We're looking for a backend engineer to help us build features, design and implement API methods, and improve the performance and reliability of our systems. We're looking for someone who knows what it takes to deliver value to customers and takes pride in the quality of their work.

- Strong communication skills, a positive attitude, and empathy
- You write code that can be easily understood by others, with an eye towards maintainability
- You hold yourself and others to a high bar when working with production systems

About LaunchDarkly:
LaunchDarkly is a Feature Management Platform that serves over 20 billion feature flags daily to help software teams build better software, faster. Feature flagging is an industry standard methodology of wrapping a new or risky section of code or infrastructure change with a flag. Each flag can easily be turned off independent of code deployment (aka ”dark launching”). LaunchDarkly has SDKs for all major web and mobile platforms. Our team culture is dynamic, friendly, and supportive.
We are an equal opportunity employer and we strongly believe that the best teams reflect gender and ethnic diversity. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
