GitLab, founded in 2011, is an all-remote company with a team of over 2,500 employees spread across more than 65 countries. The company originated as an open-source project and has grown into a widely adopted platform used by more than 50 million users. Its customer base includes over half of the Fortune 100, with notable clients in defence (Lockheed Martin), semiconductors (NVIDIA), and industrial sectors (Siemens).
The company provides a single platform that unifies the entire DevSecOps lifecycle - planning, coding, security, and deployment - replacing fragmented toolchains. The GitLab Platform enables teams and their AI agents to ship secure software faster. Technical work spans DevSecOps, AI agents, software lifecycle orchestration, and security.
As an open-core project, GitLab benefits from contributions by more than 5,000 external contributors and maintains a cadence of over 170 consecutive monthly releases. The company's mission is to enable everyone to contribute to and co-create software, and it supports distributed teams building software at scale.
