An overview of this role As an Intermediate Backend Engineer on our Verify: CI Functions Platform team within the Verify: Runner organization, you'll help re-architect GitLab Runner so it can handle very large scale CI/CD operations. You'll also help build the foundational platform for CI Functions (formerly CI/CD Steps). You'll collaborate on technical initiatives and contribute to design and implementation, taking on work that matches your experience while growing your impact over time. You'll learn from how customers use our CI/CD capabilities and use that insight to help the team solve real-world scaling and usability challenges. This input can come from bug reports, feature requests, or feedback on CI Functions syntax and behavior. CI Functions users are often some of GitLab's most demanding CI/CD customers, and many will rely on the platform you help build as a critical part of their software delivery workflows. What you'll do • Design and develop features and improvements for the CI Functions Platform and GitLab Runner that are secure, well-tested, and high-performance, with a focus on strong architecture in Go services, appropriate for an intermediate-level engineer., • Partner with the Product Manager and senior engineers to assess the technical feasibility and scope of CI Functions and Runner-related feature requests, contributing your perspective and asking clarifying questions., • Implement proof-of-concept solutions and contribute to technical proposals that inform design and architecture discussions for the Step Runner and related components., • Help break down complex, large-scale CI/CD platform initiatives into iterative, maintainable, and testable increments, and deliver those increments reliably., • Take end-to-end ownership of your features from design through implementation, code review, deployment, monitoring, and iterative refinement within the CI Functions Platform., • Participate in architectural design reviews and help evolve the technical strategy for scaling CI Functions execution across diverse infrastructure (cloud, Kubernetes, and on-premises)., • Collaborate closely with other engineers on the team through code reviews, pairing, and knowledge sharing, both learning from others and helping raise the overall technical bar., • Proficiency in developing backend services in Go and applying Go best practices in production, whether gained through professional work, open-source contributions, or other hands-on experience., • Ability to design and build scalable, distributed systems and services that can grow with increasing demand, with an emphasis on CI/CD and workflow orchestration scenarios., • Skill in building and iterating on highly available, resilient systems, ideally with exposure to high-throughput CI pipelines, job orchestration, or similar infrastructure., • Hands-on skills with containerization and orchestration technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes, including deploying and operating services that run CI workloads across diverse environments., • Ability to analyze, profile, and optimize performance in distributed systems using appropriate tools and observability data, especially for latency-sensitive and resource-intensive CI execution paths., • Familiarity with cloud-native infrastructure (for example, a major cloud provider or infrastructure-as-code tools) and concepts related to site reliability and operating SaaS platforms that run large-scale CI., • Benefits to support your health, finances, and well-being, • Flexible Paid Time Off, • Team Member Resource Groups, • Equity Compensation & Employee Stock Purchase Plan, • Growth and Development Fund, • Parental leave
