As we take our company to the next level, we know that having the right data to drive product decisions is critical to reach our goals. As a product-led company with high ambitions, we strongly believe that data should be involved in any decision process: from product to sales. This means we have a need to polish our data infrastructure, automate as much as possible and have the right analytics in place to feedback to the teams the right insights at the right time.
We like to think of this role as a data generalist, it sits somewhere in the middle between data engineering and data analytics and will own the entire data stack. It all comes down to making data useful.

First, we will take the time to review your application and we will get back to you within a week, regardless of our decision.
We know that your time is valuable so we work to move the process along quickly and keep it casual. We're not believers in "gotcha" questions or checking for skills you'll never actually use at GitBook.
Here's what our process will look like:
- Meeting with Lilian from our People team (30 min) to deep dive on your experience and skills
- Meeting with our Head of Data (60 min) to discuss your experience and skills needed for the role
- Short case study to assess your skills
- Meeting with our CEO (45 min) to ensure there's alignment between you and the company
This process is not set in stone, we might add steps to the process as we go along, like a work sample. We will make sure to keep you posted!
We joke internally that GitBook is the best kept secret. It's not always clear from the outside looking in that we're a great company, with a positive environment and fantastic team. When asked how they describe our culture, this is what came up (in order of how frequently it was mentioned):
- Supportive, approachable and friendly peers. Everyone is willing to help
- Flexibility, truly remote company. We can choose when and where we work
- Transparent. Open communication, feedback is listened to and actioned
- Safe space. It's ok to fail, we can ask any questions and there's no judgement
- We care about people and treat them fairly
- Autonomy & trust by default
Of course we can always get better, and there are some things that you might find frustrating:
- We're still defining what success looks like for each person and team, and this creates confusion
- We're working on being more agile and iterating quicker
- We need to create more opportunities to socialize and connect as people
- We are (ironically) not great at documentation
The great news is that we're continuously optimizing our culture and you will see that every single team member is a value addition to our culture, and our company values are very present in our day to day:
- 🚀 Bias towards impactful action
- 🙋♀️ Care (Give a sh*t)
- 🤝 Transparency
- 🏗 Keep it simple
Come make your mark on building the future of work with us.
