Staff Fullstack Engineer, Data Products (Golang / Node)

Overview

Staff Fullstack Engineer on the Data Products team, a 0-to-1 team integrating GitLab and third-party SDLC data and building the dashboards, APIs, and data products that turn it into trusted intelligence for customers and internal teams.

What you'll do

• Architect how GitLab and third-party data is ingested, modeled, and synced into the knowledge graph as a near-real-time graph of the development ecosystem.
• Lead integration with external systems for business context (Jira, observability tools, Zendesk, ServiceNow), indexed into the graph.
• Architect the Data Marketplace so customers consume GitLab data through Snowflake, Databricks, and BigQuery with no engineering dependencies.
• Publish GitLab observability as OpenTelemetry and broker the data-sharing APIs.
• Define operational readiness for everything the team ships across GitLab.com, Dedicated, and Self-Managed.
• Translate an ambiguous 0 to 1 problem space into concrete, iterable roadmaps in partnership with Product, Design, and the graph backend team.
• Resolve cross-team dependencies across graph backend, AI Platform, and Infrastructure without escalating everything upward.
• Mentor senior and intermediate engineers through design reviews, pairing, and code review.
• Identify systemic bottlenecks, simplify processes, and design systems that dramatically improve execution velocity.

What you'll need

• Proven ability to influence as a Staff engineer owning product or platform systems end to end across multiple engineering and product teams.
• High agency: finds the owner, clarifies the path, makes the call, and keeps pushing until the work lands.
• Force multiplier who raises the people and the codebase around them.
• Deep full-stack expertise, including strong proficiency in Go, Ruby and Node.
• Depth in at least one of analytics and metrics platforms, graph data systems, CDC and warehouse integration.
• Hands-on experience building production AI-powered tool orchestration.
