An overview of this role As a Senior Backend Engineer in GitLab’s Platform Enablement organization, you will help make GitLab easier to deploy, validate, and operate across environments. This team is centered on two major areas: Cloud Native deployment guidance and ephemeral environments. You’ll help shape GitLab’s next generation of self-managed deployment guidance as Reference Architectures evolve toward a model based on deployment patterns, workload characterization, component requirements, topology guidance, and scaling principles. You’ll also help improve production-like ephemeral environments so teams can validate changes earlier, test against infrastructure and deployment conditions that more closely reflect real-world operation, and reduce drift between development, CI, and production. This includes shaping the tooling, workflows, and platform contracts that make these environments more consistent, more repeatable, and more useful to engineers building and shipping across GitLab’s different deployment models. Current projects Deployment Environments is currently focused on: • Evolving GitLab’s self-managed deployment guidance beyond legacy Reference Architectures into a clear Cloud Native model. • Improving production-like ephemeral environments for earlier, higher-confidence validation. • Supporting a platform model where services declare requirements, operators satisfy them, and shared artifacts work across GitLab.com, Dedicated, and Self-Managed. What you’ll do In this role, you’ll: • Build tooling and workflows for cloud-native and self-managed deployment environments. • Contribute to Cloud Native deployment guidance, including component requirements, architecture patterns, topology guidance, and scaling principles. • Improve ephemeral environments that bring validation closer to production reality. • Work across application, infrastructure, and platform boundaries to keep deployment artifacts and environment contracts consistent from development through production. • Partner with related teams on packaging, testing, delivery workflows, and customer-facing deployment guidance. What you’ll bring • Strong backend engineering experience, ideally with Kubernetes-based systems, distributed applications, or platform engineering • Experience with deployment architecture, environment management, or cloud-nativ
