Senior Backend Engineer, Trusted Agentic DevelopmentNew

The opportunity

The Trusted Agentic Development team is part of GitLab's Developer Experience group. We build platforms and practices that help GitLab engineers validate agent-generated software with confidence.

What you'll do

  • Own the technical thesis for how GitLab validates software when an agent is: the author, and turn it into an architecture the team can build against.

  • Prototype the hard parts by building early versions of feedback mechanisms: that catch the gap between passing tests and working software, proving what works before the team scales it.

  • Develop approaches for GitLab's primary stacks, starting with Rust, Ruby, and: Go, under one shared definition of "trusted," while allowing the right technique to differ by language.

  • Design the mid-loop feedback an agent needs to self-correct toward working: software rather than green assertions, and build the systems that deliver it.

  • Collaborate with engineering teams to adopt these approaches, measure: adoption, engineer trust, and validation quality, and use those findings to improve the platform.

  • Set technical direction the team can build on, review designs, and help: teammates grow their technical judgment.
