An overview of this role

You'll be working with the team to build Switchboard, a new customer portal being developed alongside the GitLab Dedicated single-tenant SaaS offering. Switchboard will be used both by Dedicated customers as well as internal GitLab teams (SREs). There is a lot of room for impact here as we're building a completely new UI that will enable users to be self-sufficient and minimise the assistance needed from GitLab to onboard and manage their instances.
