Of course that strongly depends on the role someone is applying for, but as a remote company there are a few characteristics that help a lot:
- ability to work independently: depending on how you organise your time, you might be spending a lot of time working by yourself and having to make decisions without getting direct answers from other people.
- great communication/writing skills: you'll be writing a lot! Anything that isn't written down gets lost between timezones and the absence of an office. Great writing skills make that you can easily translate your thoughts into words.
We're hiring for a lot of roles and each role has an elaborate job description. Feel free to have a look and apply if you're interested in a particular role: https://about.gitlab.com/jobs/
