Frontend Engineer, Plan: Project Management

What you’ll do  

• 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.

What you’ll bring 

• 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
