Intermediate Backend Engineer (Ruby on Rails), Analytics Instrumentation

About the Role

The Analytics Instrumentation Group is part of GitLab's Analytics section and focuses on the instrumentation layer inside the GitLab product. We design privacy-focused data collection inside the GitLab product, so GitLab team members can understand how people use features and where to invest next. We’re a distributed group of backend engineers, frontend engineers, and product managers who collaborate asynchronously across multiple time zones and work closely with Product, Engineering, Customer Success, and Data partners to deliver end-to-end solutions. We own initiatives such as the Internal Events platform, developer-friendly instrumentation tooling and documentation, the Metrics Dictionary and Version App, and privacy-aware analytics workflows. Our work spans both backend and frontend, giving you the opportunity to shape foundational frameworks that many other GitLab teams rely on to understand user behavior and improve the product over time.How GitLab will support you
