About the team

The Import group plays a critical role in GitLab's FY26 strategy. Our primary focus is providing essential capabilities that enable seamless, reliable, and user-friendly customer migrations, both from third-party platforms to GitLab and between GitLab instances. The group is part of the DevOps Engineering team, and partners with other GitLab teams to optimize the customer migration journey.

A typical customer looking to adopt GitLab uses many different DevOps platforms and services. Artifacts such as source code, issues, ci pipelines, and files already exist, and are updated daily. Migrating an organization from these services to GitLab is therefore substantially complex and presents both technical and UX challenges.

Customer migration is crucial for GitLab's ability to expand in the market. It also provides an initial first impression of GitLab. It is essential it be a first-class experience, instilling confidence in customers that their data will be migrated quickly and with maximum care. The Import group is focused on making imports reliable, performant at any scale, and a great experience for all customers.
