An overview of this role We're looking for an experienced Product Engineer who cares deeply about users and has full stack experience, with a current focus on backend. You'll spend as much time understanding what users need and shaping how features should work as you do building them. You'll work directly with the product manager, engage with users on our public issue tracker and support tickets, and collaborate with contributors. You'll be deeply involved in the backend architecture that powers the work items platform. This system has to serve millions of work items in a single user's view across tens of thousands of groups and projects. We provide access to Claude Code and other agentic tools and encourage responsible agentic development. We also build our own artificial intelligence (AI) features by integrating GitLab Duo with the work items platform, so experience developing AI features is a strong plus. What you’ll do Collaborate closely with Product to shape requirements and break projects into shippable iterations. Work with other engineers to plan and complete the work. Design and implement backend features across the GitLab monolith, including GraphQL and REST application programming interfaces (APIs) and real-time subscriptions, with a strong focus on performance, reliability, and user impact. Improve PostgreSQL performance at scale by optimizing queries and writes, denormalizing and partitioning tables, and moving workloads to Elasticsearch or ClickHouse where appropriate. The work items framework serves as the foundation for some of the highest-traffic surfaces in GitLab. Contribute to real-time features that keep work item information current as it changes. Create proofs of concept for complex work. Ensure quality through extensive testing and safe rollouts behind feature flags. Mentor engineers and open source contributors through code reviews, pairing, feedback, issue preparation, and contribution reviews. Participate in on-call rotations to troubleshoot production issues, contribute to root cause analysis, and improve observability. Improve the developer experience for yourself and your team, including test infrastructure, the review process, retrospectives, and how we work together. What you’ll bring A strong product mindset. You care about what users are trying to do. You hold strong opinions from the user perspective, listen to peers, and negotiate trade-offs with product managers and users. Experience leading and supporting other engineers. You've driven projects involving several engineers over months. You care about your teammates' growth and give it your time through…

What the pay looks like
GitLab has not published a salary for this role. That is normal — many employers only discuss pay once you reach the offer stage. Ask the recruiter for the range early so you do not spend weeks on a process that cannot meet your number.
Whatever figure you are quoted is CTC, not take-home. Employer PF, gratuity and any variable component sit inside it. Our in-hand salary calculator converts a CTC figure into a realistic monthly number.
Before you apply
Never pay to apply. No genuine employer charges a registration fee, security deposit or training cost. Any request for money is a scam, without exception.
Apply through the employer’s own domain. The button above points at GitLab’s careers portal. If you reach this role through a message or email instead, navigate to the company’s site yourself rather than following the link.
Hold back personal documents. Bank details and identity documents belong at the offer stage, confirmed over official company email — never during a chat-app conversation.
