Freelance backend golang developer

What you’ll do
Design, develop, and ship well-scoped features within the systems that ingest, store, index, and query security report data, improving data-ingestion reliability and query performance against defined metrics.
Work on the PostgreSQL data layer that supports vulnerability and dependency management, developing your database skills alongside engineers with deep expertise.
Build and improve systems and third-party security integrations using Ruby on Rails and PostgreSQL, and
contribute to newer services using technologies such as Go or Rust as the team expands beyond the monolith.
Participate in technical design discussions and code reviews, asking questions early and raising constraints as you find them.
Collaborate with product and engineering partners on the details of your deliverables.
Deliver iteratively within GitLab's monthly release cycle and communicate progress clearly.
Apply a security mindset when designing systems, including considering how GitLab identifies and handles
malicious or vulnerable software packages.
What you’ll bring
Professional backend engineering experience shipping features to production as part of a collaborative team.
Working knowledge of PostgreSQL, including indexes, query plans, and schema design, and an interest in
developing this into a specialization.
Professional experience with Ruby on Rails, Go, or Python and an interest in working across languages and services.
Experience taking a feature from description through production and asking clear questions early when
requirements are ambiguous.
Clear written communication and comfort working remotely and asynchronously across time zones.
Fluency in using artificial intelligence tools to improve delivery and accelerate your learning while applying sound engineering judgment.
An interest in the security domain. Experience with vulnerability management, dependency management, or security tooling is helpful, and we welcome transferable experience from outside the security domain
