An overview of this role The Trusted Agentic Development team sits within GitLab's Developer Experience group and builds the platforms our own engineers rely on every day. GitLab engineers increasingly build software with artificial intelligence (AI) agents. Agents generate code and tests in seconds, so speed is no longer the constraint. Confidence is. Agents can produce a passing test suite for software that doesn't work as intended, and a reviewer may not be able to tell the difference without redoing the work by hand. As Engineering Manager, Trusted Agentic Development, you'll build and lead the team that closes this gap. You'll help define what validation means when the author is an agent and make the feedback loop fast, automatic, and trustworthy. You'll point the team at the right version of an open problem and earn adoption across GitLab by building the best path, not by mandating a process. Validation that confirms agent-generated code does what was intended, so a passing suite means a working feature and not just a satisfied proxy. Mid-loop feedback that helps an agent self-correct toward working software instead of green assertions. Language-aware approaches under one shared model of what "trusted" means, starting with Rust, Ruby, and Go, while allowing the right technique to differ by language. Real measurement of whether engineers trust and adopt the path, with findings fed directly back into the platform. What you'll do Build and grow the team by hiring and developing engineers who practice agentic development, and create a culture that treats this as an open problem to solve rather than a process to enforce. Set direction in an undefined space by partnering with your team to shape the technical approach for validating agent-built software. Keep the team focused on the highest-impact version of the problem rather than the easiest one. Earn adoption by building relationships with engineering teams across GitLab, learning how they work with agents today, and creating a platform they choose because it makes them faster and more confident. Measure engineer adoption and trust through real usage, treat adopters as design partners, and use findings to prioritize where confidence is breaking down. Stay close to the technical work by engaging in architecture and design discussions, reviewing proposals, and keeping your judgment current as agentic development changes. Run the team with clear goals, direct feedback, honest performance management, and ownership of complex work from planning through completion without relying on a dedicated program manager. What you'll bring Direct experience using AI agents to build software, including lessons from successes and missteps and a clear point of view on why a passing test suite isn't the same as working software. Experience leading engineering teams through ambiguous, early-stage problems where the right approach wasn't yet known. The ability to drive adoption through influence and a useful product rather than through mandate, including partnering across teams you don't manage. Technical depth to engage credibly in architecture and validation strategy discussions and earn the trust of senior engineers. Experience designing distributed systems designed to run on Kubernetes first. A history of building accountable, high-performing teams, including hiring well, developing team members, and addressing underperformance directly. Strong written communication skills in an all-remote, asynchronous environment. Alignment with GitLab's values, especially collaboration, iteration, and transparency. This isn't a quality assurance (QA) or test automation management role. We care far more about your experience leading teams that build with agents than about depth in any particular testing discipline. About the team The Trusted Agentic Development team is part of GitLab's Developer Experience group. We build platforms and practices that help GitLab engineers validate agent-generated software with confidence. We work across engineering teams and programming languages to understand how people use agents, test new approaches in real workflows, and create a shared model of trusted agentic development that teams choose to adopt.

An overview of this role The Trusted Agentic Development team sits within GitLab's Developer Experience group and builds the platforms our engineers rely on every day. GitLab engineers increasingly build software with artificial intelligence agents. Agents can generate code and tests in seconds, but they can also produce passing test suites for software that doesn't work as intended. As a Senior Backend Engineer, Trusted Agentic Development, you'll own the technical thesis for closing that validation gap and build the early proof yourself. You'll rethink what validation means when the author is an agent and make the feedback loop fast, automatic, and trustworthy enough that teams choose to adopt it. Validation that confirms agent-generated code does what was intended, so a passing suite means a working feature and not just a satisfied proxy. Mid-loop feedback that helps an agent self-correct toward working software instead of green assertions. Language-aware approaches under one shared model of what "trusted" means, starting with Rust, Ruby, and Go, while allowing the right technique to differ by language. Real measurement of whether engineers trust and adopt the path, fed straight back into the platform. What you’ll do Own the technical thesis for how GitLab validates software when an agent is the author, and turn it into an architecture the team can build against. Prototype the hard parts by building early versions of feedback mechanisms that catch the gap between passing tests and working software, proving what works before the team scales it. Develop approaches for GitLab's primary stacks, starting with Rust, Ruby, and Go, under one shared definition of "trusted," while allowing the right technique to differ by language. Design the mid-loop feedback an agent needs to self-correct toward working software rather than green assertions, and build the systems that deliver it. Collaborate with engineering teams to adopt these approaches, measure adoption, engineer trust, and validation quality, and use those findings to improve the platform. Set technical direction the team can build on, review designs, and help teammates grow their technical judgment. What you’ll bring Deep, current, hands-on experience building real software with artificial intelligence agents, ideally across more than one language, and a clear understanding of why agent output can pass tests yet fail in production. A strong point of view on the validation gap and concrete ideas for closing it, backed by approaches you've built or tried. Experience designing distributed systems designed to run on Kubernetes first. The technical range to design systems rather than tune a single framework, and the judgment to know when a solution should be general or language-specific. You prototype to learn, and you ship. The ability to influence engineers across an organization without formal authority through working code and sound reasoning. Strong written communication in an all-remote, asynchronous environment. Alignment with GitLab's values, especially collaboration, iteration, and transparency. This isn't a quality assurance or test automation role. We aren't looking for depth in a particular testing framework. We're looking for someone who has built with agents, experienced the validation gap firsthand, and wants to solve it. About the team The Trusted Agentic Development team is part of GitLab's Developer Experience group. We build platforms and practices that help GitLab engineers validate agent-generated software with confidence. We work across engineering teams and programming languages to understand how people use agents, test new approaches in real workflows, and create a shared model of trusted agentic development that teams choose to adopt.

An overview of this role As a Fullstack Engineer on the Duo Client SDK team at GitLab, you'll build the shared foundation for every GitLab Duo client. Today, the logic that powers Duo in editors lives inside the GitLab Language Server. We're extracting it into a true software development kit (SDK): a set of well-versioned TypeScript packages that editor extensions, our web-based Duo Chat on GitLab.com, and eventually external applications can use. You'll work in TypeScript across frontend and backend systems. You'll design the SDK's Node.js core and public application programming interface (API), and work in the clients that use it. The work rewards care about interfaces, versioning, and backward compatibility as much as features because other engineers will depend on what you build. You'll have senior and staff engineers alongside you to help with design. You'll own the implementation of scoped packages and ship improvements with minimal guidance while collaborating with the team on larger architectural changes. Some examples of our projects: The Duo Client SDK, extracting versioned, publishable packages from the GitLab Language Server The GitLab Language Server, rebuilt on top of the SDK as our polyglot surface Duo Chat on the web, as one of the SDK's first consumers What you'll do Develop secure, well-tested, and performant TypeScript features that solve technical problems of moderate scope and complexity. Ship small features and improvements with minimal guidance, writing tests with every merge request and contributing to code reviews and design discussions. Extract and publish TypeScript packages from the GitLab Language Server, migrating consumers incrementally so no parallel implementation is left to drift. Design durable public APIs with clear interfaces, semantic versioning, changelogs, and deprecation paths for external consumers. Build isomorphic core packages that isolate platform-specific behavior in adapters at the edges. Build and improve SDK client surfaces, including Vue 3 components in Duo Chat on the web, in collaboration with product, design, and engineering teams. Strengthen credential handling across hosts, including bearer tokens, session cookies, and CSRF protection. Optimize bundle size, startup cost, and dependency weight for browser consumers, and support a Tier 2 on-call rotation for urgent engineering issues. What you'll bring Strong proficiency with TypeScript across frontend and backend systems, including experience building and maintaining Node.js services. Experience with modern build and packaging tools, including monorepos, multi-module builds, ECMAScript modules (ESM), and dependency management. Experience with Vue 3 and the Composition API, or comparable component-based frontend experience and a willingness to learn Vue. Experience designing APIs that other people use, with the ability to explain what you'd do differently. Understanding of the differences between running code in Node.js and in the browser, and how to write code that works in both. A security-minded development approach, including careful credential handling and performance optimization. Ability to communicate clearly and concisely in writing about technical problems, propose iterative solutions, and work effectively in an agile environment. Self-motivation, strong organizational skills, and the judgment to ask for help when needed while thriving in a fully remote organization aligned with GitLab's values. About the team The Duo Client SDK team sits in GitLab's AI Clients stage and works closely with teams building GitLab Duo experiences. We collaborate across client surfaces to make thoughtful technical decisions as the platform evolves. We work fully remotely and asynchronously across regions, in the open, following GitLab's values of transparency and open communication.
