The opportunity
GitLab is the intelligent orchestration platform for DevSecOps. GitLab enables organizations to increase developer productivity, improve operational efficiency, reduce security and compliance risk, and accelerate digital transformation.
What you'll do
Own significant components of larger deliverables, from technical design: through delivery, and deliver iteratively within GitLab's monthly release cycle by showing progress and raising constraints early.
Design and develop backend systems for vulnerability and dependency: management, including security report ingestion, storage, indexing, querying, and integrations with key third-party systems.
Build and improve systems using Ruby on Rails and PostgreSQL, and contribute: to newer services using technologies such as Go or Rust where appropriate.
Develop deep PostgreSQL expertise by improving queries and schemas as the: data behind vulnerability management continues to grow.
Collaborate directly with product, design, frontend, and engineering partners on decisions within your scope.
Contribute to technical plans and design discussions, and support other: engineers through reviews, pairing, and clear documentation.
What they're looking for
- Apply a security mindset when designing systems, including how GitLab: identifies and handles malicious or vulnerable software packages.
- Contribute to GitLab's move toward modular services as the team establishes: these patterns for GitLab Security.
- Professional backend engineering experience delivering production features: and components at scale, with clear ownership of outcomes rather than tasks.
- Hands-on PostgreSQL experience, including query profiling and optimization,: indexing, and schema design decisions, with an interest in growing into a domain expert.
