## Description

GitLab is seeking a Senior Backend Engineer, Platform Enablement. As a Senior Backend Engineer, Performance Enablement, you'll make performance testing and analysis easier for engineering teams to adopt and own. You'll build platforms, tooling, guidance, and artificial intelligence-assisted workflows that help teams identify performance risks during development and before they roll changes out to production.

Responsibilities:

- Build and evolve reusable backend platforms and tooling for performance testing and analysis.

- Create self-service workflows, documentation, templates, diagnostics, and artificial intelligence skills that reduce the need for bespoke support.

- Use development practices that apply artificial intelligence to accelerate implementation, testing, debugging, and technical documentation.

- Influence engineering teams to make performance testing part of normal development and release preparation.

- Turn early hands-on engagements into generalized capabilities that many teams can adopt independently.

- Provide technical expertise for difficult performance questions, tooling enhancements, and new platform capabilities.

Requirements:

- Experience building backend or platform software.

- Experience building internal platforms or developer-facing tooling.

- Experience partnering with development teams to improve their day-to-day workflows.

- Experience using development practices that apply artificial intelligence across the software lifecycle.

- Experience with software performance, such as performance analysis, optimization, benchmarking, or leading performance-related improvements.

- Practical experience with Kubernetes, k6, and Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, or similar cloud infrastructure.

- Experience building durable solutions that support broad adoption using systems thinking.

- Communicate clearly in writing and influence teams without direct authority.

Benefits:

- Benefits to support your health, finances, and well-being

- Flexible Paid Time Off

- Team Member Resource Groups

- Equity Compensation & Employee Stock Purchase Plan

- Growth and Development Fund

- Parental Leave
