Senior Backend Engineer, SSCS: AI Governance

What you’ll do:

• Implement and evolve the AI audit event pipline, including event ingestion, schema normalization, storage design, partitioning, retention, and export capabilities.
• Implement access control for AI Governance features by integrating permissions for audit logs, policy configuration, and governance dashboards into GitLab's existing authorization model.
• Contribute backend functionality for the AI agent artifact feature, supporting structured storage and retrieval of agent run metadata alongside existing CI/CD artifacts.

What you’ll bring:

• Extensive experience building backend applications with Ruby on Rails in production environments.
• Proficiency in Python and experience building backend services that support AI infrastructure, gateways, or adjacent product systems.
• Extensive experience with PostgreSQL and other data-intensive databases such as ClickHouse, including schema design, partitioning strategies, and efficient query patterns for event-heavy workloads.

About the team:

• You'll join the AI Governance team within GitLab's Secure, Scale, and Compliance area.
• Our work spans two broad problem spaces: visibility, such as audit events, usage tracking, and observability, and policy controls, such as controls that help protect projects and meet compliance requirements.
• You'll work with a distributed group of engineers and collaborate with adjacent AI and Continuous Delivery teams as we integrate governance capabilities more deeply into the platform.
