Sr. Backend Engineer - Warehouse Integrations

About the Job:

The Warehouse Integrations team at Launchdarkly builds the infrastructure that lets LaunchDarkly customers connect their enterprise data warehouses to unlock advanced capabilities like warehouse-native experimentation and real-time metrics.

As a Senior Backend Engineer, you'll be a key architect for scaling this platform and expanding our warehouse integrations footprint. You'll lead the design and implementation of core infrastructure - from integration connectors and data export pipelines to health checks and operational monitoring, while mentoring engineers and setting technical direction for the team.

This is a critical role in LaunchDarkly's strategy to meet customers where their data lives and enable data-driven feature experimentation at scale.

Responsibilities:

• Architect and design scalable warehouse integration infrastructure that enables LaunchDarkly to support multiple enterprise data warehouse platforms and add new integrations systematically.

• Build and own core backend services and APIs that power warehouse connectivity, including data export pipelines, health checks, authentication flows, and operational monitoring.

• Drive technical excellence by establishing design patterns, frameworks, and best practices for warehouse integrations that the team uses as they scale.

• Partner with cross-functional teams to define integration roadmaps, resolve technical blockers, and ensure warehouse-native features are delivered reliably.

• Lead technical design reviews and author tech specs for complex, cross-cutting integration work, and setting standards for implementation.

• Mentor and support backend engineers on the team through code reviews, design discussions, and regular guidance, fostering strong fundamentals and ownership mindset.

• Communicate effectively across technical and non-technical audiences, articulating complex system decisions, trade-offs, and progress to stakeholders, engineers, and peers.

• Improve reliability and operational maturity of warehouse integrations through observability, monitoring, load testing, and production incident response.

• Actively participate in on-call rotation to support production systems, diagnose issues in distributed environments, and implement lasting fixes.

Qualifications:

• 8+ years of professional backend software engineering experience, with a demonstrated track record of designing and shipping scalable, production-grade systems in complex domains

• Proven expertise in distributed systems design and implementation, including experience with topics such as consistency models, replication, consensus, and failure handling in large-scale environments

• Strong programming proficiency in Go, Java, Rust, or C++ with the ability to ramp up quickly on new technologies and languages

• Solid understanding of domain modeling
