About the role
New Relic builds an observability platform that gives engineering teams real-time insight into their software and infrastructure so they can find and fix problems fast. The Infra Data Pipeline team builds and runs the pipeline that brings infrastructure data — metadata, metrics and inventory from infrastructure agents and cloud integrations — into New Relic. As a Software Engineer 1, you will own services in production from your first months, building, deploying, monitoring and supporting them with Java, Go, Kafka, Kubernetes and AWS alongside engineers in India and Spain.
What you will do
- Run services in production: within your first months, deploy, monitor and support the services you own, and join the on-call rotation.
- Become the owner of a pipeline component: learn it end-to-end, present its architecture to the team, and be the first responder for its incidents and support requests.
- Deliver roadmap work end-to-end: take features from design through deployment and monitoring, and ship them to production every quarter.
- Keep the pipeline healthy: create the alerts and dashboards for your services, take part in incident response and retrospectives, and reduce security and technical debt on what you own.
- Share what you learn: write runbooks and design notes, and review your teammates' code.
Skills used in this role
What the employer is looking for
- A bachelor's degree in computer science or a related field, or equivalent practical software engineering experience.
- Ability to write, test and debug backend code in Java, Go or another object-oriented language, and willingness to work primarily in Java and Go.
- Hands-on experience shipping and running code in a real environment, through professional work, internships or substantial projects (for example: deploying it, monitoring it, fixing it when it breaks).
- Working knowledge of core software engineering practices: version control, automated testing, code review and debugging.
- Ability to communicate clearly in English, in writing and in meetings, with a team distributed across time zones.
Preferred qualifications
- Experience being on-call for, or monitoring, services you built.
- Experience with distributed systems or asynchronous messaging (for example Kafka or other message queues).
- Experience with Kubernetes and a cloud provider (AWS, GCP or Azure).
- Experience with data ingestion or real-time data pipelines.
- Experience with Redis, PostgreSQL, Cassandra or Elasticsearch.
- Contributions to open source projects.
Benefits and support
- Compensation and benefits are detailed in the job posting
