To see similar active jobs please follow this link: Remote Development jobs
An overview of this role Are you confident that AI is going to change our daily work as developers? Do you want to play an active role in shaping that future? The Duo Workflow Group at Gitlab is creating the future of AI driven development at GitLab. At this moment we’re building an AI-Powered coding agent to speed up routine tasks, to improve your work, or to learn different approaches or technologies. At the same time we’re building the underlying platform to power AI driven workflows across GitLab. As our new Backend Engineer, you’ll build out our core service written that hosts and coordinates our AI agents. You’ll be involved in making sure the service follows up-to-date best practices for Python web development and orchestrating the communication between different services via gRPC as well as contributing to the core AI functionality. As a Python engineer through and through you’ll spread your knowledge across a company where the main language is Ruby.
Some examples of our projects:
What You’ll Do
Write high-quality, efficient, and maintainable code while adhering to best practices and contributing to code reviews
Build a highly scalable web platform based on Python and gRPC that can be deployed in different environments.
Design and develop interactions with the latest LLMs.
Contribute to a testing infrastructure that allows us to verify agentic AI behaviours.
Embrace continuous learning and stay connected with industry best practices, tools, and technologies around AI to drive improvements in our software.
Advocate for improvements to product quality, security, and performance
Collaborate with more Senior Engineers on the architectural plans and technical designs ensuring scalability, performance, maintainability and measurability of our Duo Workflow platform.
Participate in Tier 2 or Tier 3 weekday, weekend, and/or occasional night on-call rotations to assist troubleshooting product operations, security operations, and urgent engineering issues.
What You’ll Bring
A deep interest in the way AI will change the process of software development
Multiple years of experience building Python Web Services in a multi-service environment ( e.g. FastAPI, Starlette)
Familiar with deploying, monitoring and debugging Python applications in different setups.
Experience with Relational Database Management Systems and SQL.
Experience with LLM frameworks such as LangChain or directly interacting with LLM APIs
Experience with the gRPC framework is a plus.
Experience with languages that our other services use such as Go, Typescript, Ruby or IDE Extension development is a plus.
A commitment to Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging (DIB at GitLab).
A passion for creating products and features used by developers.
An ability to self manage and organize in an asynchronous and collaborative work environment.
Demonstrated capacity to clearly and concisely communicate about complex technical, architectural, and/or organizational problems and propose thorough iterative solutions.
Familiarity with various stages of software development end-to-end (Agile methodologies is a plus).
Proven ability to work effectively in a team including product managers, designers, and other engineers.
A commitment to continuous learning and openness to giving and receiving feedback as a part of fostering individual and team development.
About the team
The Duo Workflow group is a team distributed across 3 continents but unified by the desire to shape the future of software engineering. We’re hard at work creating a product and the infrastructure that changes development processes, building the tools of tomorrow. We’re partnering with teams both within the AI space as well as all over GitLab to ensure that Duo Workflow can become the backbone of many AI features at GitLab.
How GitLab will support you
All remote, asynchronous work environment
Home office support
Please note that we welcome interest from candidates with varying levels of experience; many successful candidates do not meet every single requirement. Additionally, studies have shown that people from underrepresented groups are less likely to apply to a job unless they meet every single qualification. If you're excited about this role, please apply and allow our recruiters to assess your application.
