Top Engineering Jobs in Montréal, QC

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.

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.

Build and maintain agentic workflow components and the platform requirements knowledge base to ensure features ship across GitLabs deployment targets. Implement integration surfaces (issues, MRs, design docs, CI/CD), collaborate with platform teams to translate expertise into structured requirements, and write tests, documentation, and evaluations for agentic-workflow behavior and assessment accuracy.

Design and build a unified analytics instrumentation platform using Go, Kubernetes, ClickHouse, and NATS. Improve data emission, transit, and quality for usage and billing, provide incident response and root cause analysis, collaborate with product and data teams to drive adoption, make tradeoffs for reliability and performance, and mentor engineers through reviews and documentation.
