• Contribute to TA process iteration, with a focus on continuous improvement. 
• Employ deep recruiting pipeline knowledge or experience to identify industry best practices and evaluate competitors. 
• Promote GitLab values and culture in day-to-day work and in external-facing settings.

• Outstanding written and verbal communication skills. 
• Willingness to learn and use software tools including Git and GitLab. 
• Remote working experience in a public technology company setting is an added advantage.
