Description

  • Lead the design and evolution of core Knowledge Graph services in a production Rust codebase.
  • Own cross-cutting initiatives across GitLab Rails, the Data Insights Platform, and GitLab Duo Agent Platform from design through rollout.
  • Improve reliability, scalability, and maintainability for analytical graph workloads, including multi-hop traversals, aggregations, and multi-tenant isolation.
  • Define and improve operational maturity through SLOs, observability, runbooks, incident response, capacity planning, and production readiness.
  • Collaborate asynchronously with product, data, infrastructure, security, and AI teams to sequence work and resolve dependencies.
  • Apply AI-assisted development workflows responsibly and help establish team norms for AI usage.
  • Mentor other engineers through pairing, technical design reviews, and knowledge sharing.

  • Strong system design skills with the ability to explain architectural decisions and trade-offs.
  • Strong fundamentals in preparing information for AI agents, including context curation and token usage management.
  • Comfort working autonomously in ambiguous environments and taking ownership of problems and solutions.
  • Experience with distributed data or analytics systems such as ClickHouse, columnar stores, Kafka- or NATS-style messaging, or CDC pipelines.
  • Familiarity with graph data modeling and query patterns such as property graphs, Cypher/GQL, n-hop traversals, and aggregations, or strong interest in building that expertise.
  • Practical experience using AI tools in day-to-day development and the ability to validate outputs and integrate them into a disciplined workflow.
  • A language-agnostic mindset with the ability to learn new languages and frameworks such as Ruby, Go, or TypeScript/Vue as needed.
  • Excellent written communication and comfort collaborating asynchronously across teams and time zones in an all-remote environment.
  • Interest in mentoring others through code review, pairing, and sharing context as the team scales.

Benefits
