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

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. LD invites any applicant to review our written Affirmative Action Plan. To do so, contact People Ops at hr@launchdarkly.com.

-
Have an active voice in shaping both technology and product decisions
Qualifications:
-
Experience building Javascript SDK
-
Full stack JavaScript experience.
-
Polyglot background— fluent in JavaScript, TypeScript, and at least one other language, and an ability to context switch quickly between languages
-
Strong computer science fundamentals
-
Experience building and maintaining client applications or libraries
-
A commitment to working in a communicative and collaborative environment
-
Self‐starter and problem solver, willing to solve difficult problems and work independently when necessary

-
Experience writing production-ready code with emphasis on quality and maintainability
-
Experience contributing to open-source software
