The Tenant Scale team is focused on a long-term scaling solution for GitLab. The charter of this group is to explore, iterate on, validate, and lead the implementation of proposals to provide a solution to accommodate Gitlab.com's daily-active user growth. We are accomplishing this through the introduction of a Cells architecture along with an Organization entity that will be the vehicle to associate a customer’s data with a specific Cell. Hopefully this is the type of work that gets you excited about joining the team, if so please read on!
Fullstack Engineers work across the backend and frontend parts of our product. This includes both the open-source version of GitLab, the enterprise editions, and the GitLab.com service. They work with peers on teams dedicated to areas of the product. The efforts led by the Tenant Scale team will have an impact across all of GitLab. You will be part of a group that is changing functionality used by all features in GitLab and consulting with development groups and sub-departments to implement changes required to support our Cells architecture.
