What the job involves
- As a Backend Engineer at GitLab, you are pivotal in shaping how users manage and integrate their GitLab workspaces
- Your work will impact our open-source community and enterprise customers by enhancing our product, GitLab.com, and the enterprise editions
- You’ll collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and front-end engineers to build solutions that empower teams worldwide to seamlessly import data from competitor tools and manage access while adhering to strict compliance standards
- You'll join the Import & Integrate team under the Foundations stage, where you will tackle complex challenges like ensuring smooth data migration and helping users adopt GitLab’s DevOps processes effectively
- Your work here allows teams to accelerate their DevOps journey, manage value streams, and optimize workflows
- The roadmap includes refining integrations, improving user access control, and enhancing the end-to-end DevOps experience
- As part of a remote-first, global company, you will have a unique opportunity to collaborate with peers across different time zones and cultures while reporting directly to a stable and supportive team
- Your contributions will directly and visibly impact GitLab’s vast and growing user community
- Whether based in the AMER, EMEA, or APAC regions, this role offers the flexibility to drive change from wherever you are
- Develop features and improvements to the GitLab product in a secure, well-tested, and performant way
- Collaborate with Product Management and other stakeholders within Engineering (Frontend, UX, etc.) to maintain a high bar for quality in a fast-paced, iterative environment
- Advocate for improvements to product quality, security, and performance
- Solve technical problems of moderate scope and complexity
- Craft code that meets our internal standards for style, maintainability, and best practices for a high-scale web environment
- Conduct a code review within our code review guidelines and ensure that community contributions receive a swift response
- Recognize impediments to our efficiency as a team (“technical debt”), propose and implement solutions
- Represent GitLab and its values in public communication around specific projects and community contributions
- Confidently ship small features and improvements with minimal guidance and support from other team members. Collaborate with the team on larger projects
- Participate in Tier 2 or Tier 3 weekday and weekend and occasional night on-call rotations to assist troubleshooting product operations, security operations, and urgent engineering issues
- At GitLab, the Import & Integrate team plays a crucial role in making your transition to GitLab seamless, whether you're migrating from competitor tools or integrating existing workflows into GitLab’s ecosystem
- Our team is focused on building and improving features that allow users to quickly import data, manage access levels, and maintain compliance, all while ensuring the smooth adoption of GitLab’s DevOps processes
- What makes this team particularly interesting is the wide scope of challenges we tackle
- From enabling smooth data migrations to building reliable integrations that support our users' diverse needs, we are constantly improving the user experience
- Additionally, we empower teams to implement and track their DevOps value streams, ensuring that GitLab fits into their current workflows and enhances them
- This openness means you’re never in the dark about our progress, goals, or how you might contribute
- Our challenges are complex—ensuring data is transferred flawlessly, helping users stay compliant with security regulations, and improving value stream management are just a few of them
- But the reward is huge: empowering teams worldwide to adopt GitLab more quickly and efficiently
Our take
GitLab is an open-source collaboration platform for developers. It enables teams to build code quickly from anywhere without compromising on security or quality. GitLab already has an estimated 30M+ users from all over the world.
According to a 2021 GitLab report, 60% of developers can release code 2x faster with DevOps platforms that bring teams together and accelerate processes. It stands out by catering to programmers of all experiences. Gitlab's version control system helps streamline the process of creating, maintaining, and deploying code, whoever you are.
GitLab was in the right place to capitalize on the recent trend toward rapid digital transformation and remote working. This trend is expected to continue to grow, and with it, GitLab's popularity. With its successful 2021 IPO and the patronage of major brands such as Nasdaq and Jaguar Land Rover, GitLab is expected to solidify its position as the go-to platform for development teams.
