Responsibilities:

  • Build, improve, and operate backend services that power LaunchDarkly’s Flag Delivery systems.
  • Contribute to systems that support streaming and polling delivery models for LaunchDarkly SDKs.
  • Debug production issues, improve service reliability, and help the team maintain strong standards around latency, availability, observability, and operability.
  • Work with technologies and patterns common to modern distributed backend systems, including caching layers, network services, concurrency, failure handling, and cloud infrastructure.
  • Collaborate closely with partner teams including SDK, Platform, SRE, Security, and Enterprise to deliver improvements across the broader platform.
  • Participate in the on-call rotation and take ownership of the systems you help build.
  • Learn the existing architecture deeply and make pragmatic improvements that increase system clarity, performance, and maintainability.
  • Use AI as part of your engineering workflow with sound judgment, including knowing when to use it, how to direct it effectively, and how to verify or reject its output.
  • Reason clearly about code, architecture, and whole-system behavior even when AI is in the loop.

About You:

  • You are kind, coachable, and excited to learn from senior engineers.
  • You already use AI regularly in your engineering work and can explain how, when, and why
  • You enjoy understanding how real systems behave in production, not just how they are supposed to work on paper.
  • You are curious about scale, failure, caching, delivery, and operability.
  • You are energized by debugging, tradeoffs, and steadily improving systems over time.
  • You bring real backend or infrastructure ownership, not just feature implementation.
  • You care about writing software that is maintainable, observable, and dependable.

Qualifications:

  • 5+ years of backend software engineering experience.
  • Experience building or operating production backend systems.
  • Strong programming skills in Go, Java, Rust, or a similar backend language; today the team primarily uses Go, with some Rust in the broader environment.
  • Clear, existing AI usage in engineering work.
  • Ability to use AI without surrendering technical judgment.
  • Familiarity with distributed systems fundamentals such as caching, concurrency, failure modes, and reliability.
  • Experience debugging production issues and using observability to understand system behavior.
  • Ability to reason clearly about code, architecture, and system behavior.
  • Strong learning orientation and comfort working with senior engineers.
  • Strong collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to work well across engineering teams.
  • Willingness to participate in on-call and production support.
