Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. LaunchDarkly builds a software delivery platform that helps engineering teams release, control, and optimize software safely. The Senior Backend Engineer on the Billing team will modernize billing systems, building APIs and services for plans, pricing, entitlements, usage metering, invoicing, and integrations while ensuring high correctness and production reliability.
Responsibilities
• Design and build the systems that define our plans, pricing, entitlements, and limits, and expose them through our API
• Decompose billing from our monolith into services that are correct, testable, and independently deployable
• Own correctness end to end — usage metering, reconciliation, and the invoices and usage data customers see
• Operate what you build: SLOs, alerting, on-call, and fixing root causes rather than repeating mitigations
Skills
• 6+ years of professional software-engineering experience, with significant work on complex backend applications
• Experience decomposing a monolith
• A track record on systems where correctness is non-negotiable, and the habits that come with it: idempotency, reconciliation, reversible migrations, and safe cutovers
• Proficiency in at least one backend language (Go, Rust, Python, etc.) and familiarity with cloud infrastructure (AWS or equivalent), plus strong production ownership including on-call
• Billing, payments, or metering systems, or usage-based pricing
• Modeling entitlements, quotas, or multi-tenant limits
Benefits
• Restricted Stock Units (RSUs)
• Health insurance
• Vision insurance
• Dental insurance
• Mental health benefits
