An overview of this role As a Staff Backend Engineer on GitLab's Events & Messaging Platform team, you'll be a foundational technical leader on a high-visibility infrastructure initiative that sits underneath nearly everything GitLab ships. GitLab runs two separate systems for async work today — Sidekiq for short-lived background jobs and a purpose-built event bus for longer-running workflows. This role consolidates both into a single durable, scalable messaging and event-processing platform that powers GitLab's first-party products and underpins third-party integrations like webhooks and external triggers. You'll bridge architecture and execution — owning the design of a genuinely multi-tenant distributed system, breaking it into work the team can deliver, and solving the hard problems along the way. You'll bring strong instincts around durability, tenant isolation, and horizontal scalability — telling a design that's durable from one that only looks durable under light load — and own reliability end to end. A defining challenge is migrating existing production workloads off the legacy systems without disrupting the traffic they carry. What you'll do Lead technical execution on the CD platform: decompose complex architectural designs into well-scoped, deliverable work and drive the team to ship with quality and confidence. Solve high-complexity engineering problems and contribute architectural feedback that shapes how the system evolves. Set and maintain the technical bar across the codebase through code review, mentorship, and example. Mentor engineers at all levels, helping them grow their technical capabilities and navigate difficult problems. Represent the CD team in cross-functional engineering discussions and contribute to written technical proposals and architectural documents. Participate in on-call rotations to help ensure GitLab.com availability targets are met. What you'll bring Deep professional experience building backend services in Go, with a track record in high-scale production environments. Demonstrated expertise in distributed systems design, including durable workflow execution, state persistence, and event-driven architectures. Extensive experience leading or contributing to release orchestration, deployment automation, or continuous delivery systems at scale. Extensive hands-on experience with Docker and Kubernetes at production scale, including progressive delivery patterns such as blue/green and canary deployments. Strong familiarity with GitOps workflows and tools in that ecosystem. Experience with policy-based governance in software delivery systems. Proven ability to…

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.
