Full Stack Engineer in Ottawa

• As a Fullstack Engineer on the Duo Client SDK team at Git Lab, you’ll build the shared foundation for every Git Lab Duo client
• Today, the logic that powers Duo in editors lives inside the Git Lab Language Server.

We’re extracting it into a true software development kit (SDK): a set of well-versioned Type Script packages that editor extensions, our web-based Duo Chat on Git Lab. com, and eventually external applications can use

• You’ll work in Type Script across frontend and backend systems.

You’ll design the SDK’s Node. js core and public application programming interface (API), and work in the clients that use it

• The work rewards care about interfaces, versioning, and backward compatibility as much as features because other engineers will depend on what you build
• You’ll have senior and staff engineers alongside you to help with design.

You’ll own the implementation of scoped packages and ship improvements with minimal guidance while collaborating with the team on larger architectural changes

• Develop secure, well-tested, and performant Type Script features that solve technical problems of moderate scope and complexity
• Ship small features and improvements with minimal guidance, writing tests with every merge request and contributing to code reviews and design discussions
• Extract and publish Type Script packages from the Git Lab Language Server, migrating consumers incrementally so no parallel implementation is left to drift
• Design durable public APIs with clear interfaces, semantic versioning, changelogs, and deprecation paths for external consumers
• Build isomorphic core packages that isolate platform-specific behavior in adapters at the edges
• Build and improve SDK client surfaces, including Vue 3 components in Duo Chat on the web, in collaboration with product, design, and engineering teams
• Strengthen credential handling across hosts, including bearer tokens, session cookies, and CSRF protection
• Optimize bundle size, startup cost, and dependency weight for browser consumers, and support a Tier 2 on-call rotation for urgent engineering issues

• Some examples of our projects

• The Duo Client SDK, extracting versioned, publishable packages from the Git Lab Language Server
• The Git Lab Language Server, rebuilt on top of the SDK as our polyglot surface
• Duo Chat on the web, as one of the SDK’s first consumers
• The Duo Client SDK team sits in Git Lab’s AI Clients stage and works closely with teams building Git Lab Duo experiences
• We collaborate across client surfaces to make thoughtful technical decisions as the platform evolves.

We work fully remotely and asynchronously across regions, in the open, following Git Lab’s values of transparency and open communication

• A security-minded development approach, including careful credential handling and performance optimization
• Experience with Vue 3 and the Composition API, or comparable component-based frontend experience and a willingness to learn Vue
• Self-motivation, strong organizational skills, and the judgment to ask for help when needed while thriving in a fully remote organization aligned with Git Lab’s values
• Ability to communicate clearly and concisely in writing about technical problems, propose iterative solutions, and work effectively in an agile environment
• Strong proficiency with Type Script across frontend and backend systems, including experience building and maintaining Node. js services
• Experience designing APIs that other people use, with the ability to explain what you’d do differently
• Understanding of the differences between running code in Node. js and in the browser, and how to write code that works in both
