Your opportunity
If you love to build distributed systems at scale and are a technical leader who is
passionate about keeping your hands on the keyboard, read on. We are looking for
engineers who have spent years building and supporting large distributed systems that
are innovative, scalable, reliable and performant.

It is an exciting time to be working in the Observability space! DevOps, containerization,
cloud-native computing, and new open-source standards like Open Telemetry are driving
explosive growth in telemetry data. New Relic is a leader in this space that has been
growing rapidly to meet this demand and to provide our customers with a world class
solution for surfacing deep, correlated, and real-time insights across any telemetry
source at enterprise volume, from anywhere. We ingest petabytes of data
per day, billions of data points per minute, serve billions of web requests per day, and
process millions of messages per second.

What you'll do
Principal engineers play a critical role in our engineering organization. We believe in
small teams aligned around functionally related services. This engineer will assist teams
when they need extra capacity or are tackling particularly important or ambitious problems.
  • Engage, embed, and go deep with teams on high impact projects.
  • Do run-ahead research and build prototypes for new features or to optimize existing systems for performance or cost.
  • Coach and mentor the teams you collaborate with and develop balanced, maintainable solutions that leave teams healthier than before.
  • Contribute to cross-team initiatives and promote standards and information sharing between teams.
What your playground will look like:
  • 100s of predominantly Java services with one of the largest Kafka backbones in the world.
  • A multi-cloud (Kubernetes) environment spanning thousands of nodes and accepting 10s of billions of HTTP requests a day.
  • Our massively scalable, purpose-built telemetry database, NRDB.


This role requires
If you are considering this role you are likely a seasoned and esteemed contributor in
your past endeavors and are looking for a new challenge.

  • 10+ years of professional software development experience
  • Proven track record of senior technical leadership
  • Knowledge of fundamentals required to build and operate highly-available software and data pipelines at scale including data structures, architectural patterns, distributed systems and supporting toolchains.
  • Strong interpersonal skills, including the ability to seek consensus, provide technical leadership, lead by example, exhibiting patience and determination.
  • Ability to rapidly come up to speed on new teams and services to make decisive organizational and technical impact.


Bonus points if you have
The ideal candidate will have expertise in one or more of the below areas and is
energized by building expertise in some of the others.
  • Experience with Java, Go or React.
  • Experience with observability tools and platforms (such as ours)
  • Experience with Kubernetes and containerization
  • Exposure to cloud architectures (AWS, Azure, GCP)

Fostering a diverse, welcoming and inclusive environment is important to us. We work hard to make everyone feel comfortable bringing their best, most authentic selves to work every day. We celebrate our talented Relics’ different backgrounds and abilities, and recognize the different paths they took to reach us – including nontraditional ones. Their experiences and perspectives inspire us to make our products and company the best they can be. We’re looking for people who feel connected to our mission and values, not just candidates who check off all the boxes.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We prioritize job seekers as our customers, unlike bigger job sites, by charging a small fee to provide them with curated access to the best companies and up-to-date jobs. This focus allows us to deliver a more personalized and effective job search experience.
  • Salaries for the engineering jobs on our site range from $100K-$200K. On average, senior engineer positions on our EchoJobs are about $160K.
  • The EchoJobs positions have been sourced and vetted from the top companies to work for in the US as a software engineer, including LinkedIn and other reputable job sites. We also have syndicated jobs from companies that have just raised funding, as well as those that have great unique products and culture. From all of these sources, our founder, Morgan, has also resourced the company's authenticity in terms of their website, public appearance, and more.
  • Yes, our users asked us for just this, so now our search filters allow you to search for your top jobs via location, as well as by onsite, remote, or both. Approximately 30% of our jobs are remote, so you’ve got the best options for you!
  • We have not yet implemented this option, but are considering doing so in the future. For the moment, you would need to cancel your subscription, and resubscribe when you wanted to come back.
  • We add new jobs to EchoJobs every day! We scan our sources for the newest jobs, verify them, and post them to EchoJobs within minutes. We add about 2,000-3,000 new jobs for you each day!
  • From starting your job search to getting hired, the entire job search process can take us software engineers anywhere between 3-6 months. However, at EchoJobs, we’re striving to shorten this duration by finding the best, newest jobs for you, so you can do less job searching, and more applying.
  • We’d recommend checking EchoJobs daily, as we add new jobs to the site each day. Additionally, if you got a chance to read our previous email on “what makes EchoJobs different from any other job search tools,” we also recommended that you set a job alert based on your job filters, so if you get emails on those new jobs, you could be checking more than once per day.
  • If you decide to continue with us after the 1-month trial, we definitely recommend this, as we all know it usually takes 3-6 months to find a quality job as a software engineer these days. So to best support you, we just adjusted our membership options at EchoJobs to monthly, 3 months, or 12 months (this option is more for passive job seekers looking a little bit for the future if they want to come back to work or make a job switch potentially. This lets you see what’s out there in case an even better fit job becomes available.)
  • EchoJobs is truly the only job site of its kind. We want to be THE spot for you to find the best job for you, and haven’t encountered any other company doing this. Other job sites are in niches besides software engineering or focus on a small portion of engineering jobs (like a specific coding language). In the words of Morgan, our founder, “I think what makes EchoJobs different is the amount of jobs, frequency that we add new jobs (we add 2,000-3,000 new jobs daily!), and the powerful search engines to find exactly the job you want more easily and efficiently. We can provide you with the most jobs that are vetted by us, we’ll continually find more new jobs for you, and we make it easier for you to apply and get hired.
