About the Job:

LaunchDarkly is looking for an experienced Frontend Engineer to play a key role in building a new product line on the Release Monitoring team. You’ll be part of the Release Observability pillar, which is focused on making every release safer, faster, and more reliable. Our mission is to redefine how software is released: automating release processes, measuring the real-time impact of feature rollouts, and simplifying debugging when things go wrong. From automated release pipelines to metrics monitoring, error tracking, and fully automated rollbacks, our work ensures every code change is measured, and the entire release process from rollout to issue mitigation is managed for maximum efficiency and reliability.

As a member of the Release Monitoring team, you’ll be helping us harness the power of LaunchDarkly’s Observability SDKs that power our customers' applications, and aggregate all the data to measure user impact, and use them to make smart decisions about releases.

If you’re interested in building the systems that help software teams ship safely at scale, we’d love to work with you.

Responsibilities:

  • Collaborate seamlessly with cross-functional partners (product, design, data science, and engineering) to architect and advance our observability products. Leverage your broad experience to facilitate strategic discussions that align technical solutions with business goals, ensuring the delivery of scalable and effective features.

  • Drive comprehensive end-to-end feature development, taking full ownership from proof of concept through to delivery. Ensure that each feature provides robust observability into system behavior and customer usage patterns post-launch, applying a deep understanding of both technical and user experience considerations to optimize feature performance and reliability.

  • Proactively identify opportunities for product and user experience improvements, leveraging data insights and feedback to propose innovative, well-reasoned solutions. Lead the implementation of these enhancements, balancing user needs, business goals, and technical feasibility, ensuring each change drives meaningful improvements in engagement and performance.

  • Provide expert mentorship and support to teammates, guiding them through complex challenges and fostering a collaborative, high-performance environment. Your deep expertise will help accelerate their growth, elevate team standards, and enhance overall productivity and technical excellence.

  • Actively lead and contribute to code reviews, spec reviews, and architecture design, ensuring alignment with best practices, long-term scalability, and maintainability. Your experience will drive thorough and thoughtful evaluation of solutions, while providing constructive feedback that elevates the quality of the codebase.

  • Play a key role in advancing engineering standards, tooling, and processes across the technology organization. By identifying areas for improvement and implementing process innovations, you will shape a more efficient and effective development environment, empowering teams to deliver high-quality features faster.

  • Stay at the forefront of frontend development trends, experimentation, and data-driven product evolution, bringing deep expertise to suggest and implement forward-thinking improvements in tools, processes, and methodologies. Your proactive involvement in continuous learning and improvement will help ensure the team remains competitive and cutting-edge in its approach to building user-focused products.

Qualifications:

  • 5+ years of software development experience with a focus on frontend development, or equivalent demonstrable skills and experience.

  • Proficiency with modern JavaScript libraries and tooling, such as React.

  • Experience building data-focused products such as experimentation platforms, analytics dashboards, or large-scale data visualizations.

  • Proficient in designing, implementing, and maintaining RESTful APIs

  • Experience working directly with customers and understands how their work impacts business goals

  • Strong sense of ownership and accountability for delivering impactful solutions

  • Proven ability to work closely and collaborate with cross functional partners, like product and design

  • Demonstrated ability to write clean, well-documented, and testable code with a focus on maintainability and extensibility.

  • Strong understanding of observability and monitoring tools and practices.

  • Excellent communication, collaboration, and interpersonal skills.

  • A proactive and self-directed approach to work.

  • Experience in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.

  • Experience working with distributed teams.

About LaunchDarkly:

Modern software delivery was supposed to be the foundation for a thriving digital business but reality has proven otherwise. Slow, inefficient development cycles, costly outages, and fragmented customer experiences are preventing developers from building their best software. The LaunchDarkly platform helps developers innovate on new features faster while protecting them with a safety valve to instantly rewind when things go wrong. Developers can target product experiences to any customer segment and maximize the business impact of every feature. And by gradually rolling out new application components, they escape nightmare "big-bang" technology migrations.

The LaunchDarkly platform was built to guide engineers to the next frontier of DevOps by:

  • Improving the velocity and stability of software releases, without the fear of end customer outages
  • Delivering targeted experiences by easily personalizing features to customer cohorts
  • Maximizing the business impact of every feature through the ability to experiment and optimize
  • Coordinating the release and optimization of software to provide consistent experiences across mobile platforms and device types
  • Improving the effectiveness and productivity of engineering teams, by providing insights into engineering cadence and stability

LaunchDarkly is a Feature Management Platform that serves over 20 Trillion 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.

At LaunchDarkly, we believe in the power of teams. We're building a team that is humble, open, collaborative, respectful and kind. We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.

The feature management platform powering the best software products

Our vision is to create a world in which software releases are safe and unceremonious. LaunchDarkly gives product delivery teams the safeguards to move fast without breaking things. We do this through feature flags.

Square, AMC, Intuit, Adidas, NBC, and other top organizations rely on LaunchDarkly to deliver and control their software. They ship code continuously, release features to individual customers at times that work best for them, learn about system performance and user behavior through experimentation, forge partnerships between developers and business stakeholders, and provide value in increasing measure.

In a software-centered world, control is one of your greatest assets. Feature management gives you that control, and LaunchDarkly gives you feature management in its highest form.

Unlock your developers’ full potential

Innovate faster but with control

Teams are under pressure to iterate faster and release features more often. Feature flags enable safe continuous delivery, allowing teams to accelerate their deployments while reducing risk.

LaunchDarkly's feature management platform gives you granular control over what your users experience so you can safely test in production, quickly get valuable feedback from your users, and ship more in less time.

Empowered product development

LaunchDarkly enables software engineers and non-engineers to collaborate more effectively on releases by giving everyone the visibility that they need.

Developers can ship code whenever they want. Operations can verify that features work in production and disable buggy code with one click. And product managers can enable functionality for specific customers at the perfect time. LaunchDarkly empowers customer-facing teams to play a bigger role in delivering software while taking the burden off of engineering teams.

Modernize in less time and with fewer surprises

Cloud migrations demand considerable resources and carry a great deal of risk. LaunchDarkly feature flags allow you to progressively move all your systems in a controlled manner. Confidently shift your on-premises application infrastructure to the cloud, move your data to a new data warehouse, and migrate to a microservices architecture.

Our company values

These are the values that guide our business, our product development, and our brand. These values represent our north star: they are the ideals we strive for and they will be reflected in the decisions we make and the way we conduct ourselves as employees of the company.

Build together, win together.

Our mission drives us. We work together with kindness, integrity and transparency, knowing all of our contributions are interconnected. We have big goals, and we can only accomplish them together.

Create customer champions.

We pride ourselves on being a beloved solution for developers. We are trusted partners for our customers. We strive to make them heroes. We achieve our mission by balancing the needs of all customers. We succeed when they succeed.

Learn and grow.

It’s okay to say, “I don't know…yet” because growing is what makes us better. We take ownership for continual improvement in the company and ourselves. We stay curious and experiment.

Widen the circle.

We deliberately seek out a diversity of perspectives to get better results. We create space and opportunities for each other. We listen with humility and respect. When we don’t get it right, we acknowledge our impact regardless of our intent.

Work impactfully, work sustainably.

We respect our work, each other, and ourselves. We take accountability for doing our best work and we perform at our best when we take care of ourselves. We’re all human and we’re in this together for the journey, not the sprint.
