traditional headquarters.
Engineering is GitLab’s largest function at 587 employees, accounting for roughly one-third of total headcount and highlighting the focus on product development. Sales and Support follow at 482 people, underscoring the emphasis on customer acquisition and expansion. Marketing and Product together add 292 employees, while IT, Finance & Administration, and Human Resources contribute another 337 to maintain smooth operations. Smaller groups in Business Management, Legal, Operations, and an "Other" category round out the organisational structure, illustrating a balanced mix of technical and corporate talent.
GitLab operates entirely remotely, so staff are spread across numerous cities rather than concentrated in a single hub. More than 1,500 employees fall into an "Other" category that covers hundreds of locations worldwide, demonstrating the breadth of its distributed model. Notable clusters include San Francisco (109 employees), Seattle (43), New York (49), and Austin (41), with additional pockets in London, Washington DC, Toronto, Portland, and Denver. This dispersed footprint enables GitLab to tap into global talent pools while maintaining regional coverage for sales and customer success.
