Senior Backend Engineer (Go), Tenant Scale: Gitaly
from GitLab · read the original and apply on their site
Remote, Poland
Our take: The real work here is designing and operating GitLab's Git storage tier so repository access stays fast and dependable, owning initiatives from design through incidents.
If you like living at the boundary between GitLab and Git, where storage has to be fast, reliable and correct under real load, this is your kind of problem. You will own initiatives end to end, reason hard about failure modes and concurrency, and carry the systems you build through incidents and improvements. It suits an engineer who wants deep ownership, an autonomous remote team, and a pragmatic culture that prizes thoughtful trade-offs over heroics.
