Senior Frontend Engineer (Vue.js) - Workflow Catalog
We are seeking a Senior 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 a Senior Frontend Engineer on the Workflow Catalog team, you'll help develop the user interface for GitLab's AI discovery platform and mentor other engineers on the team. You'll architect solutions using AI technologies while building intuitive experiences that make AI flows accessible to both technical and non-technical users. This is an opportunity to drive technical direction for AI tooling at GitLab amongst a team of experienced engineers.
Some key challenges you'll help solve include:
Creating an interactive node-based flow editor for creating and edition AI flows.
Creating reusable catalog components that work across different AI tool types without requiring users to understand complex YAML configurations
Leading the implementation of discovery and browsing experiences that compete with other AI platforms
Designing integration patterns with backend services including Workflow Service and AI Gateway
Balancing rapid prototyping with maintainable, scalable architecture while mentoring team members
What You'll Do
Lead the development of features and improvements to the GitLab product in a secure, well-tested, and performant way using Vue.js, React, and GraphQL
Drive technical decisions and architecture choices for frontend components and systems
Mentor intermediate and junior frontend engineers, providing technical guidance and career development support
Collaborate with Product Management, Backend, UX, and other stakeholders to define technical requirements and drive feature development
Establish and maintain internal standards for code style, maintainability, and best practices for high-scale web environments
Lead code review processes and ensure adherence to engineering best practices across the team
Design and build complex, responsive and accessible components that deliver excellent user experiences across devices and user needs
Independently own and deliver large, complex features with minimal oversight while providing guidance to other team members
Work closely with UX designers to translate complex requirements into intuitive and effective user interfaces
Lead technical discussions, knowledge sharing, and contribute to the growth of the entire Frontend Engineering organization
Drive improvements to test coverage, system reliability, and development processes
Lead troubleshooting efforts for complex technical issues and system integrations
Contribute to technical strategy, documentation, and internal knowledge sharing initiatives
Participate in technical interviews and help grow the engineering team
What You'll Bring
In depth experience with Vue.js, React or other modern JavaScript frameworks, with expertise in GraphQL for API integration and data management
Advanced understanding of semantic HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and modern web development practices
Proven experience architecting and building complex frontend applications at scale
Strong experience writing comprehensive automated tests (Jest, Karma, Jasmine, Mocha, AVA, tape) including frontend unit, integration, and end-to-end tests
Expert-level experience using Git in professional environments with deep understanding of code review processes and git workflows
Advanced understanding of responsive design principles, accessibility standards (WCAG), and cross-browser compatibility
Deep understanding of core web and browser concepts including performance optimization, rendering pipelines, and modern web APIs
Demonstrated expertise in performance optimization with ability to diagnose, prevent, and resolve complex performance issues
Experience with frontend build tools, CI/CD pipelines, and deployment processes
Proven leadership and mentoring experience with ability to guide technical decisions and develop other engineers
Excellent English communication skills with ability to lead technical discussions in a remote and asynchronous environment
Strong collaboration skills with demonstrated ability to work across teams and influence technical decisions
Experience working in highly agile, iterative software development processes with ability to balance speed and quality
Self-directed with excellent organizational and project management skills
Proven track record of working collaboratively across organizations and driving consensus on technical decisions
Strong remote work experience with ability to lead and collaborate effectively across time zones
Strategic thinking with ability to balance immediate needs with long-term technical vision
Strong ownership mentality with proven ability to drive projects from conception to delivery
Nice-to-haves
Experience with AI/ML products or strong interest in AI applications
Python familiarity (for Workflow Service collaboration)
Ruby on Rails experience (GitLab's backend)
Design systems and component libraries knowledge
Catalog, marketplace, or discovery platform experience
Microservice architectures and distributed systems understanding
Leadership experience in startup/fast-moving environments
Computer science degree or equivalent
Open source contributions
About the team
You'll lead within a team of 8-9 engineers across APAC and EMEA timezones, working closely with AI Foundations and the other AI teams.
We operate with:
2-week iterations with startup mentality
Unit-based collaboration (2-3 engineers per feature)
Cross-timezone weekly meetings
Technical mentorship and knowledge sharing
Our mission: Create GitLab's AI workflow discovery platform that scales across different AI tool types and establishes GitLab as a leader in AI workflow management.
As a Senior Frontend Engineer, you'll shape both technical architecture and user experience of GitLab's AI platform while mentoring engineers. This role offers substantial growth in AI space with significant technical leadership opportunities.
