Senior Backend Engineer, Trusted Agentic Development

Responsibilities

• 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.
