Senior Frontend Engineer

Senior Frontend Engineer at GitLab will design and ship moderately sized frontend features, turning ambiguous product needs into clear technical plans and intuitive, accessible experiences. The role focuses on improving quality, performance, and maintainability in a high‑scale web environment, mentoring junior engineers, and establishing best practices for architecture, styling, component design, testing, and observability. It also involves integrating artificial intelligence responsibly into engineering workflows and participating in incident response and on‑call duties as needed.

• 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.
