GitLab features must ship successfully across four distinct deployment platforms—Self-Managed, Dedicated, Dedicated for Government, and GitLab.com. Today, developers routinely discover platform compatibility issues late in development, triggering costly rework, delays, and emergency escalations. The Platform Readiness team is building an internal developer tooling capability that embeds platform readiness intelligence directly into GitLab's software development lifecycle to solve this problem.

As an Intermediate Backend Engineer on the newly established Platform Readiness functional team in Developer Experience, you'll contribute to the systems that enable features to ship successfully across all platforms by building and maintaining agentic workflow components and evolving the platform requirements knowledge base. This is a growth opportunity: you will learn the Platform Readiness team's agentic workflows, requirements schema, and integration surfaces from other engineers and team leadership. You'll work on concrete, high-impact problems while developing expertise in platform readiness automation and AI-driven systems.

What you'll do

Build and maintain agentic workflow components on the Duo Agent Platform: contribute to the Core Agentic Workflow (DAP flow) and the Requirements Agent; write tests, documentation, and evaluations for agentic-workflow behavior

Contribute to the platform requirements knowledge base : add requirements, evolve the schema, and improve validation tooling; work with platform teams to translate their expertise into structured requirements

Build integration surfaces that enable feature teams to engage the Platform Readiness team where they already work: issues, merge requests, design documents, and CI/CD pipelines

Collaborate with platform teams (Infrastructure, Security, Data) to translate their expertise into platform readiness artifacts and domain skills

Write clear and concise documentation and evaluations that validate agentic-workflow behavior and improve assessment accuracy

What you'll bring

Required Experience & Skills

Software engineering experience with backend focus

Proficiency in TypeScript/Node, Python, or Golang

Comfort reading and contributing to schemas (YAML, JSON Schema) and structured content

Experience with and operational exposure to Kubernetes and reasoning about failure modes

Ability to work asynchronously and communicate clearly in written form

Exposure to and experience with LLM APIs, prompts, or agentic frameworks (does not need to be incredibly extensive)
