  • Champion Operational Excellence: Implement DevOps methodologies where the team builds, maintains, and supports its own software, including managing second-layer support rotations and incident response.
  • Open Source Advocacy: Encourage and support team contributions to the Open Source community to solve sophisticated problems and build New Relic's engineering reputation.

This Role Requires

Engineering Experience: 8+ years of overall software engineering experience, with a strong background in large-scale distributed systems and high-cardinality data processing.

Leadership Track Record: 2+ years of experience directly managing and scaling engineering teams in a fast-paced, agile environment.

Domain Expertise: Deep understanding of Kubernetes architectures and familiarity with scaling applications in complex, multi-cloud containerized environments (EKS, AKS, GKE).
