A live role
Senior Backend Engineer (Ruby), Plan: Spec-Driven Development
from GitLab · read the original and apply on their site
Remote, Poland
Our take: The real work here is building the backend and evaluation systems behind AI agents that turn intent into mergeable code, owned end to end on a small remote team.
If you love turning a fuzzy idea into shippable code and you are quietly thrilled by AI agents that write software, this is the rare backend seat where you help invent the intent-to-code loop from a near-blank page. You will own real features end to end on a tiny distributed team, shape scope with users and product, and build the evaluation systems that prove the workflows actually work. It rewards people who enjoy ambiguity, write clearly across time zones, and want their fingerprints on one of GitLab's biggest bets.
