Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and ship well-scoped features within the systems that ingest, store, index, and query security report data, improving data-ingestion reliability and query performance as measured by defined reliability and query-performance metrics.
- Work on the PostgreSQL data layer that supports vulnerability and dependency management, developing your database skills alongside engineers with deep expertise.
- Build and improve systems using Ruby on Rails and PostgreSQL, and contribute to newer services using technologies such as Go or Rust as the team expands beyond the monolith.
- Contribute to integrations with key third-party security systems.
- Participate in technical design discussions and code reviews, asking questions early and raising constraints as you find them.
- Collaborate with product and engineering partners on the details of your deliverables.
- Deliver iteratively within GitLab's monthly release cycle and communicate progress clearly.
- Apply a security mindset when designing systems, including considering how GitLab identifies and handles malicious or vulnerable software packages.
Requirements
- Professional backend engineering experience shipping features to production as part of a collaborative team.
- Working knowledge of PostgreSQL, including indexes, query plans, and schema design, and an interest in developing this into a specialization.
- Professional experience with Ruby on Rails, Go, or Python, plus comfort working in Ruby on Rails day to day and an interest in working across languages and services.
- Experience taking a feature from description through production and asking clear questions early when requirements are ambiguous.
- Clear written communication and comfort working remotely and asynchronously across time zones.
- An interest in the security domain. Experience with vulnerability management, dependency management, or security tooling is helpful, and we welcome transferable experience from outside the security domain.
- Fluency in using artificial intelligence tools to improve delivery and accelerate your learning while applying sound engineering judgment.
