Your opportunity

At New Relic, we love making tools for software and ops engineers. Our software helps customers answer their most important questions by allowing them to visualize, explore, and reason about their ops, application, and customer data.

If you’re ready for this position, you’ll have a track record of leading high visibility, critical projects that span multiple teams. You’ll have driven architectural improvements, from concepts to POCs to production delivery, all with your customers’ experience and reliability top of mind.

You’ll have experience with high throughput, distributed systems based on Java and Kafka technologies (ideally).

We’re looking for a highly technical leader who will identify and drive system improvements, and who can develop technical solutions to complex customer problems, create the execution plan to deliver said solution, and do the hands on coding too.
