Job description

We’re seeking a mission-aligned Software Engineer to help build and improve our products. You’ll build and support the Python services that run our business: pharmacy claims processing, medical claims processing, batch data pipelines, and internal web applications.

  • Implement features in our claims, eligibility, and drug-pricing workflows
  • Ensure high-quality deliverables through well-designed, maintainable, and unit-tested code
  • Write and tune SQL against our MySQL databases: queries, reports, and stored procedures
  • Participate in the full application lifecycle: design, code review, deployment, and production support
  • Collaborate across departments to align technical solutions with business goals
  • Use AI-assisted development tools to accelerate delivery while owning the correctness, testing, and review of your work, Own and evolve GitLab’s authorization systems across its Ruby on Rails monolith and next-generation Rust policy engine.
