CI/CD Backend Developers are primarily tasked with improving the Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Deployment (CD) functionality in GitLab. GitLab CI/CD is widely used by a number of organizations over the world. CI/CD engineers are expected to be self-directed, communicative, and versatile; they should have experience with different developer technologies and frameworks. Engineers working in that position should be willing to learn Kubernetes and Container Technology.
Engineers at that position should always have three goals in mind:
1. Provide value to the user and communicate such with product managers,
2. Introduce features that work at scale and in untrusting environments,
3. Always focus on defining and shipping the Minimal Viable Change.
We, as a team, cover end-to-end integration of CI/CD in GitLab, with components being written in Rails and Go. We work on a scale of processing almost two millions of CI/CD jobs on GitLab.com monthly. CI/CD is interlaced with a number of teams across a GitLab. We build new features by following our direction. Currently, we focus on providing a deep integration of Kubernetes with GitLab:
1. by automating application testing and deployment through Auto DevOps,
2. by managing GitLab Runners on top of Kubernetes,
3. by working with other teams that provide facilities to monitor all running applications, in the future implement A-B testing, feature flags, etc.
Additionally, we also focus on improving the efficiency, performance, and scalability of all aspects of CI/CD:
1. Improve performance of developer workflows, e.g. faster CI testing, by improving parallelization,
2. Improve performance of implementation, ex.: by allowing us to run 10-100x more in one year,
3. Identify and add features needed by us, ex.: to allow us to test more reliable and ship faster.
Being part of the CI/CD team, you have a unique opportunity to use bleeding edge technologies, such as Kubernetes and Docker, and work on Ruby and Go projects. Not only will you work on features that deliver value for hundreds of thousands of organizations around the world, but you will also face massive scale issues with running a CI/CD system.

- Develop CI/CD features from proposal to polished end result, by being able to reason about the features with Product Managers, and be able to work freely in Rails or Go,
- Support and collaborate with our Support Engineers in getting to the bottom of user-reported issues and come up with robust solutions.
- Manage and review code contributed by the rest of the community and work with them to get it ready for production.
- Create and maintain documentation around features and configuration to save our users time.
- Take initiative in improving the software in small or large ways to address pain points in your own experience as a developer.
- Keep code easy to maintain and easy for others to contribute to.
CI/CD Backend Developers Requirements
- Have production-level Rails experience, or Go-experience when working on Kubernetes,
- You can reason about software, algorithms, and performance from a high level,
- You are passionate about open source,
- You are passionate about developer tool space and about the developer needs,
- You have a good understanding of different products and can reason about features being proposed,
- You have strong written communication skills,
- You are self-motivated and have strong organizational skills,
- You share our values, and work in accordance with those values.
- A technical interview is part of the hiring process for this position.
Engineering Experience Required - All Levels
- For this position, a significant amount of experience with Ruby is a strict requirement. Extra bonus points is Go experience. We do expect that you will like to work on Go during your journey at GitLab.
- If you are great Go developer with a lot of Kubernetes production experience and the strong drive towards improving a developers workflow please drop us the note.
- We would love to hire all great backend developers, regardless of the language they have most experience with, but at this point, we are looking for developers who can get up and running within the GitLab code base very quickly and without requiring much training, which limits us to developers with a large amount of existing experience with Ruby, and preferably Rails too.
- If you think you would be an asset to our engineering team regardless, please see if another position better fits your experiences and interests.
- If you would still prefer to join the backend development team as a Ruby or Go developer, please consider contributing to the open-source GitLab Community Edition or GitLab Runner. We frequently hire people from the community who have shown, through contributions, that they have the skills that we are looking for, even if they didn’t have much previous experience with those technologies, and we would gladly review those contributions.
