An overview of this role As a Senior or Staff Backend Engineer with the Database Excellence group , you'll build and evolve database automation and PostgreSQL as a service capabilities for GitLab. The level will be determined during the hiring process. You'll use Go to automate the full lifecycle of PostgreSQL across GitLab's infrastructure, making database operations safer, more consistent, and easier to scale for databases that sit behind high-throughput, always-on internet services. You'll work closely with partner teams to shape how GitLab provisions and manages PostgreSQL in a fully remote, highly collaborative environment. Some examples of our projects: • SQL Traffic Replay Tooling , which validates upgrades and changes against real production workloads. • PostgreSQL as a Service Platform , which provides standardized, automated provisioning and lifecycle management for internal product databases. • PostgreSQL Major Version Upgrade Automation , which supports safe, repeatable major upgrades at GitLab.com scale. What you’ll do • Design, build, and maintain Go-based automation that manages the full PostgreSQL lifecycle, including provisioning, configuration, upgrades, failover, scaling, and decommissioning, reducing reactive operational work that currently takes more than 80% of the team's time. • Build automation that works across infrastructure-as-code tooling and cloud infrastructure, and evaluate operator-based approaches as the platform evolves. • Use AI agents as a regular part of building and operating services, including implementation, review, and reducing repetitive work, while keeping the context agents need in the repository so the whole team can build on it. • Build for internet scale by designing automation and services for high-throughput, always-on production workloads, where GitLab.com traffic sets the bar for correctness, latency, and availability. • Integrate co
