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 the GitLab Duo Agent Platform from design through rollout.
  • Improve reliability, scalability, and maintainability for analytical graph workloads, including traversals, aggregations, and multi-tenant isolation.
  • Define and improve operational practices such as SLOs, observability, runbooks, incident response, capacity planning, and production readiness.
  • Collaborate asynchronously with product, data, infrastructure, security, and AI teams to sequence work and unblock dependencies.
  • Apply AI-assisted development workflows responsibly and help establish team norms for AI usage.
  • Mentor other engineers through pairing, technical reviews, and knowledge sharing.
  • Contribute occasional Ruby or frontend work when needed to close delivery gaps and support integration paths.

  • 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, multi-hop traversals, and aggregations, or a strong interest in learning them.
  • Practical experience using AI tools in day-to-day development and validating their outputs.
  • Language-agnostic mindset with the ability to learn new languages and frameworks such as Ruby, Go, or TypeScript/Vue.
  • Excellent written communication and comfort collaborating asynchronously across teams and time zones in an all-remote environment.
  • Interest in mentoring, code review, and sharing context as the team scales.
