About the Job
LaunchDarkly empowers all teams to deliver and control the best software. As a Senior Infrastructure Engineer on the IDE team, you'll help build, automate, and improve the systems that keep LaunchDarkly running at scale. The platform serves over twenty trillion feature flags daily across a global AWS footprint. The IDE team owns the infrastructure layer — networking, compute, CI/CD, databases, observability — and seeks to make that layer increasingly self-service and automated. You'll write software that replaces manual processes, build tools that help other engineers move faster, and contribute to a culture where operational toil is treated as a bug to be fixed. All engineers participate in an on-call rotation.
Responsibilities
- Automate infrastructure provisioning, deployment, and operational workflows
- Build and improve internal tools and platforms that make other engineers more productive
- Manage and evolve AWS infrastructure using Terraform
- Participate in on-call rotations and turn incident patterns into permanent fixes
- Collaborate with product engineering teams to understand their infrastructure needs and reduce friction
- Identify repetitive operational work and replace it with software
Qualifications
- 8+ years of professional software engineering experience
- Familiarity with AWS
- You write code to solve problems — not just configuration, but actual software when the situation calls for it
- Curiosity about how things work and willingness to learn new tools quickly
- Commitment to working in a communicative and collaborative environment
- High bar when working with production systems
- Value code quality, automated testing, and engineering best practices
Nice to Have
- Experience with Terraform or similar Infrastructure-as-Code tools
- Experience with CI/CD systems (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, etc.)
- Familiarity with containers and Kubernetes
- Experience with observability tools like Datadog
