An overview of this role
We are seeking an Intermediate Frontend Engineer to join our AI Powered:Workflow Catalog team. The Workflow Catalog team forwards GitLab's AI initiatives, building the platform that will allow users to discover, browse, and deploy AI agents, workflows, and tools. We operate with a startup mentality within GitLab; moving fast, failing fast, and iterating rapidly to compete in the AI landscape.

- 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
- Build responsive and accessible components that deliver an excellent user experience across devices and user needs
- Consistently ship features and improvements with minimal guidance and support from other team members. Collaborate with the team on larger projects
- Work closely with UX designers to implement intuitive and effective user interfaces
- 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
- Participate actively in code reviews and provide constructive feedback to enhance code quality
- Help improve our test coverage and system reliability through thoughtful testing practices
- Contribute to troubleshooting and resolving technical issues as they arise
- Support technical documentation and internal knowledge sharing initiatives
- Professional experience with Vue.js or another modern JavaScript web framework (React, Angular, etc.), and GraphQL for API integration and data management
- Solid understanding of semantic HTML, CSS, and core JavaScript concepts
- Experience writing automated tests (Jest, Karma, Jasmine, Mocha, AVA, tape) including frontend unit and acceptance tests
- Experience using Git in a professional/workplace environment and familiarity with code review processes
- Understanding of responsive design principles and accessibility standards
- Solid understanding of core web and browser concepts (how browsers parse and construct web pages)
- Experience with performance optimization problems and demonstrated ability to diagnose and prevent these issues
- Proficiency in English, both written and verbal, sufficient for success in a remote and largely asynchronous work environment
- Effective communication skills with ability to regularly achieve consensus with peers and provide clear status updates
- Comfort working in a highly agile, iterative software development process
- Self-motivated and self-managing with strong organizational skills
- Demonstrated ability to work closely with other parts of the organization
- Ability to work collaboratively and independently in a remote environment
- Positive and solution-oriented mindset

- Experience with AI/ML products or strong interest in artificial intelligence applications
- Familiarity with Python (for collaboration with Workflow Service team)
- Experience with Ruby on Rails (GitLab's backend stack)
- Knowledge of design systems and component libraries
- Previous experience with catalog, marketplace, or discovery platform interfaces
- Understanding of microservice architectures and complex system integrations
- Experience working in startup environments or fast-moving product teams
- Computer science education or equivalent experience
