Here is complete example of CPT supporting Gutenberg editor.

// Register Custom Post Type Career
function as_cpt_career() {

	$labels = array(
		'name'                  => _x( 'career', 'Post Type General Name', 'text_domain' ),
		'singular_name'         => _x( 'career', 'Post Type Singular Name', 'text_domain' ),
		'menu_name'             => __( 'career', 'text_domain' ),
		'name_admin_bar'        => __( 'career', 'text_domain' ),
	);
	$args = array(
		'label'                 => __( 'career', 'text_domain' ),
		'description'           => __( 'career', 'text_domain' ),
		'labels'                => $labels,
		'show_in_rest'			=> true,
