Role

Who you are

Solid Ruby on Rails Experience (2+ years of professional experience): Have built and maintained production Rails apps and are comfortable working across models, controllers, and background jobs in a mature codebase
Collaborative Problem Solving: Ability to work through ambiguity with cross-functional partners and turn requirements into pragmatic solutions
Security and Reliability Minded: Have an understanding of performance, edge cases, and common security considerations in software development
Strong SQL Skills: Are able to write efficient queries, understand database performance basics, and have experience with PostgreSQL or similar relational databases
Agile Practices Knowledge: Experienced working in iterative cycles, comfortable with changing priorities, and familiarity with tools that support Agile practices
API Development Experience: Have designed or extended REST and/or GraphQL APIs and understand how to maintain backward compatibility
Ownership Mentality: Take responsibility for your work and follow through–whether that’s shipping a feature, fixing a bug, or improving a test
Remote-First Communication: Are proactive, clear in writing, and comfortable working asynchronously with a distributed team

What the job involves

Develop and Improve: Contribute to our project management tools using Ruby on Rails, working on issues that directly help users plan and track their work
Streamline Workflows: Help automate repetitive tasks and optimize existing workflows to make planning in GitLab faster and easier to use
Collaborate with a Global Team: Work closely with backend, frontend, product, and UX teammates across time zones in an async-first environment
Write Maintainable Code: Ship clean, well-tested code and participate in code reviews that help you and your team grow
Improve Reliability: Help maintain and improve the security and stability of our systems by contributing to bug fixes, test coverage, and platform health
Participate in Support Rotation: Join the team’s on-call rotation during weekday (during your working hours), and occasionally during nights and weekends, to help triage and resolve production issues–supporting customers and learning along the way

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.
