👋 A little about us

GitBook is a modern documentation platform. Our ambition is to empower teams through a new document standard suited for modern work and collaboration.GitBook is now used by over 2M users and thousands of teams such as DeliveryHero, Netflix, Decathlon, or Celonis. With close to 25,000 sign-ups per month and 10% revenue growth month-over-month, we're looking to expand our Data team to actively contribute to our success.

Who uses GitBook?

You will be joining Rémi, our Head of Data, to spread insights across the company. As a product-led company with high growth, we strongly believe that data should be involved in any decision process: from product to sales.

On the team philosophy, we want to get people interested in working on any part of the data journey: data engineering, data analytics and data science. It doesn't mean being an expert in all three fields but we believe that any data folks should aim to understand and cover most of the scope.

Data stack:

DBT, BigQuery, Tableau, Amplitude, Segment, Airflow, Cloud Functions, Zapier, Python, Stitch, GitHub

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.
