You’ll be working with the team to build Switchboard, a new customer portal being developed alongside the GitLab Dedicated single-tenant SaaS offering. Switchboard will be used both by Dedicated customers as well as internal GitLab teams (SREs). There is a lot of room for impact here as we’re building a completely new UI that will enable users to be self-sufficient and minimise the assistance needed from GitLab to onboard and manage their instances.
What you’ll do:
- You’ll define the product goals, roadmap, and strategy, all to solve user problems.
- You’ll work alongside UX Researchers, Product Managers, and Engineers to iterate on new features within the GitLab product.
- You’ll communicate your design thinking and ideas through wireframes, prototypes, user flows, mockups, and high-fidelity visual designs.
- You’ll engage with our user base and the wider GitLab community to understand their pain points and work toward long-term fixes that enable them to succeed with their goals.
- You’ll undertake usability testing to validate your thinking. (We’ve got an excellent team of UX Researchers who can offer guidance, as needed.)
- You’ll contribute to our Design System, alongside the rest of the UX team and the GitLab community as a whole.
What you’ll bring:
- Strong experience designing developer tools, enterprise software or complex web applications.
- Strong experience following a user-centered or human-centered design approach, in conjunction with design thinking.
- Enjoy getting involved in research and usability testing, and know when to engage with UXR.
- You already practice design iteration and have experience building strong connections with key customers.
- Experience being involved in a product going from 0-1, balancing short term with long term design work.
