The intelligent orchestration platform for DevSecOps, enabling teams and agents to ship trusted software at enterprise scale. Backed by General Catalyst and Khosla.
About the role
As a Senior Platform Engineer on the Orbit team, you'll help build and scale GitLab Orbit, a high-impact knowledge graph data service that supports agents, analytics, and architecture-level features across GitLab.com, Dedicated, and Self-Managed deployments. You'll join a small, senior, Rust-first team and focus on how backend code behaves within a distributed, cloud-native system, making graph capabilities reliable, observable, secure, and easy for other teams and agents to use.
What they're looking for
- Design, build, and operate GitLab Orbit backend services, primarily in Rust, within a distributed, cloud-native environment
- Automate recurring operational work and build tools that make deployments, upgrades, recovery, capacity management, and service maintenance safer and more efficient
- Investigate production issues, address underlying causes, and write backend code that handles concurrency, partial failures, retries, consistency, idempotency, performance, and multi-tenant isolation
- Design reliable, scalable, and cost-aware data workflows using systems such as Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3), ClickHouse, NATS, and Siphon
