Backend Engineer, Create: Repository Management
from GitLab · read the original and apply on their site
Remote, United Kingdom
Our take: The real work here is building reliable Ruby and GraphQL guardrails for repository management in one of GitLab's oldest, most complex systems, keeping it performant and trustworthy at scale.
If you like keeping a big, old, critical system reliable rather than chasing greenfield glamour, this is your kind of work. You will write Ruby and GraphQL to build guardrails for repositories used by millions, untangling legacy complexity and tuning for performance while learning from a small, seasoned team. It is fully remote, async-friendly, and built for people who take real ownership of what they ship.
