Company mission
To empower all teams to deliver and control their software.
Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, preferably across both frontend and backend features
- Proficiency across the full stack: preferably comfortable in TypeScript/React on the frontend and Go (or similar) on the backend
- Strong product instincts: you care about user experience and can translate ambiguous requirements into clean, well-scoped solutions
- Collaborative and communicative: you work well across teams and functions, and you're comfortable navigating ambiguity
- Experience building or deeply using monitoring, alerting, or observability systems is a plus
- Familiarity with feature flagging, release automation, or developer tooling is a plus
What the job involves
- LaunchDarkly is looking for a Full Stack Engineer to join the Guardian Monitoring team. Guardian is the safety layer for software delivery: it monitors releases in real time, detects regressions, and triggers automatic rollbacks when things go wrong
- Our goal is to make releases safe enough that teams can ship continuously without manual oversight
- On the Monitoring team, you'll build the detection and response systems at the heart of that loop. Your work will span backend services that analyze telemetry data and frontend interfaces that give teams confidence in what's happening with their releases
- Design, build, and ship full-stack features across Guardian's monitoring platform (UI, APIs, backend services, and data pipelines)
- Own features end-to-end: from prototype and API design through production rollout and iteration
- Collaborate cross-functionally with product managers, designers, and engineers across Guardian and adjacent teams
- Participate in architecture discussions and technical design reviews, contributing to sound trade-off decisions
- Write well-tested, maintainable code and promote best practices for quality, observability, and reliability
- Mentor teammates and contribute to a collaborative, high-trust engineering culture
- Participate in on-call rotations and take ownership of production reliability for your features
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.
Demonstrating its value to businesses, the platform is used by the likes of IBM, Intuit and Atlassian. Recently it has seemed to focus on further scaling its growth as it develops towards being a leading business in the feature management space.
