AN OVERVIEW OF THIS ROLE

As an Intermediate Frontend Engineer, your work within the Plan: Product Planning team will focus on building and improving high priority and scalable features for some of our largest customers which connect the work that engineering teams perform to higher level strategy, across multiple teams and in longer time horizons (quarters or years). The core features include Epics, Roadmaps and OKRs.
This includes getting to work on a platform (i.e. Work Items) that Product Planning is building as a foundation of GitLab to serve our users for years to come, and you’ll get to do that in collaboration with some of the best engineers out there, including Vue Framework Core team members.
