The Role

We are looking for a Software Engineer to join our GitKraken Desktop team. In this role, you will contribute to our flagship product and the world’s leading git client by implementing features, fixing bugs, and participating in code reviews. GitKraken Desktop has a rich and expanding feature set, providing opportunities to learn about cross-platform desktop application development, creating intuitive and powerful user interfaces for version control, integrating complex data from third-party sources such as GitHub, developing the product’s AI-powered capabilities, and more.

• Write code that is clear and maintainable (because this project is BIG).
• Collaborate with team members to find efficient and elegant solutions to technical challenges.
