An overview of this role

As our new Backend Engineer, you will help us maintain, enhance, and create new features in the areas of Secrets Management (https://about.gitlab.com/direction/govern/pipeline_security/secure_artifacts/) and Secure Artifacts (https://about.gitlab.com/direction/govern/pipeline_security/secure_artifacts/) , and research support for new offerings and architectures.

The Pipeline Security group (https://handbook.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/development/ops/verify/pipeline-security/) is involved with diverse projects and tasks that include integrating CI pipelines with secret managers, securing build artifacts, and accessing the GitLab API from a CI job. Pipeline Security engineering regularly interfaces with broader development teams in supporting initiatives to ensure software supply chain security.

As part of the Govern stage (https://about.gitlab.com/direction/govern/) , you will work with us to provide the capabilities necessary to meet security and compliance requirements for organizations at any scale. Thanks to our Transparency (https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/values/#transparency) value, you can see what we are working on on our Team (https://handbook.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/development/sec/govern/pipeline-security/) page.
