An overview of this role

As a Senior Backend Engineer on the Monitor: Platform Insights team, you’ll help build a unified data event platform that lets GitLab users query, visualize, and analyze data from across all stages of the DevSecOps lifecycle. You’ll focus on high-scale, data-rich Golang services and strong database integrations (PostgreSQL and ClickHouse) to power a consistent dashboard experience, so users can monitor the health of their teams, processes, and services from a single pane of glass. You’ll collaborate closely with Product Management, UX, and other engineering teams to ship secure, well-tested, and performant backend features, and to help other GitLab teams integrate monitoring and insights into their product areas. Over your first year, you’ll take ownership of key backend components in this event platform, contribute to improving quality, security, and performance, and play a central role in shaping how customers understand and optimize their workflows within GitLab.

Some examples of our projects:

Building scalable Golang backend services and data pipelines that aggregate events from multiple GitLab stages into a unified insights platform
Designing and improving dashboards and metrics that provide actionable visibility into team, process, and service health

What you’ll do

Develop backend components and services in Golang that process high-scale, data-rich event streams for the unified Platform Insights experience
Design and implement database interactions using PostgreSQL and ClickHouse, focusing on performance, reliability, and observability use cases
Collaborate with Product Management, UX, and other engineering teams to define, build, and iterate on monitoring and insights features that solve real user problems
Craft maintainable, well-tested, and secure code that follows team standards, and uphold these standards through thoughtful code reviews
Integrate data from multiple GitLab stages into a unified event platform so users can monitor teams, processes, and services in a single dashboard
Partner with other GitLab product teams to embed monitoring, dashboards, and insights into their areas of the GitLab platform
