They will assist with analyzing CI/CD pipeline performance, monitoring infrastructure utilization, documenting operational processes, and identifying opportunities for automation and continuous improvement. This position offers exposure to large-scale development platforms and modern DevOps practices that enable engineers to efficiently build, test, and deliver software.

• Assist the DevOps team with building dashboards, monitoring platform performance, and analyzing operational metrics for GitLab infrastructure and CI/CD systems.
• Instrument the parts we watch less closely today, such as Gitaly, Postgres, Redis and object storage.
