About the role

Software Engineer focusing on AI-powered developer experiences at GitKraken. Collaborating on features that integrate LLM functionalities into the product.

Responsibilities

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.

A solid foundation in computer science fundamentals — data structures, algorithms, and design patterns — that informs how you approach complex UI and data problems.
