Source-backed remote AI Engineer role at GitLab in Bangalore.

Job description

GitLab is hiring an AI Engineer in Bangalore to help build the foundation for its transformation into an AI-first company. Reporting to the Director of Enterprise AI, the role is a hands-on technical leadership position focused on internal AI-powered solutions and measurable business outcomes. The engineer begins with problem discovery: mapping how work moves across teams, tools and handoffs, identifying the real constraint and deciding whether AI is the appropriate intervention. From there, the role owns initiatives from stakeholder discovery and technical design through implementation, deployment and iteration. The initial focus spans Sales, Marketing and Customer Support, where AI can improve organizational flow, reduce bottlenecks, shorten lead times and increase throughput. The engineer integrates AI capabilities into existing systems using APIs, orchestration tools and modern AI platforms, including GitLab Duo Agent Platform where appropriate. The official posting also emphasizes success measurement through business and flow metrics, technical-direction work, reusable foundations and close collaboration with technical and non-technical stakeholders. GitLab describes a remote, asynchronous and values-driven environment in the Bangalore location. The position requires practical engineering judgment: use the simplest tool that solves the problem, avoid forcing AI where it is not useful, and combine new model capabilities with strong software fundamentals. Its impact is to turn real internal workflow constraints into dependable, measurable AI-enabled improvements.

Requirements

  • Strong software-engineering fundamentals.
  • Experience delivering production AI-powered solutions.
  • Ability to map workflows and validate business problems.
  • Experience with APIs, orchestration and AI platforms.
  • Ability to work across technical and non-technical functions.
  • Systems thinking and practical tool selection.
  • Ability to measure outcomes through business and flow metrics.
  • Ability to work remotely from Bangalore.
  • Strong communication and stakeholder-alignment skills.
