An overview of this role As a Senior Backend Engineer, Performance Enablement, you'll make performance testing and analysis easier for engineering teams to adopt and own. You'll build platforms, tooling, guidance, and artificial intelligence-assisted workflows that help teams identify performance risks during development and before they roll changes out to production. We're moving from a hands-on consulting model to a self-service model. Service teams own their performance tests, analysis, thresholds, and evidence. We provide the paved road, documentation, skills, and expert support for challenging problems and new capabilities. This is a backend and platform engineering role with room to grow in scope and influence. You'll help shape how Performance Enablement supports engineering teams, using artificial intelligence thoughtfully to accelerate design, implementation, testing, debugging, documentation, and automation. You'll support work such as: Enabling modular feature teams, including Orbit and Artifact Registry, to run performance testing through their own development and continuous integration workflows Building reusable performance tooling, including component-level testing, load testing, performance analysis, and artificial intelligence-assisted engineering skills Improving performance results, reporting, and trend visibility so teams can make informed decisions from their own evidence Establishing the documentation, templates, and guidance needed to expand self-service adoption across research and development What you’ll do Build and evolve reusable backend platforms and tooling for performance testing and analysis. Create self-service workflows, documentation, templates, diagnostics, and artificial intelligence skills that reduce the need for bespoke support. Use development practices that apply artificial intelligence to accelerate implementation, testing, debugging, and technical documentation. Influence engineering teams to make performance testing part of normal development and release preparation. Turn early hands-on engagements into generalized capabilities that many teams can adopt independently. Provide technical expertise for difficult performance questions, tooling enhancements, and new platform capabilities. What you’ll bring Experience building backend or platform software. Experience building internal platforms or developer-facing tooling. Experience partnering with development teams to improve their day-to-day workflows. Experience using development practices that apply artificial intelligence across the software lifecycle. Experience with software performance, such as performance analysis, optimization, benchmarking, or leading performance-related improvements.

Debug & Resolve Production Issues: Troubleshoot issues across Kubernetes clusters, cloud services, and GitLab apps—identifying root causes of failed deployments, crash loops, and scheduling conflicts to ensure service continuity. Automate Operations at Scale: Replace manual workflows with infrastructure-as-code solutions, including automated version upgrades, configuration rollouts, and provisioning pipelines that operate reliably across all tenants. Monitor & Predict Capacity: Build observability systems that detect bottlenecks, predict usage trends, and optimize resource consumption using tools like Prometheus, ELK, and Grafana. Respond & Lead During Incidents: Lead incident response and postmortem efforts, applying technical depth to resolve issues and establish operational standards that reduce future risk. Architect & Collaborate: Influence architectural decisions around automation, scalability, and operational excellence. Partner with engineering teams to improve automation, platform resilience, and production-readiness. What You’ll Bring Production-Scale Experience: Proven ability to operate and troubleshoot production workloads across multiple tenants or environments. Deep understanding of how distributed systems fail at scale and how to build in resilience. Terraform & IaC Mastery: Strong hands-on experience with Terraform, including workspace strategies, state management, and automation patterns that scale. Comfortable solving state isolation issues and building reliable, reusable infrastructure code. Experience with Ansible and templating tools like Jsonnet is a plus. Kubernetes in Production: Skilled at diagnosing deployment failures, interpreting pod logs, and debugging scheduling issues and rollback scenarios in live environments. Understands how pods, ReplicaSets, and controllers interact in production. Programming & Code Analysis: Ability to read and debug code in Go and/or Ruby. Familiar with identifying performance issues, scalability concerns, and contributing to infrastructure tooling through thoughtful code analysis. Large Scale Operations Background: Experience supporting infrastructure for many customers or environments simultaneously.

Implement automated detection for billing, data, and event anomalies, and route alerts to the designated feature teams. Develop reconciliation and data integrity checks across usage and billing pipelines. Define and track service reliability targets (SLOs) and service level indicators (SLIs) to measure reliability, write runbooks, and take part in incident handling. Explore artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques to predict system anomalies and accelerate resolution. Review merge requests and offer feedback to other Monetization engineers. Collaborate with Product, Finance, Support, and other partners to turn operational needs into reliable tooling. What you’ll bring Professional experience with Ruby on Rails. A background in site reliability or observability engineering, including monitoring, alerting, SLOs, SLIs, runbooks, incident handling, and tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry. Experience building anomaly detection, monitoring, or risk management tooling. Exposure to data stores for reporting and insights, especially ClickHouse, and the change data capture and event streaming pipelines that feed them, such as NATS JetStream. Experience with billing, financial, or other business-critical systems. Experience owning a project from concept to production, including proposal, discussion, execution, and monitoring. Clear, concise communication about complex technical, architectural, and organizational problems in English, with the ability to propose thorough, iterative solutions in a remote and largely asynchronous work environment. Additional relevant experience includes working knowledge of Python for anomaly detection and data work, and experience with Zuora or Salesforce. About the team You'll report to the Engineering Manager, Observability, Monitoring, and Integrations. Our team works asynchronously, with regular planning and retrospectives, and we jointly manage deployments, incident management, testing, and safe rollouts.

An overview of this role The Observability, Monitoring, and Integrations team sits within GitLab's Monetization section. As a Senior Backend Engineer on the Monetization Platform Integrations team, you'll design, build, and maintain the integrations that connect CustomersDot and Monetization services to GitLab's enterprise applications, including Salesforce and Workato. You'll own robust application programming interface (API) contracts, protect data integrity across systems, and build resilient cross-platform workflows that underpin how customers buy, provision, and renew GitLab. Because these integrations move financial and subscription data between systems, you'll hold a high bar for reliability, observability, and careful rollout. You'll work closely with the monitoring and anomaly detection side of the team so that every integration is observable and failures are caught early. This role is opening at the Senior Backend Engineer level. Some examples of our projects: API contracts between Monetization services and enterprise applications such as Salesforce, Workato, and Zuora Event-driven integrations using webhooks and message-based patterns Resilient synchronization workflows with retries, idempotency, and clear error handling Reconciliation and data integrity checks across integrated financial and subscription systems What you’ll do Design, build, and maintain integrations between CustomersDot, Monetization services, and enterprise applications such as Salesforce, Workato, and Zuora.
