We're looking for an engineering manager for our Warehouse Scale team. In this role, you'll lead the team that builds and operates the foundational data infrastructure powering LaunchDarkly's warehouse-native products — data export pipelines, warehouse health checks, and warehouse connection setup.
You'll bring a balance of people management and technical leadership as you drive the development of critical platform infrastructure and foster a high-performing, collaborative engineering culture. You'll partner closely with Product Management and cross-functional teams to deliver reliable, scalable systems that enterprise customers depend on.
Lead and develop a team of backend engineers, providing coaching, feedback, and career growth opportunities
Partner with PM and Design to scope, estimate, and sequence roadmap items, making scope tradeoffs in real time
Own the team's delivery of critical infrastructure — data export pipelines, DAG orchestration, warehouse health checks, and connection setup
Collaborate with adjacent teams (Warehouse Integrations, Experimentation, Data Platform) on shared infrastructure decisions and cross-team dependencies
Communicate roadmaps, risks, and progress clearly to engineering leadership and cross-functional stakeholders
Build team working norms that promote collaboration, reduce silos, and keep engineers engaged
Drive operational excellence — improve reliability, observability, and incident response for production data infrastructure
Participate in hiring to grow the team and raise the engineering bar
3+ years of experience in software engineering, with at least 2 years managing a team of backend or infrastructure engineers
Experience building or operating data infrastructure at scale — pipelines, orchestration frameworks, or data platform systems
Proven ability to partner with Product Management to translate business goals into engineering plans with reliable estimations
Strong communication skills, especially in distributed team environments with cross-timezone collaboration
Track record of coaching and developing engineers, including performance management, career growth planning, and technical mentorship
Familiarity with observability practices (metrics, tracing, alerting, structured logging) and comfort with production incident response
Experience with Go or comparable backend languages (Java, Python, Rust) is a plus
Familiarity with data warehouse platforms (Snowflake, Redshift, BigQuery, Databricks) and data pipeline tooling (Airflow, Prequel) is a plus
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.
