SDK Software Engineer, AI

As an SDK Engineer on LaunchDarkly’s AI Configs team, you'll build the primary touchpoint that our customers interact with on a daily basis. You’ll drive the development of the SDK that enables customers to control, monitor, and optimize their GenAI functionality. You’ll primarily work in Python and Typescript, but you’ll also be exposed to other languages in LaunchDarkly’s stack.

When working on our SDKs, you’ll contribute to much more than thin client wrappers. Our SDKs are feature-rich agents with strong emphases on performance, concurrency, and resiliency – all while following idiomatic practices for their tech stack.

LaunchDarkly’s AI Configs team is on a mission to manage the complete software development lifecycle for GenAI features, from configuring to benchmarking to observing and beyond. This team has a huge opportunity ahead of it; we're growing fast and we need your help writing the next chapter in our story.
