О компании и продукте

• As a Staff Backend Engineer on GitLab's Events & Messaging Platform team, you'll be a foundational technical leader on a high-visibility infrastructure initiative that sits underneath nearly everything GitLab ships. GitLab runs two separate systems for async work today — Sidekiq for short-lived background jobs and a purpose-built event bus for longer-running workflows. This role consolidates both into a single durable, scalable messaging and event-processing platform that powers GitLab's first-party products and underpins third-party integrations like webhooks and external triggers.
• You'll bridge architecture and execution — owning the design of a genuinely multi-tenant distributed system, breaking it into work the team can deliver, and solving the hard problems along the way. You'll bring strong instincts around durability, tenant isolation, and horizontal scalability — telling a design that's durable from one that only looks durable under light load — and own reliability end to end. A defining challenge is migrating existing production workloads off the legacy systems without disrupting the traffic they carry.

Задачи

• Lead technical execution on the CD platform: decompose complex architectural designs into well-scoped, deliverable work and drive the team to ship with quality and confidence
• Solve high-complexity engineering problems and contribute architectural feedback that shapes how the system evolves
• Set and maintain the technical bar across the codebase through code review, mentorship, and example
• Mentor engineers at all levels, helping them grow their technical capabilities and navigate difficult problems
• Represent the CD team in cross-functional engineering discussions and contribute to written technical proposals and architectural documents
• Participate in on-call rotations to help ensure GitLab.com availability targets are met

Требования

• Deep professional experience building backend services in Go, with a track record in high-scale production environments
• Demonstrated expertise in distributed systems design, including durable workflow execution, state persistence, and event-driven architectures
• Extensive experience leading or contributing to release orchestration, deployment automation, or continuous delivery systems at scale
• Extensive hands-on experience with Docker and Kubernetes at production scale, including progressive delivery patterns such as blue/green and canary deployments
• Strong familiarity with GitOps workflows and tools in that ecosystem
• Experience with policy-based governance in software delivery systems
• Proven ability to translate complex architecture into clear, executable engineering work across a team
• Demonstrated ability to incorporate AI tools into daily engineering workflows to drive efficiency and quality
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with a bias toward async, documentation-first practices
• Self-motivated and self-managing, with strong organizational judgment and a constructive approach to ambiguity

Будет плюсом

• Experience with AI engineering or building AI-integrated product features
• Ruby on Rails experience
