About LaunchDarkly Engineering

LaunchDarkly helps engineering organizations ship software and AI with speed , safety, and control. Our platform gives teams the confidence to release gradually, target experiences to the right audiences, learn through experimentation, understand what is happening in production, and respond quickly when risk appears. Our engineers build the systems, services, SDKs, developer tools, cloud infrastructure, and product experiences that make this possible. The work spans high-scale distributed systems, reliable data and event pipelines, intuitive enterprise workflows, and AI-powered capabilities that help teams manage the next generation of software delivery. LaunchDarkly’s SDKs are used in systems that perform trillions of feature flag evaluations each day, giving our engineering work a direct connection to the reliability and customer experience of software around the world. As the company grows, we are expanding beyond traditional feature management into experimentation, observability, and AgentControl—helping customers control more of the software and AI lifecycle. That creates an unusually broad set of technical challenges, visible customer impact, and room for engineers to shape what comes next. We believe in the power of teams. We work with humility, openness, curiosity, and care; we value clear communication, thoughtful technical judgment, inclusive collaboration, and a strong sense of ownership. We encourage people to apply even when they do not meet every qualification listed below. We are interested in the experience, perspective, and potential you would bring to the role.

About the role

The specific technical emphasis will vary by opportunity. Some teams may prioritize backend depth, data-intensive applications, enterprise workflows, observability, experimentation, or AI-powered product experiences. Senior scope at LaunchDarkly is defined by sustained impact, technical judgment, and influence beyond an individual feature—not by years of experience alone. As a Senior Full Stack Engineer at LaunchDarkly, you will lead the design and delivery of customer-facing product experiences and the backend systems that support them. You will work across the application boundary from intuitive, accessible interfaces to reliable services, APIs, and data flows—and help shape how customers understand, configure, and control software delivery. This is an opportunity to own complex, high-impact work where engineering judgment is visible. You will partner closely with Product, Design, Data, Staff Engineers, Engineering Managers, and adjacent teams to make complex capabilities feel clear and useful, while ensuring that the underlying systems are scalable, secure, observable, and dependable. Your technical decisions will influence both the product experience and the systems that enable it.
