• As a Build engineer your main focus will be on omnibus-gitlab, the software that enables our users to install, upgrade, and use GitLab easily

• Work on improving various aspects of the omnibus-gitlab package (size, speed, reliability)

• Implement and bundle new services into the omnibus-gitlab package, for more details see our direction scope

• Work with the rest of the GitLab development team in supporting newly created features and resolving bugs on the omnibus-gitlab project side

• Work on making GitLab easier to install and configure for all users (through Chef cookbooks, Puppet modules, Ansible and Salt scripts)

• Improve package build processes

• Help community packaging projects (eg. native Debian, native Fedora and native Arch packages)

Workflow

• In cooperation with the Packaging team, issues to work on will be sorted per release cycle.

• Deciding priority of the issues can be found in the handbook under GitLab Workflow.
