Top Engineering Jobs in Toronto, ON

Lead cross-functional Developer Experience initiatives across six teams, contributing hands-on backend code in Ruby and Go. Improve testing reliability, test coverage, CI/CD pipelines, logging standards, and development environments. Partner with engineering, platform, product, and infrastructure teams to identify friction, remove systemic bottlenecks, shape the Developer Experience Platform strategy, and foster continuous engineering improvement.

Build and maintain the TypeScript-based Duo Client SDK, including Node.js core packages, public APIs, browser-compatible modules, Vue 3 client components, and platform adapters. Responsibilities include migrating consumers from the GitLab Language Server, managing versioning and deprecation paths, strengthening credential security, optimizing browser performance, writing tests, conducting code reviews, and participating in on-call support.

Design, build, and maintain People systems automations and integrations (Workato, Workday, Greenhouse, Slack) using production-quality code. Improve CI/CD, reliability, observability, and AI-driven automation (Claude, MCP). Serve as technical lead for People Technology, partner with stakeholders, and drive scalable, maintainable automation solutions.

Design, implement, and evolve complex backend features and architecture. Improve reliability, performance, and security at scale. Mentor engineers, participate in incident response, set backend standards, and integrate agentic AI into production workflows.

Design and implement backend and real-time features in the GitLab monolith for portfolio planning at scale. Optimize PostgreSQL performance, evolve APIs (GraphQL/REST), build capacity planning and work-item hierarchies, create proofs of concept, maintain automated tests, support safe rollouts with feature flags and observability, mentor contributors, and participate in on-call and production troubleshooting.

Lead a 0-to-1 pilot team to find and fix high-leverage SDLC friction, instrument system-level metrics (MRPM, pipeline success rate, latency), recruit and mentor four engineers, design and implement durable fixes, and drive adoption across engineering teams while reporting metric-driven outcomes to leadership.

Lead and grow a distributed Growth engineering team to run experiments, improve signup/onboarding/activation, and deliver measurable gains in discovery, conversion, engagement, and monetization. Hire, coach, and enable engineers; drive technical design, planning, and execution; partner with Product, Design, and Data; prioritize experiments and scale winning changes; and promote AI-native experimentation and strong cross-functional collaboration.

Maintain and improve reliability, scalability, and automation for user-facing production systems. Build infrastructure tooling, operate Kubernetes-based services, write IaC, participate in on-call and incident response, and advance observability and runbooks to reduce toil and improve platform reliability.

Manage a technical team focused on Git and Git-related infrastructure, balancing upstream open-source work with GitLab priorities. Drive long-horizon scalability, performance, and architectural projects while fostering technical rigor, ownership, mentoring, and strong asynchronous communication across distributed teams.

Design and build tooling, workflows, and guidance to make GitLab easier to deploy, validate, and operate across cloud-native, self-managed, and ephemeral environments. Shape deployment architecture, topology, scaling principles, and platform contracts while collaborating with application, infrastructure, and delivery teams.
