In your engineering requirements you have a hard requirement for ruby and rails experience. As a senior engineer with 15+ years experience dealing with full stack from front end to writing Linux kernel drivers, but having not used ruby or rails, what level of expertise would be required to be considered at Gitlab? I use Gitlab professionally and have self hosted it for years now for my personal projects, love your company structure and culture. Professionally it’s quite difficult to acquire ruby experience from a place not already using ruby anywhere.
Hey There! I lead the Engineering Recruiting Team at GitLab. In addition to emilycook's reply, which I think summed up your question, I would say that we require aptitude in certain programming languages, which we measure with coding challenges, not years of experience. Many of us here are self-taught programmers (including the VPE of Engineering). You are welcome to apply and take the code challenge, or also start contributing to the open source project.
