Senior Developer for Managed Service for GitLab

The SourceCraft project team creates services that enable Yandex Cloud customers to engage in collaborative software development. The SourceCraft platform solves problems of code storage and versioning, offers tools for code review, code build, artifact storage, cloud deployment, testing, and application documentation.

Yandex both develops its own tooling to solve these tasks and allows the use of existing ones: GitLab.

Yandex Managed Service for GitLab is a service for deploying and automatically maintaining GitLab instances in the Yandex Cloud infrastructure. The service allows creating a GitLab instance in the cloud and is responsible for its uninterrupted operation.

We are making dev tools more convenient — join us!

In our team, you will be able to:

• Successfully apply technical skills in integration and architecture of integration services
• Keep your current tech stack or switch to a modern language — Kotlin
• Ensure the uninterrupted operation of a live service with a large number of clients
• Gain experience working with a powerful modern cloud — Yandex Cloud, studying its tools and best practices

What tasks await you

Work out technical integrations with GitLab and automate them in the application code For example, integrating GitLab with S3 from Yandex Cloud for artifact storage, connecting GitLab Runner on cloud resources, integrating GitLab Pages.

Work out and improve the service architecture When a fresh security upgrade version of GitLab is released, the process of updating all customer instances takes a long time. It is necessary to technically optimize the upgrade so that the reliability of the process is not compromised, and to complete it within the timeframe of the longest single upgrade.

Investigate service failures and eliminate their causes Example task: daily backups of several customer instances ended with an error. It is necessary to find out what caused the functionality failure and how to fix it.

We expect you

• Love to delve into complex integration tasks and find ways to do it elegantly and conveniently
• Want to program in Kotlin (ready to learn if you have no experience)
