About the role
- Build and ship AI-powered frontend features that make GitKraken feel like a genuine AI teammate for developers.
- Integrate LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, and others) and agentic frameworks into GitKraken's frontend, designing the UI/UX flows that make complex model interactions feel simple and trustworthy.
- Collaborate with backend and platform engineers to define developer-facing APIs that power agentic workflows, surfacing the right data at the right time in the GitKraken interface.
- Participate in the planning and technical design of new features, surfacing unanswered questions early and proposing alternatives that align with user goals and architectural constraints.
- Write clear, maintainable TypeScript and React code — because this codebase is large, evolving, and used by a global team that values readability as much as performance.
- Participate in code reviews, manual testing, and iterative feedback cycles to ensure every release meets the quality bar our users expect.
Requirements
- Strong programming skills in TypeScript and React
- Build and refine agentic workflows that reason across multiple steps and contexts

- An instinct for translating ambiguous product requirements into well-scoped technical plans, with a habit of asking the right questions before writing a line of code.
- A solid foundation in computer science fundamentals — data structures, algorithms, and design patterns — that informs how you approach complex UI and data problems.
- Collaborate across teams to ensure that AI outputs align with user needs and product goals
- Stay current with the latest generative AI developments and apply them to new use cases
