Senior Backend Engineer, Manage: Compliance

This Senior Backend Engineer position for our Manage: Compliance group is 100% remote.

As a Senior Backend Engineer in our Compliance group, you'll play a key role in maturing enterprise-grade Compliance features which have a direct impact on GitLab's enterprise sales success.

You'll help us overcome database scaling issues in PostgresSQL, learn a great deal about compliance, and partner closely with cross-functional team members in Product Management, Product Design, Quality, and other areas.

The culture here at GitLab is something we're incredibly proud of. Some of the benefits you'll be entitled to vary by region or country you're in. However, all GitLab team members are fully remote and receive a "no ask, must tell" paid-time-off policy, where we don't count the number of days you take off annually -- instead, we focus on your results. You can work the hours you choose, enabled by our asynchronous approach to communication. You can also expect stock options and a competitive salary. Our compensation calculator will be shared with selected candidates before any interview.

Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DIB) are fundamental to the success of GitLab. We want to infuse DIB in every way possible and in all that we do. We strive to create a transparent environment where all team members around the world feel that their voices are heard and welcomed. We also aim to be a place where people can show up as their full selves each day and contribute their best. With more than 100,000 organizations using GitLab, our goal is to have a team that is representative of our users.

• Contribute to the overall direction of the Compliance group and play a key role in maturing GitLab's Compliance offering.
• Confidently ship moderately sized features and improvements with minimal guidance and support from other team members.

• Provide mentorship for Junior and Intermediate Engineers on your team to help them grow in their technical responsibilities and remove blockers to their autonomy.
• Engage in the trainee maintainer program at your own comfortable pace, while striving to become a full-fledged project maintainer.

• Significant professional experience with Ruby on Rails.
• Proficiency in the English language, both written and verbal, sufficient for success in a remote and largely asynchronous work environment.

• Comfort working in a highly agile, intensely iterative software development process.

• Demonstrated ability to work closely with other parts of an organization.
• Share our values, and work in accordance with those values.
