О компании и продукте

• As a Backend Engineer on the Geo team, you'll design, build, and maintain the backend services that power GitLab Geo, Disaster Recovery, and Backup and Restore. Working primarily in Ruby on Rails and PostgreSQL, you'll improve replication, verification, failover, and data migration for large self-managed and GitLab Dedicated environments. You'll collaborate with Database Engineering, Infrastructure, GitLab Dedicated, and other teams to help distributed customers access repositories faster and recover reliably, while maintaining a high bar for observability, careful rollout, and operational resilience.
• The Geo group is part of GitLab's Platforms Engineering organization and works closely with GitLab Dedicated, Database Engineering, Infrastructure, and Tenant Scale teams. Our work includes cross-team initiatives such as GitLab Dedicated migrations and the Cells architecture. We work asynchronously, with regular planning and retrospectives and a high bar for operational ownership, incident management, testing, and rollout safety.
