Senior Backend Engineer, Data Platform

About the Job: Software powers the world, and LaunchDarkly empowers teams to deliver and control it safely. As a Senior Backend Engineer on the Data Platform team, you will help build and operate the distributed data infrastructure that moves, stores, and serves large volumes of product data across LaunchDarkly. Our systems support customer-facing product capabilities across Experimentation, Metrics, Release Guardian, Observability, AgentControl, and other areas that depend on reliable data. You will work on streaming and batch processing systems, analytical data stores, warehouse export infrastructure, and the operational foundations needed to keep these systems reliable at scale. To support this work, we use technologies such as Kinesis, Airflow, Spark, Lambda, Flink, Athena, ClickHouse, Postgres, Elasticsearch, Glue/Iceberg/S3, Terraform, and Datadog. Exact tool match is less important than strong backend engineering experience, distributed systems judgment, and a track record of owning production systems. As part of our you-build-it-you-run-it culture, engineers support the systems they build in production, including through an on-call rotation. Responsibilities: Design, build, and operate distributed, data-intensive backend systems that power Data Platform capabilities across Experimentation, Metrics, Release Guardian, Observability, Agent Control, and other product areas...
