Remote, Canada; Remote, United Kingdom
Our take: The real work here is building and integrating AI-powered agentic backend features across a Python service and the GitLab Ruby monolith so Duo Chat stays reliable, fast, and accurate at scale.
If you love turning large language models and multi-agent flows into backend features people actually rely on, this is your patch. You will own complex work end to end across a Python service and a Ruby monolith, wiring up agentic chat that shapes the customer experience directly. It suits someone who cares about reliability at scale, writes things down for others, and enjoys the calm rhythm of async, documentation-first collaboration.
