Senior Frontend Engineer (Vue), Create: Repository Management

Job description

About this role

GitLab is the intelligent orchestration platform for DevSecOps. GitLab enables organizations to increase developer productivity, improve operational efficiency, reduce security and compliance risk, and accelerate digital transformation.

Responsibilities

• - Develop secure, well-tested, performant features and improvements using Vue.js and GraphQL.
• - Turn complex requirements and legacy constraints into clear solutions without compromising the reliability of this critical system.
• - Partner with product management, product design, and user experience team members to understand customer problems and build intuitive, responsive, and accessible interfaces.
• - Collaborate across functions and teams, both asynchronously and synchronously, involving domain experts when their input will improve the outcome.
• - Use artificial intelligence agents for well-scoped work when they can speed up delivery without sacrificing quality, and critically review their output.
• - Write maintainable code that follows GitLab's standards and advocate for those standards through code review.
• - Strengthen reliability by monitoring production health metrics, participating in Tier 2 on-call, troubleshooting incidents, performing root cause analysis, and improving observability and resiliency.
• - Share knowledge through code review, technical documentation, and everyday collaboration while learning from others.

Qualifications and requirements

• - Professional experience with Vue.js or another modern JavaScript web framework, such as React, Angular, or Ember, and experience using GraphQL for application programming interface integration and data management.
• - A solid understanding of semantic hypertext markup language, cascading style sheets, core JavaScript concepts, responsive design, accessibility standards, and frontend performance best practices.
• - Experience solving complex policy, permissions, or rules-based problems in web applications and making that complexity feel simple and usable.
• - Experience writing frontend unit and acceptance tests with tools such as Jest, Karma, Jasmine, Mocha, ava, or tape, and familiarity with the testing pyramid.
• - A track record of raising the bar on how your team or group uses artificial intelligence coding agents in a large, complex monorepo, including scoping tasks, reviewing generated code, and knowing when to take direct control, paired with a clear view of where these tools fall short and how to work around it.
• - Experience using Git in a professional environment and familiarity with collaborative code review processes.
• - Clear written and spoken English communication skills, including the ability to influence without authority and share useful status updates in a remote, asynchronous environment.
• - The ability to manage priorities independently, work through ambiguity, take ownership, and seek guidance for decisions that are difficult to reverse.
