  • Partner with leaders across product, engineering, finance, sales, marketing, and operations to evaluate trade-offs between growth, adoption, margin, and customer value.
  • Own pricing models, scenario planning, forecasts, and business cases that connect pricing decisions to measurable outcomes such as average selling price, average revenue per user, and monetization performance.
  • Lead pricing research and testing approaches, using methods such as customer interviews, conjoint analysis, Van Westendorp, and experiments to inform strategic recommendations.
  • Present pricing proposals and recommendations clearly to senior leadership, including executive-level stakeholders, with well-supported analysis and clear decision paths.

GitLab provides a unified DevOps platform that brings together the tools needed for software development, including code hosting, collaboration, CI/CD, issue tracking, and security, all in one application. It works by offering a single subscription-based platform where teams can plan, write, test, review, and deploy code through automated pipelines, reducing the need to manage separate tools. This differs from many competitors that require using a collection of separate products; GitLab consolidates these capabilities into one integrated solution, helping teams work more efficiently. The company’s goal is to help organizations speed up software delivery and improve collaboration by simplifying the DevOps process and continuously updating the platform with new features and improvements.

GitLab partners with Google Cloud to power AI agents with Vertex AI models

GitLab has expanded its collaboration with Google Cloud to integrate Vertex AI models into its GitLab Duo Agent Platform. Google Cloud customers can now use Vertex AI models within GitLab and count that usage towards existing cloud commitments. The integration allows AI agents in GitLab's platform to access Vertex AI's Model Garden, including Gemini models, whilst maintaining GitLab's governance controls. Agents can draw context from issues, code repositories and CI pipelines without leaving the platform, with all actions subject to existing access controls and audit logging. Self-hosted customers can use GitLab's Bring Your Own Model option to connect approved models. GitLab's AI Gateway runs on Google Cloud infrastructure including GKE and Cloud Run. The partnership aims to provide enterprises with AI agents that combine strong model performance with enterprise governance requirements.

GitLab files $207.7M ESOP shelf registration for 10.2M shares amid 54.6% yearly decline

GitLab has filed a $207.7 million shelf registration for 10.2 million Class A shares tied to an employee stock ownership plan, putting potential dilution in investors' focus. The filing comes as GitLab's shares have declined 54.61% over the past year, trading at $21.63. Recent momentum shows improvement, with one-day and seven-day returns of 3.99% and 4.70% respectively, contrasting sharply with a 90-day decline of 42.37%. One valuation narrative suggests GitLab is 85.6% undervalued, citing a fair value of $150 based on open-source technology adoption and its DevSecOps system security platform. However, this outlook faces challenges from the company's recent losses of $55.96 million and uncertainty around cybersecurity spending.

GitLab launches version 18.10 with affordable agentic AI access

GitLab has released version 18.10, making its agentic AI capabilities more accessible and affordable across the software development lifecycle. The update allows organisations on the free tier to access the GitLab Duo Agent platform through a monthly GitLab Credits commitment, enabling teams to scale development within budget constraints. GitLab Credits provides developers with visibility into AI agents and flows whilst connecting AI activity to software delivery work. On 9 March, Bernstein SocGen Group reiterated an Outperform rating with a $60 price target, citing strong adoption of GitLab Duo and durable strategic positioning. However, ARK Investment Management reduced its stake by 75% between Q3 and Q4 2025, from 3.44 million shares to 864,000 shares.

GitLab launches agentic AI programme and $400M buyback as revenue tops $1B

GitLab has launched an expanded Managed Service Provider Partner Programme focused on agentic AI deployment across the software development lifecycle, whilst introducing its first $400 million share repurchase programme. The company reported annual recurring revenue surpassing $1 billion. The MSP Partner Programme targets regulated and compliance-focused environments, allowing service providers to integrate AI into enterprise software development. The initiative positions GitLab against competitors like Microsoft GitHub and Atlassian in the DevSecOps space. The buyback, funded through cash, short-term investments and operating cash flow, follows fiscal 2027 guidance indicating slower revenue growth and lower earnings than expected. The programme reflects GitLab's strategy to strengthen its DevSecOps platform through AI-driven features whilst deploying capital through repurchases.

CrowdStrike posts first GAAP profit of $38.7M while GitLab plunges 9% on slowing growth guidance

CrowdStrike held steady in premarket trading, rising 0.65%, after reporting Q4 revenue of $1.305 billion, up 23% year-over-year, and its first GAAP net income of $38.7 million. The cybersecurity firm's annual recurring revenue reached $5.25 billion, up 24%, with net new ARR of $330.7 million in Q4, up 47%. Meanwhile, GitLab plunged 8.6% as its FY2027 revenue growth guidance of 15% disappointed investors, slowing significantly from FY2026's 25.81% growth rate. CrowdStrike's Falcon Flex platform showed strong momentum, with ending ARR of $1.69 billion, up over 120% year-over-year. The company's FY27 revenue guidance of $5.867 to $5.928 billion met market expectations. Both software stocks had been under pressure heading into earnings, with CrowdStrike down roughly 16.5% year-to-date before the results.
