Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of experience developing full stack web applications. Familiarity with React Native (or similar cross-platform frameworks such as Flutter or Xamarin) is a plus
- Familiarity with telemetry frameworks (OpenTelemetry, Firebase Performance Monitoring, Sentry, Datadog Mobile) and integrating observability features in mobile apps. Familiarity with the LaunchDarkly product and SDKs is a plus
- Strong experience developing performant mobile APIs, network optimizations, and efficient client-server data exchange techniques
- Experience utilizing AI tooling to enhance daily engineering efficiency
- Ability to design robust, scalable systems and deep familiarity with algorithms, data structures, and concurrency principles specific to mobile environments
- Strong collaboration, communication, and problem-solving skills; committed to continuous learning about emerging technologies and mobile best practices
What the job involves
- LaunchDarkly is seeking an experienced Full Stack Engineer to join our Observability team
- Our mission is to empower developers with best-in-class telemetry tools that enable monitoring, analysis, and debugging of mobile applications in real time
- You’ll build intuitive interfaces and robust instrumentation systems that redefine mobile observability, helping engineering teams safely deploy features and diagnose incidents faster
- You’ll develop sophisticated, user-friendly UIs that seamlessly visualize telemetry data (metrics, logs, traces) collected from mobile applications and lead development of the playback of user sessions captured by the mobile SDK
- You’ll build, maintain, and enhance our React Native (and similar) SDKs, ensuring efficient collection and transmission of telemetry data from mobile apps while working closely with OpenTelemetry standards to offer developers easy-to-integrate solutions
- Design and implement mobile telemetry SDKs, instrumentation libraries, and developer tools in React Native or similar frameworks
- Develop performant, scalable mobile applications for visualizing and interacting with real-time telemetry data
- Collaborate cross-functionally with UX designers, product managers, backend engineers, and native mobile developers to create cohesive, end-to-end observability experiences
- Prototype, build, and optimize APIs and mobile-specific data pipelines to handle high-volume data ingestion efficiently and reliably
- Participate actively in architecture planning, code reviews, and mentoring peers in mobile full-stack best practices
- Drive improvements in engineering standards, tooling, and mobile performance metrics across LaunchDarkly
Our take
Feature flags are a powerful software development tool, allowing teams to modify system behavior without changing code, therefore minimizing risk. If a business has a new feature they want to test, they can then roll it out to a small set of users before letting it go live. These companies can, for example, get quick feedback on the new feature and fix any bugs, or roll back any changes.
LaunchDarkly allows companies to run tests like this by activating the new code for only a small set of users prior to launch. Typically running these tests requires lots of developer time - a daunting and expensive prospect for most rapidly growing businesses - and can risk disruption to the user experience if testing takes place on the live product.
The platform is used by more than 1,500 customers, including the likes of IBM, Intuit and Atlassian. Signalling a change in strategy, the company shook up its management in 2023 and is now aiming to scale its already strong growth under the leadership of Dan Rogers, a product and marketing specialist with an impressive track record at Rubrik, AWS and Microsoft. It is now well poised to develop into a leading business in the feature management space.
