Our take: The real work here is hands-on coding in Ruby and Go while removing the friction, flaky tests, and slow pipelines that slow every engineering team at GitLab.
If you love making other engineers faster and happier, this is your kind of work: coding in Ruby and Go while hunting down the flaky tests, slow pipelines, and quiet friction that drag whole teams down. You will move across six teams, jump into the hardest problems, and win people over by making things genuinely better rather than by pulling rank. Come do this if you get a real kick out of a smoother, more confident development experience for everyone.
