An overview of this role
As an Intermediate Backend Engineer in the Database Automation team, you'll develop and enhance the frameworks, patterns, and tooling that keep GitLab's application datastores scalable, healthy, and safe across GitLab.com and thousands of self-managed instances. You'll work closely with experienced engineers and cross-functional teams to build reliable backend features, learn best practices in data architecture and lifecycle management, and contribute to identifying and addressing performance improvements in our infrastructure.
