Our take: The real work here is engineering Ruby on Rails tools and AI-driven detection to spot and stop abuse on GitLab.com before it spreads.

You are a strong Ruby on Rails engineer who wants to point those skills at something with real stakes: stopping spammers, fraudsters and abuse campaigns before they hurt millions of users. Here you would maintain and grow an in-house abuse detection platform, build anomaly detection, and push agentic AI further so machines carry more of the load. If you like thinking like a hacker, learning security on the job, and owning outcomes in a fully remote team, this is a place to grow.
