Job Description
As a Senior Backend Engineer on the GitLab CD team, you'll help build a next-generation Continuous Deployment engine from the ground up. This is a greenfield initiative within GitLab's Deploy stage — the work goes well beyond script execution. You'll build systems that bring true reconciliation, live state awareness, durable orchestration, and AI-native governance to GitLab's platform. You'll take end-to-end ownership of complex features, help establish architectural patterns for a brand-new codebase, and collaborate closely with engineers across the Deploy stage and adjacent teams in Verify, Runner, and Infrastructure.
