Company mission
To make it so that everyone can contribute. When everyone can contribute, users become contributors and we greatly increase the rate of innovation.
Role
Who you are
- Strong, hands-on experience with Ruby and Ruby on Rails in production systems
- Experience integrating LLMs into products (product integration, not ML model training)
- Experience building agentic systems: autonomous or semi-autonomous agents that take actions on a user's behalf
- A track record of designing and shipping features independently in a collaborative team
- Strong written communication and the ability to operate effectively in a distributed, async-first environment
- Please note that we welcome interest from candidates with varying levels of experience; many successful candidates do not meet every single requirement. Additionally, studies have shown that people from underrepresented groups are less likely to apply to a job unless they meet every single qualification. If you're excited about this role, please apply and allow our recruiters to assess your application
What the job involves
- The DAP Repository Flows team owns two areas within GitLab's Duo Agent Platform (DAP)
- The first is DAP onboarding, helping customers quickly set up a project so they can start using the Duo Agent Platform with minimal friction
- The second is repository and background flows: autonomous and scheduled agents that work on a customer's codebase on their behalf
- This work is central to how GitLab delivers AI-powered automation on repositories
- As a Senior Software Engineer, you will own features end to end, from design through delivery, building agentic experiences on top of the Duo Agent Platform
- Own the design and delivery of features end to end across DAP onboarding and repository/background flows
- Build autonomous and scheduled agents that operate on customer codebases, building on top of the Duo Agent Platform
- Improve the DAP onboarding experience so customers can get a project configured and productive quickly
- Collaborate with engineers across the DAP organization on shared interfaces and patterns
- Review designs and code, and contribute to the team's technical quality
- Contribute to a culture of autonomy, ownership, high context sharing, and async-first collaboration
- About the team:
- The DAP Repository Flows team is part of GitLab's broader Duo Agent Platform organization, within the AI/R&D group
- The team is small and distributed, with plans to grow. We value autonomy, ownership, and high context sharing, and we work async-first through GitLab issues and Slack
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 capitalise on the recent trend toward rapid digital transformation and remote working. This trend is expected 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.
