I'd like to be able to add a watch task in gulp to all of the js files in the frontend/js and any other js files below
gulp.watch('./frontend/js/**/*.js', ['browserify']);
This will only target js files one folder deep
It's supposed to match any number of subdirectories:
**If a globstar is alone in a path portion, then it matches zero or more directories and subdirectories searching for matches. It does not crawl symlinked directories.

Do you have symlinked directories in there?
I don't think you'll get gulp to natively traverse your symlinked directories. I recommend you take a look at node.js fs.readdir recursive directory search and see if any of those solutions can be applied to your use case. Nothing in the question or answers specifically addresses symlinks, so I don't know if there's a solution for you there or not. If you can get an array of dereferenced pathnames using one of those solutions, then you can just pass the array to gulp.src().
