About the Job

LaunchDarkly is seeking a Full Stack Engineer to join the Guardian Monitoring team.

• Collaborate cross-functionally with product managers, designers, and engineers.
• Participate in architecture discussions and technical design reviews, making sound trade-off decisions.
• Write well-tested, maintainable code and promote best practices for quality, observability, and reliability.
• Mentor teammates and contribute to a collaborative, high-trust engineering culture.
• Participate in on-call rotations and take ownership of production reliability.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, preferably across both frontend and backend.
• Proficiency across the full stack: comfortable in TypeScript/React (frontend) and Go (or similar) (backend).
• Strong product instincts; ability to translate ambiguous requirements into clean, well-scoped solutions.
• Collaborative and communicative, with experience working across teams and functions.
• Experience building or deeply using monitoring, alerting, or observability systems is a plus.
• Familiarity with feature flagging, release automation, or developer tooling is a plus.
