We are building an end-to-end AI agent workflow connecting Atlassian Rovo with GitLab Duo.
The goal is to create a working prototype that connects agile planning with software development through AI-powered automation, with a clearly defined Jira-to-GitLab integration point and a concept for scaling the solution further.
Atlassian Rovo supports the planning stage by collecting requirements, using knowledge from Jira and Confluence, and creating high-quality User Stories with Acceptance Criteria.
Once a User Story is ready, the workflow is handed over to GitLab Duo, where AI supports the software development process — from generating a technical specification to creating the initial code structure, tests, and Merge Request.
Your role * Design and implement AI-driven development and DevOps workflows * Develop the integration between Jira / Atlassian Rovo and GitLab * Build automation around GitLab repositories, branches, and Merge Requests * Enable the transformation of Jira User Stories into technical specifications * Automate Git branch and initial code structure creation * Support AI-assisted code and test generation * Automate Merge Request creation and preparation * Define and implement the technical handoff between Jira and GitLab * Develop automation and integration components using Python * Work with REST APIs, webhooks, and system integrations * Integrate AI capabilities into existing software development and DevOps processes * Contribute to the design of a scalable solution beyond the initial prototype
What we’re looking for * Experience as a DevOps Engineer, Platform Engineer, DevOps Automation Engineer, Developer Experience Engineer, or in a similar technical role * Strong hands-on experience with GitLab, including CI/CD, repositories, branches, and Merge Requests * Strong understanding of CI/CD, Git workflows, and modern software development processes * Strong hands-on Python experience, particularly for automation and integrations * Experience with REST APIs, webhooks, and system integrations * Good understanding of Generative AI, LLMs, AI agents, and AI-driven automation * Experience with Jira, Confluence, or other Atlassian products * Ability to integrate automation and AI capabilities into existing technical workflows * Strong analytical and problem-solving skills * English — B2
Nice to have * Experience with GitLab Duo or similar AI coding/development assistants * Experience with Atlassian Rovo * Experience building AI agents or agentic workflows * Experience with MCP, LLM APIs, or AI automation * Experience integrating GitLab with external systems * Experience with TypeScript and/or Java * Knowledge of cloud platforms and infrastructure automation
What we offer * Fully remote work within the EU * Opportunity to work on an innovative GenAI + DevOps project * Hands-on work with GitLab Duo and Atlassian Rovo capabilities * Opportunity to build an end-to-end AI-driven software development workflow * Opportunity to contribute to a prototype with potential for further scaling
