A live role
Backend Engineer, Source Code: Repository Services (Ruby)
from GitLab · read the original and apply on their site
Remote, Canada
Our take: The real work here is taking backend features from a fuzzy problem through shipping and operating them for millions of users, working async and owning the outcome.
If you like owning a backend feature from the first fuzzy requirement all the way through shipping and watching it run for millions of users, this is that job. You get real autonomy in a remote, async team where code review is treated as a way to grow rather than a gate, and where AI is a genuine daily tool you learn to trust and to doubt. Bring sound instincts about security, performance and maintainability, a willingness to learn new languages, and clear writing, and you will have tenured engineers alongside you.
