You have a natural ability to build relationships with cross-functional team members and are a master of the written word, with excellent attention to detail. Startup Mentality:

You appreciate the balance of quantitative and qualitative analysis and you use that analysis to make informed recommendations. Bias for action:

Experience driving analyst relations at companies engaged in developer-centric solutions or SaaS products. Familiarity with feature management and feature flagging, with bonus points for experience in category creation. 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. 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.
