  • Planning and Scoping : Work closely with Engineering, Product, and Design leadership to define program scope, objectives, success metrics, and realistic delivery schedules.
  • Process Optimization : Implement, refine, and champion lightweight, effective program management best practices and development processes (e.g., agile methodologies, release management) to increase engineering efficiency and predictability.
  • Risk Management : Proactively identify, prioritize, and mitigate program risks and dependencies, ensuring alignment and clear accountability across all stakeholders.
  • Communication : Serve as the central communication hub, providing regular, clear, and concise status updates to executive leadership, engineering teams, and cross-functional partners.

  • Demonstrated experience managing large-scale, complex software engineering projects, particularly in a SaaS, cloud-native, or distributed systems environment.
  • Deep understanding of software development life cycles (SDLC) and program management methodologies (e.g., Agile, Scrum, Kanban).
  • Exceptional communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills, capable of influencing and negotiating with technical and non-technical stakeholders, including senior leadership.
  • Proven ability to establish and maintain strong relationships with engineering teams, serving as a trusted partner and advisor.
  • Proficiency with program and project management tools (e.g., Jira, Asana, Google Workspace).
  • Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience in the Feature Flagging, DevOps, CI / CD, or Developer Tools space is a plus.
  • A strong technical background, having previously worked as a software engineer or in a highly technical role.
  • Experience driving programs with compliance and regulatory requirements (e.g., SOC 2, ISO 27001).

  • About LaunchDarkly

    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.

    The LaunchDarkly platform was built to guide engineers to the next frontier of DevOps by :

  • Improving the velocity and stability of software releases, without the fear of end customer outages
  • Delivering targeted experiences by easily personalizing features to customer cohorts
  • Maximizing the business impact of every feature through the ability to experiment and optimize
  • Coordinating the release and optimization of software to provide consistent experiences across mobile platforms and device types
  • Improving the effectiveness and productivity of engineering teams, by providing insights into engineering cadence and stability
  • At LaunchDarkly, we believe in the power of teams. We're building a team that is humble, open, collaborative, respectful and kind. We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status. LD invites any applicant to review our written Affirmative Action Plan. To do so, contact People Ops at hr@launchdarkly.com.

    Do you need a disability accommodation? Fill out this accommodations request form and someone from our People Operations team will contact you for assistance.
