GitLab builds an end-to-end DevSecOps platform that allows software teams to plan, build, secure, and deploy code from a single application. The company’s workforce sits at about 1,860 people, reflecting net growth after 353 hires and 204 departures. Hiring momentum outpaced attrition, indicating sustained investment in product innovation and go-to-market coverage. This all-remote organisation continues to scale while maintaining a balanced mix of technical and customer-facing talent.
Engineering is GitLab’s largest organisation with 581 team members—roughly one-third of total headcount—highlighting the emphasis on building and maintaining the core platform. Sales and Support follows at 473 employees, underscoring the need to help customers adopt and expand their use of GitLab. Marketing and Product together account for 292 people, while back-office functions such as Finance & Administration (126) and Human Resources (82) provide operational support. Smaller groups in Business Management, IT, Legal, Operations, and an "Other" bucket round out the structure, showing a diversified yet product-centric workforce.
GitLab operates on an all-remote model, so employees are spread across many cities rather than clustered in a single headquarters. The largest identified hubs include San Francisco (109 employees), Seattle (42), London (39), New York (47), and Austin (41), with additional pockets in Portland, Toronto, Washington DC, Denver, and other locations. The "Other" category, covering 178 team members, illustrates the breadth of its globally distributed workforce. This dispersed footprint allows GitLab to tap into talent pools worldwide while maintaining regional coverage for sales and customer success.
