Intermediate Backend Engineer (Ruby on Rails) — GitLab, Bangalore — Supply Chain Security Add-On
About the Role
GitLab is the intelligent orchestration platform for DevSecOps — trusted by more than 50 million registered users and over half of the Fortune 100. As an Intermediate Backend Engineer on the SSCS Add-On team, you'll help build a dedicated software supply chain security feature for regulated enterprise organizations: capabilities that help customers control software dependencies, verify artifact integrity, and identify malicious packages before they reach production.
Your work sits at the intersection of backend engineering, product integration, and security-focused development — in a small team where your influence on implementation details and product experience is real and immediate.
The Tech Stack
- Ruby on Rails as the primary language, with Go services as needed
- Integration with GitLab's existing software composition analysis scanning infrastructure
- RSpec and integration test coverage as a first-class practice
What You'll Do
- Implement well-scoped backend features across the supply chain security product — package policy integrations, ingestion pipeline improvements, signing and verification support, and reliability work
- Connect Add-On functionality with GitLab's security scanning experience so findings surface consistently in merge request security reports
- Write and maintain comprehensive automated tests to keep releases safe and consistent
- Take on work across feature areas as priorities evolve — this team needs generalists who adapt
- Participate actively in code review and contribute clear internal documentation
What You Bring
- Solid Ruby on Rails backend experience; exposure to Go is a plus
- Interest in security-focused product engineering — no need to be a security specialist, but curiosity helps
- Clear written communication and async-first working style — GitLab is all-remote
- A quality bar that treats tests and docs as part of the feature
Why GitLab
Bangalore-based role with global reach: your code runs across GitLab.com, self-managed instances, and GitLab Dedicated. You'll join a values-driven, all-remote culture where AI is a core productivity multiplier — and a small team where you can shape the product.
