Role
Who you are
- Professional experience with Vue 2 or 3 and a state management library such as Vuex or VueApollo
- Professional experience with building frontend webapps with GraphQL
- Experience with writing automated tests with Jest (bonus for RSpec)
- A solid understanding of semantic HTML, CSS and core JavaScript concepts
- A solid understanding of core web and browser concepts (eg. how the browser parses and constructs a web page)
- Experience with Ruby and HAML is highly desirable (but not madatory)
- Demonstrated capacity to clearly and concisely communicate about complex technical, architectural, and/or organizational problems and propose thorough iterative solutions
- Experience with performance and optimization problems and a demonstrated ability to both diagnose and prevent these problems
- Comfort working in a highly agile, intensely iterative software development process
- Effective communication skills: Regularly achieve consensus with peers, and clear status updates
What the job involves
- As a Frontend Engineer, your work within the Plan stage will focus on building and improving high priority and scalable features for some of our largest customers which connect the work that engineering teams perform to higher level strategy, across multiple teams, and in longer time horizons (quarters or years)
- You’ll be contributing to a foundational GitLab platform (i.e. Work Items) that will power core features like Issues, Epics, Design Management, and OKRs for years to come
- Develop features and improvements to the GitLab product in a secure, well-tested, and performant way
- You’ll work with peers within the Plan Stage along with Engineering, Product, and UX counterparts to iterate on new features within your group and across the Plan stage
- Craft code that meets our internal standards for style, maintainability, and best practices for a high-scale web environment. Maintain and advocate for these standards through code review
- Consistently ship features iteratively and make improvements with minimal guidance and support from other team members. Collaborate with the team on larger projects
- You'll help improve the overall experience of the product by improving the quality of the Frontend we ship, within the Plan stage.
- You’ll help identify areas of improvements in the code base, both specific to your group and outside your group (eg. GitLab UI component library) and make contributions to it
- You’ll learn, collaborate, and get opportunities to mentor other Frontend Engineers across the engineering division. Everyone can contribute something new to the team regardless of how long they’ve been in the industry
- You’ll work deliverables as determined in the milestone plan (see how we plan milestones). These are typically features, bugs, technical debt cleanup, security fixes, and maintenance of owned feature areas
- You’ll contribute to and follow our workflow process, alongside the rest of the Frontend Engineers and the GitLab community as a whole
Our take
GitLab is an open-source collaboration platform for developers. It enables teams to build code quickly from anywhere without compromising on security or quality. GitLab already has an estimated 30M+ users from all over the world.
According to a 2021 GitLab report, 60% of developers can release code 2x faster with DevOps platforms that bring teams together and accelerate processes. It stands out by catering to programmers of all experiences. Gitlab's version control system helps streamline the process of creating, maintaining, and deploying code, whoever you are.
GitLab was in the right place to capitalise on the recent trend toward rapid digital transformation and remote working. This trend is expected to grow, and with it, GitLab's popularity. With its successful 2021 IPO and the patronage of major brands such as Nasdaq and Jaguar Land Rover, GitLab is expected to solidify its position as the go-to platform for development teams.
