• 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.
