As a Backend Engineer on the Chat Engine team within the AI Engineering organization, you will build and maintain the backend infrastructure for GitLab Duo Chat, the platform's conversational AI experience. You will work primarily in Python to develop agentic runtimes, including LangGraph flows, the Flow Registry, and the Duo Workflow Service. Additionally, you will integrate these capabilities into the GitLab Rails monolith using GraphQL APIs. The role requires proficiency in Python, Ruby on Rails, RSpec, and GraphQL, alongside experience with LangChain or similar orchestration frameworks.
