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.
As an Intermediate Frontend Engineer on the Workflow Catalog team, you'll help create the user interface for GitLab's AI discovery platform. You'll work with AI technologies while building intuitive experiences that make AI workflows accessible to both technical and non-technical users.

- Collaborate 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
- 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
What You'll Bring
- 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
- Ownership mentality. Take responsibility for your work and follow through–whether that’s shipping a feature, fixing a bug, or improving a test.
Nice-to-haves
- 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

Verify Employer Thoroughly
Research the company's identity thoroughly before applying. Check for a professional website with contacts, active social media, and LinkedIn profiles. Verify details across platforms and look for reviews on Glassdoor or Trustpilot to confirm legitimacy.
Never Pay to Get a Job
Legitimate employers never require payment for applications, training, background checks, or equipment. Always reject upfront payment requests or demands for bank details, even if they claim it's for purchasing necessary work gear on your behalf.
Safeguard Your Personal Information
Protect sensitive data like SSN, bank details, or ID copies. Share this only after accepting a formal, written job offer. Ensure it's submitted via a secure company system or portal, never through insecure channels like standard email attachments.
Scrutinize Communication & Interviews
Watch for communication red flags: poor grammar, generic emails (@gmail), vague details, or undue pressure. Be highly suspicious of interviews held only via text or chat apps; legitimate companies typically use video or phone calls.
Beware of Unrealistic Offers
If an offer's salary or benefits seem unrealistically high for the work involved, be cautious. Research standard pay for similar roles. Offers that appear 'too good to be true' are often scams designed to lure you into providing information or payment.
Insist on a Formal Contract
Always secure and review a formal, written job offer or employment contract before starting work or sharing final personal details. Ensure it clearly defines your role, compensation, key terms, and conditions to avoid misunderstandings or scams.
