As an Intermediate Backend Engineer on the Monitor: Platform Insights team, you’ll help build a unified data event platform that lets GitLab users query, visualize, and analyze data from across all stages of the DevSecOps lifecycle. You’ll focus on high-scale, data-rich Golang services and strong database integrations (PostgreSQL and ClickHouse) to power a consistent dashboard experience, so users can monitor the health of their teams, processes, and services from a single pane of glass. You’ll collaborate closely with Product Management, UX, and other engineering teams to ship secure, well-tested, and performant backend features, and to help other GitLab teams integrate monitoring and insights into their product areas. Over your first year, you’ll take ownership of key backend components in this event platform, contribute to improving quality, security, and performance, and play a central role in shaping how customers understand and optimize their workflows within GitLab.
Some examples of our projects:
The Platform Insights team sits within GitLab’s Monitor stage and focuses on building a unified data event platform that lets users query, visualize, and analyze data across all stages of the DevSecOps lifecycle. We are a small, cross-functional group of Backend Engineers and Data Engineers distributed across multiple regions, working asynchronously and documenting decisions transparently so collaboration stays smooth across time zones. We own the backend services and data pipelines that power dashboards, health metrics, and insights experiences inside GitLab, with a goal of giving users a consistent “single pane of glass” to understand their teams, processes, and services. Current challenges and opportunities include scaling high-volume event ingestion, improving performance for complex analytical queries, and creating reusable monitoring and insights capabilities that other GitLab product teams can adopt. For more on how we work, see the Team Handbook page.
