You’ll ship moderately sized features with minimal guidance, improve quality and performance, mentor other engineers, and help establish standards for a high-scale web environment. You’ll partner across product, design, backend, and frontend to make sound trade-offs, communicate clearly, and improve how the team delivers software. This is an opportunity to shape product experiences and frontend architecture for a global platform while helping define how modern frontend teams use agentic artificial intelligence. You’ll apply artificial intelligence-assisted engineering workflows thoughtfully and help create trustworthy user experiences that incorporate artificial intelligence responsibly in a remote-first, asynchronous organization. ### What you’ll do * Design and ship moderately sized frontend features and improvements with minimal guidance, making pragmatic architectural choices. * Turn ambiguous customer and product needs into clear technical plans and intuitive, accessible experiences. * Advocate for product quality, security, accessibility, performance, maintainability, and operational readiness throughout the development lifecycle. * Establish and improve practices for frontend architecture, styling, component design, testing, observability, maintainable code, and thoughtful use of artificial intelligence and agentic tools in production engineering work. * Mentor Associate and Intermediate Engineers, share knowledge, remove technical blockers, and improve team delivery practices. * Diagnose and prevent frontend performance and reliability issues at scale using observability and production signals, and participate in incident response or on-call responsibilities under your team’s ownership model. * Design or review independently buildable frontend surfaces and explicit contracts for data, events, authorization, feature flags, error handling, testing, and performance expectations. * Collaborate with product, design, backend, quality, security, and other teams to deliver cohesive customer outcomes. ### What you’ll bring * Experience applying frontend architecture, browser behavior, testing, accessibility, performance, and maintainability practices in a complex product or platform environment. * Experience designing or evolving modular frontend boundaries, independently buildable surfaces, component systems, or migration-safe architectures. * Experience making pragmatic trade-offs with product and design partners and turning complex requirements into clear user experiences. * The ability to lead through technical judgment, collaboration, and clear written communication rather than formal authority. * Experience mentoring engineers and improving team practices through code review, design review, documentation, or hands-on collaboration. * The ability to work effectively in a remote, asynchronous organization by managing priorities, creating clarity, and communicating decisions in writing. * Practical experience integrating artificial intelligence into a feature, workflow, or engineering process, or evaluating its reliability, security, privacy, and appropriate human oversight. * Helpful, but not required: experience with Vue, React, Angular, TypeScript, or JavaScript; PostgreSQL, Redis, or object storage; representational state transfer or GraphQL; Kubernetes, Google Kubernetes Engine, Docker, or Google Cloud Platform; Prometheus or Sentry; and Git, GitLab Runner, or GitLab continuous integration and continuous delivery. ### About the team We own core repository capabilities, from Git command-line operations to web-based code exploration. Our roadmap includes feature and platform development, improvements to existing capabilities, maintainability, accessibility, performance, and workflows for teams using AI-assisted development tools. ### How GitLab Supports Full-Time Employees * [Benefits to support your health, finances, and well-being](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/total-rewards/benefits/general-and-entity-benefits/) * [Flexible Paid Time Off ](https://handbook.gitlab.com/handbook/people-group/time-off-and-absence/time-off-types/#flexible-paid-time-off-pto) * [Team Member Resource Groups](https://handbook.gitlab.com/handbook/company/culture/inclusion/tmrg-tmag/) * [Equity Compensation & Employee Stock Purchase Plan](https://handbook.gitlab.com/handbook/total-rewards/stock-options/) * [Growth and Development Fund](https://handbook.gitlab.com/handbook/people-group/learning-and-development/growth-and-development/) * [Parental Leave](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/total-rewards/benefits/general-and-entity-benefits/#parental-leave) Please note that we welcome interest from candidates with varying levels of experience; many successful candidates do not meet every single requirement.
