What you’ll do

Implement well-scoped backend features across the Add-On's supply chain security product, including package policy integrations, ingestion pipeline improvements, signing and verification support, and reliability-focused work, delivering maintainable code on agreed timelines and meeting team-defined delivery commitments.
Build and maintain integrations between Add-On functionality and GitLab's existing software composition analysis scanning infrastructure so findings appear consistently and accurately in merge request security reports, reducing integration issues and supporting a reliable user experience.
Write and maintain comprehensive automated test coverage, including RSpec and integration tests, to improve test reliability, reduce regressions, and support safe, consistent releases as the codebase grows.
Take on work across multiple feature areas as priorities evolve, contributing as a generalist where the team needs support most.
Participate actively in code review by giving thoughtful, actionable feedback and incorporating feedback constructively into your own work to help maintain code quality and reduce rework.
Contribute clear internal documentation for the features and behavior you ship so teammates can support, extend, and troubleshoot the product effectively.
Coordinate with adjacent Software Supply Chain Security teams, including Dependency Firewall and Malware Database, as the Add-On brings together capabilities from across GitLab, helping deliver aligned functionality and smoother cross-team execution.
Collaborate effectively in an async-first environment across global time zones, including occasional off-hours overlap when needed, to keep work moving and decisions documented clearly.
