Own complex initiatives from design through rollout and operational support, collaborate across engineering and customer-facing teams, mentor colleagues, participate in incident response and on-call rotations, and improve automation, testing, documentation, and engineering practices.

Design, implement, and evolve complex backend capabilities for GitLab’s global DevSecOps platform. The role drives technical direction, architectural decisions, system quality, security, availability, performance, and operational readiness. Responsibilities include mentoring engineers, conducting code and design reviews, diagnosing reliability issues, participating in incident response, and integrating agentic AI into production workflows. The engineer collaborates asynchronously across product, frontend, infrastructure, data, and security teams while influencing product and technical strategy.

Lead backend development for GitLab’s intent-to-code workflows, building APIs, data models, agentic workflows, and evaluation systems. Own features from product discovery through launch, collaborate with users and cross-functional teams, mentor engineers, and influence technical direction. The role uses Ruby on Rails, Python, PostgreSQL, GraphQL, REST, and AI platforms in a distributed, asynchronous environment.

Design, build, and evolve GitLab Duo CLI features using TypeScript, including interactive terminal experiences, command design, output formatting, reliability, observability, performance, and backward compatibility. Own technical problems end to end, make architectural decisions, collaborate across product and engineering teams, conduct thoughtful code reviews, mentor engineers, and contribute to JetBrains and VS Code integrations when appropriate.

The Staff Forward Deployed Engineer at GitLab works with strategic accounts to adopt GitLab and GitLab Duo Agent Platform, guiding technical discovery and building reusable solutions for complex enterprise environments.

Lead cross-functional Developer Experience initiatives across six teams, contributing hands-on backend code in Ruby and Go. Improve testing reliability, test coverage, CI/CD pipelines, logging standards, and development environments. Partner with engineering, platform, product, and infrastructure teams to identify friction, remove systemic bottlenecks, shape the Developer Experience Platform strategy, and foster continuous engineering improvement.

Develop backend features for GitLab’s vulnerability and dependency management systems. Design and improve data ingestion, storage, indexing, and querying using PostgreSQL and Ruby on Rails, while contributing to Go or Rust services and third-party security integrations. Participate in technical design, code reviews, product collaboration, and monthly releases. Work remotely and asynchronously while applying security-focused engineering practices and AI tools to improve delivery.

Design and develop scalable backend systems for vulnerability and dependency management, including security report ingestion, storage, indexing, querying, and third-party integrations. Build with Ruby on Rails and PostgreSQL while contributing to Go or Rust services. Own deliverables from technical design through delivery, optimize database performance, collaborate cross-functionally, support peers, and help transition GitLab Security toward modular services.

Leads complex backend initiatives for GitLab Security’s vulnerability and dependency management systems. Designs data ingestion, storage, indexing, querying, integrations, and modular services using Ruby on Rails and PostgreSQL, with potential Go or Rust development.
