When everyone can contribute, consumers become contributors, significantly accelerating human progress.

Thanks to products like Duo Enterprise and Duo Agent Platform, customers get AI benefits at every stage of the SDLC.

Overview of this role

The Platform Insights Team vision will deliver a unified data event platform that allows users to query, visualize, and analyze their data in order to optimize their workflows within GitLab. We aim to create a consistent dashboard experience that makes it easy for users to ask the questions pertinent to their use cases and build rich team / use case specific views. The unified event platform will consume data from all stages so that users can monitor the health of their team, their processes, and their services all in a single pane of glass.

We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer with a strong background in high-scale and data-rich Ruby on Rails applications, as well as familiarity with distributed, scalable and reliable systems.

What You'll Do

  • Lead the development of Ruby on Rails Backend components leveraging high-scale data pipelines
  • Collaborate with Product Management and other stakeholders within Engineering (e.g. UX) to maintain a high bar for quality in a fast-paced, iterative environment
  • Craft code that meets standards for style, maintainability, and best practices for a high-scale web environment. Maintain and advocate for these standards through code review.
  • Working with other GitLab teams to help them integrate monitoring and insights features into their product areas
  • Develop features and improvements to the GitLab product in a secure, well-tested, and performant way.
  • Ship features and improvements independently with minimal guidance and support from other team members. Lead and mentor team members on larger projects.
  • Advocate for improvements to product quality, security, and performance across the organization.
  • Solve technical problems of high scope and complexity and provide technical leadership.
  • Mentor junior and mid-level engineers on the team.

What You'll Bring

  • Significant professional experience with Ruby on Rails and PostgreSQL.
  • Strong database experience and demonstrated expertise in ClickHouse databases or similar analytical databases
  • Proven experience working with a platform or complex applications at large scale.
  • Expert-level familiarity building and deploying software with CI / CD or other internal tooling.
  • Deep understanding of distributed, scalable and reliable systems.
  • Advanced user of modern DevOps platforms. (GitLab is a bonus.)
  • Excellent proficiency in the English language, both written and verbal, sufficient for success in a remote and largely asynchronous work environment.
  • Advanced experience monitoring system health with tools like Prometheus or Grafana.
  • Proven track record analyzing metrics, developing automation scripts, scaling systems.
  • Experience with Golang or demonstrated ability to quickly learn new languages
  • Solid GCP and / or AWS experience
  • Hands‑on experience managing cloud infrastructure and ensuring efficient deployments.
  • Production experience operating a managed Kubernetes cluster (ex. GKE or EKS)
  • Leadership experience mentoring other engineers and driving technical decisions
  • Country Hiring Guidelines

    GitLab hires new team members in countries around the world. All of our roles are remote, however some roles may carry specific location-based eligibility requirements. Our Talent Acquisition team can help answer any questions about location after starting the recruiting process.
