A live role
Software Engineer, Delivery : Release
from GitLab · read the original and apply on their site
Bangalore, India
Our take: The real work here is building backend tools and frameworks that automate GitLab's release process so software ships faster, safer, and more reliably across every environment.
If you love writing backend code that makes shipping software smoother and safer for everyone downstream, this is your kind of work. You will build tools and frameworks that automate the release process, sit shoulder to shoulder with SREs, and watch Mean Time to Production actually drop because of what you made. It rewards curiosity about infrastructure, a product builder's instinct, and the quiet satisfaction of turning messy manual release work into something reliable.
