What the job involves
- We're currently looking for an intermediate-level Frontend Engineer for our Source Code FE team
- The Source Code FE team is focused on GitLab's suite of tools around Source Code Management
- We interface with Code Review team often as well as the wider Frontend teams in shared initiatives
- We work very closely with stable counterparts including the Source Code backend team, product management, product design, testing, security, UX research and technical writing
- The Source Code team is focused on building and supporting all use cases related to interacting with the code stored in each project repository
- Develop features and improvements to the GitLab product in a secure, well-tested, and performant way
- You’ll work with Product Management and other stakeholders (Backend, UX, etc.) to iterate on new features within the GitLab product
- 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 small features and 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 our product through improving the quality of the Frontend features both in your group and features that benefit other groups
- You’ll help identify areas of improvements in the code base, both specific to your group and outside your group (eg. component library) and help contribute to make it better
- You’ll learn, collaborate and teach other Frontend Engineers. Everyone can contribute something new to the team regardless of how long they’ve been in the industry
- You’ll fix prioritized issues from the issue tracker. These are typically bugs listed in a GitLab issue with an attached severity and priority label
- You’ll contribute to and follow our workflow process, alongside the rest of the Frontend Engineers and the GitLab community as a whole
- You’ll be joining a team of 2 frontend engineers located in EMEA and collaborate closely with 3 other frontend engineers in the sibling team of Create:Code Review Frontend (same manager)
- Here you will have the opportunity to work on one of the most impactful and used products at GitLab
- You’ll become an expert in high-traffic frontend development revolving around our Repository tooling as well as collaborate in cross-team features like Diffs and Approval Rules
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.
