LaunchDarkly helps teams safely manage code and AI agents in production with feature flags, progressive delivery, automated rollback, and runtime control. Backed by Bessemer, Insight and 500 Global.
About the role
LaunchDarkly's Product Security team is hiring a Product Security Engineer II to strengthen how we secure the platform engineers build with every day. You'll bring depth in security fundamentals and program design as a member of a small, high-leverage team with strong engineering instincts.
What they're looking for
- 2 to 4 years of full-time experience in a security-focused role. AppSec, ProdSec, or cloud security preferred
- Comfortable reading and critiquing pull requests in a modern stack. You don't need to ship production services, but you should follow the code, ask sharp questions, and write small tools when it helps
- Experience participating in or leading threat modeling exercises. Familiar with at least one structured approach (STRIDE, attack trees, or equivalent)
- Working knowledge of cloud security posture. Exposure to a CNAPP is a strong plus
- Strong fundamentals: OWASP Top 10, authentication and authorization patterns, secrets management, common cloud misconfigurations
- Hands-on experience applying AI tooling to security or engineering work. You can point to specific examples where it changed how you operated

LaunchDarkly's Product Security team is hiring a Product Security Engineer II to strengthen how we secure the platform engineers build with every day. You'll bring depth in security fundamentals and program design as a member of a small, high-leverage team with strong engineering instincts.
LaunchDarkly is critical infrastructure. Our security team keeps it safe for the global systems that depend on us. You'll spend most of your time on threat modeling and cloud security posture, with rotating exposure to the rest of the ProdSec surface area. Your work will help developers move fast without sacrificing security, through automation, guidance, and the kind of partnership that makes the secure path the easy one.
You'll report to the Director of Security and work closely with software engineers, product managers, and other security engineers. We expect you to bring a sharp point of view on where AI can take work off the team's plate and make our coverage deeper.
Lead threat modeling engagements on the features and services where the risk warrants it.
Partner with the ProdSec lead to evolve the practice from on-request to repeatable, with clear criteria for when an engagement is worth...
