Senior Backend Engineer, Experimentation

চাকরির বিবরণ

LaunchDarkly is seeking a Senior Backend Engineer to join our Experimentation team.

The Experimentation team is building one of the company’s most strategic product areas: a platform that helps leading engineering organizations move beyond intuition and make product decisions with real statistical confidence.

Sitting at the intersection of large-scale systems, data science, and user experience, the team is creating a best-in-class experimentation product that lets customers set up, manage, and analyze experiments with ease while still earning the trust of even the most rigorous data teams.

From warehouse-native analysis to experimentation workflows built on top of LaunchDarkly’s massive feature management scale, this team is tackling ambitious technical problems with visible customer impact and a clear opportunity to define the future of modern software experimentation.

দায়িত্ব

• Design, build, and operate scalable backend services and APIs that power LaunchDarkly’s Experimentation product.
• Own backend components across their lifecycle, including technical discovery, design, implementation, testing, deployment, monitoring, incident response, and continuous improvement.
• Build and evolve systems supporting experiment setup, event data ingestion, metric computation, results processing, and results presentation.
• Contribute to architectural decisions and technical proposals, making thoughtful trade-offs around scalability, reliability, performance, cost, and maintainability.
• Partner with product managers, designers, data scientists, and adjacent engineering teams to translate customer needs and product goals into reliable technical solutions.
• Collaborate with Data Platform, Warehouse Integrations, SDK, and other teams on shared data flows, services, and cross-team dependencies.
• Investigate complex production issues, identify root causes, and implement durable fixes.
• Improve observability, testing, deployment safety, operational processes, and the reliability of the systems you build.
• Participate in the team’s on-call rotation and take ownership of production systems in a you-build-it-you-run-it culture.
• Support teammates through thoughtful code reviews, design reviews, knowledge sharing, and informal mentorship.

যোগ্যতা

• 6+ years of professional software engineering experience, including significant experience building and operating backend services in production.
• Fluency using AI tools in software engineering workflows, including the judgment to direct, evaluate, and validate AI-generated output.
• Experience designing and delivering customer-facing systems that are scalable, reliable, observable, and maintainable.
• Strong programming experience in Go or a comparable backend language such as Python, Rust, or C++. Our team is using Go.
• Experience with distributed systems, event-driven architectures, data pipelines, APIs, data modeling, or data-intensive services.
• Familiarity with analytical, operational, or warehouse data stores such as ClickHouse, Postgres, Snowflake, Redshift, BigQuery, Databricks, or equivalent technologies.
• Experience diagnosing production issues and improving system reliability through metrics, logs, traces, alerting, and other observability practices.
• Experience working in a cloud environment and with infrastructure-as-code or equivalent deployment and operations tooling.
• Ability to take an ambiguous problem from discovery and scoping through design, implementation, launch, and ongoing operation.
• Clear, thoughtful communication and a collaborative approach to working with technical and non-technical partners.
