Remote, Canada; Remote, United States
Our take: The real work here is setting technical direction for AI agents that act on customer codebases, building it in Ruby on Rails, and lifting a small distributed team through design, mentoring, and clear async writing.
If you love shaping how autonomous agents work on real codebases and want to set the technical direction rather than just follow it, this is your kind of problem. You will build on GitLab's Duo Agent Platform with Ruby and Rails, integrate LLMs into products people rely on, and lift a small distributed team through mentoring, sharp design, and clear writing. It suits someone who thrives on autonomy, ownership, and thinking out loud in the open.
