from GitLab · read the original and apply on their site
Remote, United Kingdom
Our take: The real work here is scaling GitLab CI's Rails and Postgres backend while defining, instrumenting, and responsibly shipping AI agents that millions of pipelines depend on.
If you love turning a huge production system into something faster and more trustworthy, this is CI infrastructure at real scale, where millions of jobs depend on your judgment. You get to define what good looks like for AI in CI before anyone builds it, then prove it with baselines, dashboards, and honest metrics. It is remote, evidence-driven work for someone who wants their Rails and Postgres depth to actually shape where an ambitious agentic roadmap goes.
