Software powers the world, and LaunchDarkly empowers teams to deliver and control it safely. As a Senior Backend Engineer on the Identity & Access Management team, you will own the systems every customer touches before they touch anything else: SAML and OAuth2 single sign-on, SCIM user and team provisioning, login and session management, multi-factor authentication, and the API key and token infrastructure that authenticates every request to our platform.

Responsibilities

  • Own LaunchDarkly’s authentication surface end to end — single sign-on, SCIM provisioning, login and session flows, multi-factor authentication, and API key and token authentication.
  • Build the enterprise identity capabilities our largest customers require: additional identity-provider integrations, support for multiple IdPs per account, and MFA enforcement by default.
  • Make the stack operable: SLOs, monitoring for certificate expiry and provisioning failures, actionable alerting, runbooks, and a sustainable on-call.
  • Partner with Product Security on threat modeling, audit logging, and compliance requirements including SOC 2 and FedRAMP.
  • Set the technical direction for identity at LaunchDarkly, and raise the bar for the engineers around you through design review and mentorship.
