As a Senior Software Engineer on the Duo CLI functional team, part of the Developer Clients group within GitLab's AI Clients stage, you'll design and build tools that bring GitLab Duo into developers' daily terminal workflows. You'll shape AI-assisted experiences across GitLab Duo CLI and its supporting infrastructure, working mainly in TypeScript across the frontend and backend and making key architectural decisions about the CLI's future direction. You'll also have opportunities to contribute across Developer Clients, including our JetBrains plugin in Kotlin and our VS Code extension in TypeScript, when shared features, components, or cross-platform consistency call for it.
You'll provide technical leadership by breaking down complex problems, aligning on long-term direction, and maintaining a high bar for code quality, performance, and reliability. You'll collaborate closely with engineers across Developer Clients and the wider AI Clients stage, including the Duo Client SDK and Duo Chat groups, to make GitLab Duo fast, intuitive, and deeply integrated wherever developers work.
Some examples of our projects:
Our broader Developer Clients group includes the VS Code and JetBrains functional teams. We hold a weekly sync and encourage engineers to collaborate across team boundaries when it benefits the shared developer experience. We're fully remote and work largely asynchronously, partnering closely with Product, Design, and engineering teams across AI Clients to align on long-term architecture and deliver iterative improvements.
