Staff Backend Engineer (Ruby)
Full-time
GitLab
Role Description
The DAP Repository Flows team owns two areas within GitLab's Duo Agent Platform (DAP):
- DAP onboarding: Helping customers quickly set up a project to start using the Duo Agent Platform with minimal friction.
- Repository and background flows: Autonomous and scheduled agents that work on a customer's codebase on their behalf.
This work is central to how GitLab delivers AI-powered automation on repositories. As a Staff Software Engineer, you will:
- Set and drive the technical direction for the DAP Repository Flows team, making architecture decisions that shape how onboarding and repository/background flows are built.
- Lead the design and delivery of autonomous and scheduled agents that operate on customer codebases, building on top of the Duo Agent Platform.
- Design and refine the DAP onboarding experience so customers can get a project configured and productive quickly.
- Partner across teams in the broader DAP organization to align on interfaces, shared patterns, and platform capabilities.
- Mentor senior and intermediate engineers, review designs and code, and elevate the team's overall technical quality.
- Identify and resolve the hardest technical problems the team faces, and prevent them where possible through sound design.
- Contribute to a culture of autonomy, ownership, high context sharing, and async-first collaboration.
Qualifications
- Deep, hands-on experience with Ruby and Ruby on Rails in production systems.
- Demonstrated experience integrating LLMs into products (product integration, not ML model training).
- Experience building agentic systems: autonomous or semi-autonomous agents that take actions on a user's behalf.
- A track record of designing and shipping complex, high-scale systems and driving technical direction across teams.
- Strong written communication and the ability to operate effectively in a distributed, async-first environment.
- The judgment and influence expected of a staff-level engineer: setting direction, unblocking others, and multiplying the team's impact.
Benefits
- Flexible Paid Time Off
- Team Member Resource Groups
- Equity Compensation & Employee Stock Purchase Plan
- Growth and Development Fund
- Parental Leave
