Senior Fullstack Engineer, Marketing

The role

This position focuses on the backend foundations behind GitLab's go-to-market and audience-growth tooling. The engineer helps decide what gets built and how, guiding work from early scoping through to stable production operation. Frontend contributions are welcome when a project needs them.

What you would do

• Create and maintain server-side services and endpoints that power go-to-market and growth tooling
• Pick up frontend tasks when a feature or project requires it
• Set technical direction for owned systems, weighing in-house builds against external products and balancing delivery speed with upkeep
• Find and fix bottlenecks and fragile spots in backend code before end users run into them
• Assess peers' code and design proposals and give constructive feedback
• Coach junior engineers on the team
• Write down architecture choices and backend structure so others can extend the work independently

What they asked for

• Proven history of running backend services in live environments
• Working full-stack ability across Vue, Node.js, Go and Ruby
• Hands-on depth in service architecture, endpoint design, schema modeling and query tuning
• Independently weighing competing technical options and their downsides
• Able to keep pace when deadlines shift because of campaigns or launches
• Writes clearly, producing design records that let distributed colleagues move forward without real-time sync
• Collaborates proactively; experience from platform, data or product engineering is valued

Nice to have

• Background building marketing, growth or GTM-oriented systems such as web properties, content tools or campaign tooling
• Familiarity with operating in fully remote-first organizations
• Experience guiding engineers and steering technical direction beyond one's own tasks
• Ability to explain technical trade-offs to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders
