An overview of this role

As a Demo Architect, you'll help GitLab teams and customers get hands-on with our platform faster and with less friction. This role reports to the Senior Director of our Solutions Architecture Center of Excellence, with day-to-day partnership from the current team lead. You'll build and improve the tools, applications, and infrastructure that support field team demos, workshops, trials, and internal test environments across the field.

What makes this role unique is its mix of software engineering, infrastructure, and customer-facing collaboration. You'll work like an engineer for much of the role, while also partnering with Solutions Architects, Account Executives, Customer Success, and others to make sure what we build is practical, usable, and aligned to how the field sells.

What you'll do

- Build and maintain tools, applications, and workflows that support demos, workshops, trials, and internal test environments.

- Expand the Demo Architect Portal to improve automation, self-service, and scalability for field teams and partners.

- Provision and support infrastructure that enables hands-on customer experiences across GitLab.com, demo instances, and internal environments.

- Collaborate with Solutions Architects, Account Executives, Customer Success, Marketing, Revenue Operations, UX, and Engineering to understand needs and deliver practical technical solutions.

- Learn and document go-to-market workflows (e.g., how teams run demos/workshops/trials) and automate the steps that waste time.

- Create technical workshop assets and enablement content that support pre-sales and technical selling for individual contributors.
