What you'll be doing

You will design, implement, and maintain the automation, internal tooling, and GitLab pipelines that our engineering teams rely on every day. This is a software engineering role focused on building reliable developer workflows and solving hard technical problems with code. A typical week might include designing a pipeline architecture for multi-region deployments, writing a Python service that orchestrates test environments, or debugging a build failure that traces back to a problem in the service.

You should be motivated to explore solutions, deliver high-quality software, work outside your comfort zone when needed, and enjoy learning new technologies. You'll contribute to architectural decisions alongside senior engineers and grow your skills and ownership over time.

Develop and maintain developer-facing tooling and integrations that improve productivity and release velocity

Design and implement GitLab pipelines, automation frameworks, and engineering workflows
