- Experience building and maintaining REST and GraphQL APIs that integrate with complex products or platforms
- Familiarity with Git-based workflows and continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD), ideally using GitLab

- Experience working in collaborative, cross-functional teams with product management and design
- Ability to work autonomously in an all-remote, asynchronous environment while staying aligned with team goals

What the job involves
- As an Intermediate Backend Engineer on our next-generation Security Platform Management team, you will help build GitLab’s enterprise security solutions from the ground up. You’ll design and develop greenfield backend services that close competitive gaps and position GitLab as a single platform for enterprise security, directly shaping how thousands of organizations understand and manage their security posture at scale
- Working closely with a distributed team of 8 engineers, a Product Manager, and a UX designer across the US, Israel, and India, you’ll own critical backend systems and APIs that power capabilities like a new Security Manager role system, asset inventory with posture sharing, logical asset gathering with statistics, and unified configuration for GitLab’s security tools
- Some examples of our projects:
- Building a new Security Manager role system to centralize and streamline security administration
- Creating assets inventory and posture sharing capabilities, including logical asset gathering and unified configuration for all GitLab security tools
- Design and develop next-generation Security Platform Management capabilities that strengthen GitLab’s enterprise security offering
- Build and optimize scalable backend services and data models in Ruby on Rails with PostgreSQL for large volumes of security data
- Develop and maintain robust REST and GraphQL APIs that power security workflows across the GitLab platform
- Collaborate with Infrastructure, Policies, and Security Insights teams to deliver cross-functional security features end to end
- Implement and refine unified configuration mechanisms for GitLab’s suite of security tools to simplify management at scale
- Work within focused, feature-specific squads to deliver high-impact, well-tested functionality with minimal context switching
- Contribute to technical design decisions, code reviews, and standards that shape the architecture of GitLab’s security platform
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.
