• LaunchDarkly is seeking a Senior Backend Engineer to help build enterprise-scale capabilities that empower the world’s largest organizations to adopt feature management best practices. • This team is focused on enabling scalable, standardized release processes through automation, governance, and visibility—transforming how software is delivered at enterprise scale. • In this role, you’ll work closely with a cross-functional team to design and implement robust backend services in Go, develop APIs that power new automation and governance workflows, and shape internal frameworks that support enterprise adoption at scale. • You’ll solve complex technical challenges, many of which LaunchDarkly faces internally, and your work will directly impact both our organization and our largest customers.
