Senior Fullstack Engineer (TypeScript), AI Engineering: Editor Extensions

GitLab is the intelligent orchestration platform for DevSecOps, enabling organizations to increase developer productivity and improve operational efficiency. The Senior Fullstack Engineer will design and build tools for integrating GitLab Duo into developers' workflows, providing technical leadership and collaborating closely with other engineers to enhance multi-platform experiences.

Responsibilities:

• Lead the design and implementation of multi-platform editor extensions that bring GitLab Duo into developers' daily workflows, from discovery through rollout and iteration
• Design, build, and operate TypeScript and Node.js services for the GitLab Duo CLI, including rich interactive terminal experiences with strong reliability, observability, and performance
• Develop and enhance our JetBrains IDE plugin in Kotlin using the IntelliJ Platform SDK, guiding architectural decisions to keep it performant and maintainable
• Implement and evolve features in our GitLab Language Server to deliver consistent AI-assisted workflows across editors and platforms
• Build modern, accessible UI components using Vue 3, shadcn-style component libraries, and Tailwind-based theming for our editor experiences
• Shape our multi-platform architecture, identify and reduce technical debt, and drive improvements to scalability and developer experience
• Collaborate with product, design, and engineers across AI Engineering to align technical decisions with our broader multi-platform strategy and deliver iterative improvements
• Champion product quality, security, performance, and developer experience through high-quality reviews, mentorship, and shared standards across TypeScript and Kotlin codebases

Requirements:

• Strong proficiency with TypeScript across frontend and backend, including building and operating production Node.js services
• Experience building developer tooling, such as command-line applications and rich interactive terminal experiences
• Experience with IDE extension ecosystems (for example, JetBrains IDEs), including plugin architecture, lifecycle, and development workflows
• Working knowledge of Kotlin (or modern Java) and interest in contributing to Kotlin-based JetBrains plugins using the IntelliJ Platform SDK
• Understanding of the Language Server Protocol (LSP) and practical experience with language servers and editor integrations
• A track record of owning large technical problems end to end, making sound architectural trade-offs, and mentoring other engineers through code reviews and guidance
• Comfort working in a fully remote, largely asynchronous environment, with clear written and spoken English communication and alignment with GitLab's values and inclusive culture
