An overview of this role
As a Customer Success Engineer, you'll help customers get real, measurable value from GitLab after the sale by providing technical product expertise and best practice guidance. You'll be part of the customer success engineer team that delivers GitLab's On-Demand Success Tier through webinars, hands‑on labs, office hours, and on‑demand engagements.
This is a pooled model, so you won't be dedicated to a specific set of accounts. You'll collaborate closely with Customer Success Managers, Account Executives, and Renewals Managers to support implementation, architecture, and use case adoption across GitLab's key workflows, including source code management, continuous integration and delivery, DevSecOps, and Agile Planning. You'll report to the Customer Success Engineer Team Manager, and your first‑year outcomes will focus on building trusted advisor relationships, enabling successful customer implementations, and creating reusable workshops and technical content that helps customers adopt GitLab at scale.
What you'll do
Engage with customers via Zoom calls and email as a technical consultant during the post‑sales journey, providing product, solution, and best‑practice guidance.
Partner with Customer Success Managers to go deep on GitLab use case implementation (for example: source code management, continuous integration, continuous delivery, DevSecOps, and Agile Planning).
Deliver practical, customer‑specific enablement through webinars, hands‑on labs, office hours, and on‑demand engagements in a pooled support model (not dedicated to a single account).
Provide technical and architectural guidance that helps customers adopt GitLab capabilities and connect technical decisions to the outcomes they care about.
Align with Account Executives and Renewals Managers to share customer‑facing subject matter expertise that supports customer business objectives.
Develop and deliver workshops, demos, and other reusable enablement content in collaboration with cross‑functional partners.
Build and maintain specialty competency in one or more technologies aligned to GitLab's market focus through training, certification, and creating working examples for internal and customer use.
Contribute to customer‑facing learning resources, including GitLab documentation, YouTube content, and enablement programs such as the Digital Journey.
What you'll bring
Experience supporting one or more GitLab use cases (source code management, continuous integration, continuous delivery, DevSecOps, or Agile Planning) and enabling customers with practical, in‑depth guidance.
Proficiency with DevSecOps tools or adjacent highly technical tooling, with the ability to translate tool capabilities into customer outcomes.
Technical background in software development or systems engineering, including comfort discussing architecture, workflows, and implementation tradeoffs.
Ability to communicate complex technical and organizational topics clearly in writing and live settings (Zoom calls, workshops, and presentations).
Experience operating as a trusted technical advisor to customer and business stakeholders in a post‑sales environment.
Strong time management and prioritization skills, including the ability to juggle multiple customer engagements and cross‑functional requests in a pooled model.
Continuous learning mindset, including maintaining specialty competency through training, certification, documentation, or creation of reusable examples; we welcome transferable experience from related roles and backgrounds.
About the team
We're a globally distributed customer success engineer (CSE) team supporting customers in GitLab's On-Demand Success Tier.

We continuously improve our content and delivery based on what we learn from customer engagements.
Please note that we welcome interest from candidates with varying levels of experience; many successful candidates do not meet every single requirement. Additionally, studies have shown that people from underrepresented groups are less likely to apply to a job unless they meet every single qualification. If you're excited about this role, please apply and allow our recruiters to assess your application.
