About Gap Inc.

At Gap Inc., we create culture as much as we create clothes. Our ambition is to become a high‑performing house of iconic American brands that shape culture.

Our portfolio—Old Navy, Gap, Banana Republic, and Athleta—each brings a distinct point of view to how we show up in the world and serve our customers.

Old Navy democratizes style with quality and value for all. Gap champions originality through essential pieces that celebrate individuality. Banana Republic is rooted in a spirit of discovery, creating modern pieces inspired by craftsmanship and travel. Athleta champions the Power of She through confidence, strength, and movement.

We’re driven by a shared purpose: to bridge gaps—between people, perspectives, and possibilities—to create a better world.

We’re building a team that performs at a high level—people who think boldly, take ownership, and turn ideas into impact. If you’re ready to learn fast and help shape what’s next, you’ll fit right in.

The Build team makes it easier and faster to build high-quality applications at Gap by providing a comprehensive and opinionated set of development tools and CI/CD infrastructure.

Our objective is to maximize developer productivity by enabling streamlined workflows, robust source control management, intelligent automation, and the promotion of modern engineering best practices.
