The Role

The Vibe (The Role & Mindset)

• You're an AI Product Engineer: Your main mission is to figure out how developers actually use AI and ship features that solve their real problems not just build cool tech.
  
• Move Fast and Ship Smart: This is a 0-to-1 environment. You need to quickly adopt new AI tools (LLMs, frameworks) and turn ambiguous ideas into reliable, intelligent product features.
• AI as a Teammate: You're building the next generation of GitKraken by making it feel like an ultra-smart AI coding partner, using agentic workflows toautomate the tedious stuff (eliminate "toil").
  
• The Best Part? You use the tools you build every day, so you get instant feedback on your problem-solving.
  

Don't Self-Filter: We care about diversity and encourage everyone to applyif you're close, send it! We are committed to having an inclusive and authentic work environment where unique perspectives, skills, and backgrounds are celebrated. We work hard to foster diversity in our workplace and encourage people from all backgrounds to apply. Even if you don't meet 100% of the requirements, don't let self-filtering and imposter syndrome get in the way of a great fit. We would love to hear from you!

What You'll Do

• Design the AI Experience: Build and ship frontend features that integrate large language models (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) and agentic frameworks. The UI/UX needs to make complex AI interactions feel simple and trustworthy.
• Translate Chaos into Code: Take vague product needs and turn them into clear, actionable technical plans. This means asking the right questions early to unblock the path forward.
• Own the Frontend: Write super clean, high-performance TypeScript and React code. The codebase is huge, so readability and maintainability are key to shipping fast.
• Bridge the Gap: Work with backend teams to define and design the necessary APIs that power your smart, agentic workflows.
• Be the Quality Gate: Participate heavily in technical design, code reviews, and manual testing to ensure we're shipping high-quality, bug-free products every time.

What You'll Bring

• Frontend Powerhouse: Strong skills in TypeScript and React are a must.
• AI Fluent: You must be great at Prompt Engineering and have experience building/refining multi-step agentic workflows (making the AI do more than one thing at a time).
• Know the Tools: You need familiarity with LLM APIs and have a deep understanding of AI-assisted dev toolsyou know their strengths, weaknesses, and how they fail in real life.
• CS Fundamentals: A solid foundation in algorithms, data structures, and design patterns is essential for tackling complex product problems.
• AI orchestrator: You're a collaborator who ensures your AI solutions actually meet user needs and product goals.
• Stay Sharp: A commitment to keeping up with the very latest in generative AI tech.

Bonus Points

• Experience with building desktop apps (cross-platform).
• Prior work on developer tools, IDE extensions, or other productivity apps.
• Proof of your craft: open-source contributions or a killer personal project portfolio.
