Job Description
An overview of this role
As a Backend Engineer joining our team, you will work on the foundational layer of GitLab Continuous Integration (CI). Our team is largely involved in scaling CI, along with ensuring our CI features remain performant and reliable by driving improvement to critical database infrastructure. As many of our efforts are Engineering led, you will also have an opportunity to provide input towards our CI data management strategy.
About the team
The CI Platform group was created in 2024, as part of the Verify stage, upon evaluating that we needed a dedicated team to work on the operational aspects of GitLab CI to ensure our platform remains best-in-class. The team has been largely focused on partitioning CI/CD Data and has started to explore aspects of CI Data retention and improved data management. You will get to dive into some complex technical challenges and collaborate with our infrastructure teams to strategize on solving these exciting challenges related to how we scale and grow CI. More details can be found in our technical roadmap for Verify .
We live our transparency value by designing our systems and planning our work with publicly facing artifacts. Some examples of our work include:
- CI/CD data time decay: design document , planned work
