I would inspect resource usage and process behavior with appropriate Linux tools, reproduce the behavior where possible, and document evidence, hypotheses, and mitigations before escalating or preparing a defect report. How do you communicate a complex technical issue to a customer with limited technical knowledge? I explain the customer impact and next actions in plain language first, avoiding unnecessary jargon. I then provide concise technical detail appropriate to their level, clearly distinguish confirmed facts from ongoing investigation, and set expectations for updates and ownership. Describe how you would turn a support case into a high-quality bug report for Engineering. I would include a clear summary, customer impact, environment and version details, exact reproduction steps, expected and actual results, relevant sanitized logs, and troubleshooting already completed. I would validate reproducibility whenever possible and identify urgency, workarounds, and any suspected component without presenting assumptions as facts. What is your approach to supporting customers during an on-call incident? I would acknowledge the incident quickly, assess severity and affected services, and coordinate with the appropriate responders. I would provide timely, factual updates, prioritize mitigation and service restoration, preserve an incident timeline, and follow up with documentation or root-cause work after stabilization. How have Git and scripting improved your support workflow? Git helps me review changes, inspect history, reproduce behavior against versions, and contribute fixes or documentation through merge requests. With Bash or Ruby scripts, I automate repetitive diagnostics, parse logs, validate configurations, and make investigations more consistent and efficient. Opportunity details ## About this role.

Working 8-hour shifts with 4 weekdays and 1 weekend day. Support Engineering at GitLab isn’t just a title – you will be embedded within the Engineering department and will truly operate in an environment where Support and Engineering meet. You’ll interact with customers daily as they encounter the difficult edge cases of running GitLab in complex environments. In the space of a day, you might be doing behind the scenes work of a Linux administrator troubleshooting performance problems by using strace on a particular process, interacting with the Product team to ensure that steps in a bug report are reproducible, or interacting with the Engineering team itself by diving deep into our codebase and putting together a merge request to actually fix a customer issue. That’s not all though – you’d equally be invited to contribute to the source code, improve our documentation, and help build out more efficient support processes in our issue tracker. We want to live in a world where everyone can contribute, and as a member of the support team, there are no barriers to using your skills to improve the experience of our users and customers.
