我们是一支致力于塑造可观测性未来的技术创新者和先驱者团队。在New Relic，我们构建了一个智能平台，使企业能够在以人工智能为核心的世界中蓬勃发展，为他们提供对其复杂系统的无与伦比的洞察力。随着我们全球业务的不断扩展，我们正在寻找充满热情的人才加入我们的使命。如果您准备好帮助世界一流的公司优化他们的数字应用，欢迎您探索在我们这里的职业发展机会！
**您的机会**
我们正在招聘一名高级软件工程师，加入New Relic数据平台团队，负责管理NRDB的数据摄入——这是New Relic专为遥测数据设计的存储系统，能够大规模地接收、存储和检索指标、事件、日志和追踪信息。我们的团队位于该流程的最前端，我们的工作直接处于每个到达New Relic客户的数据信号的关键路径上。
作为高级工程师，您将为团队设定技术方向：负责架构和设计决策，权衡各种艰难的取舍，并带领工程师团队解决高吞吐量分布式系统中的复杂问题。您将指导和培养身边的工程师，与产品和合作伙伴团队紧密协作，将路线图优先事项转化为技术方案，并通过为整个New Relic使用的标准和共享资源做出贡献，代表团队的技术观点。
我们运行着一系列由Kubernetes管理的服务，主要使用Java编写，Kafka作为服务间通信的骨干，采用基于单元的架构。因此，我们的团队解决了工程挑战，并处理着行业内罕见规模的数据。如果在每秒处理数百万条消息并处理PB级数据的复杂系统中工作令您感到兴奋，那么您可能是一个绝佳人选！
**您将负责**
- 在做出数据摄入系统架构决策时，权衡性能、可维护性和运营成本之间的取舍
- 从设计到正式发布，负责复杂、多工程师项目的范围定义、估算和交付
- 评估并引入新的工具、模式和技术，包括在逻辑上适用的情况下引入LLM辅助开发实践
- 保持亲自动手——与您领导的团队一起编写并部署生产代码
- 通过代码审查、技术反馈和职业指导来培养工程师
- 在技术风险和取舍方面进行沟通

We are a global team of innovators and pioneers dedicated to shaping the future of observability. At New Relic, we build an intelligent platform that empowers companies to thrive in an AI-first world by giving them unparalleled insight into their complex systems. As we continue to expand our global footprint, we're looking for passionate people to join our mission. If you're ready to help the world's best companies optimize their digital applications, we invite you to explore a career with us!
**Your opportunity**
We're hiring a Lead Software Engineer for our team within New Relic's Data Platform, responsible for managing ingest into NRDB—New Relic's purpose-built telemetry datastore that ingests, stores, and retrieves metrics, events, logs, and traces at massive scale. Our team sits at the front of that pipeline, putting our work directly in the critical path for every signal that reaches a New Relic customer.
As a Lead, you'll set technical direction for the team: owning architecture and design decisions, weighing the hard tradeoffs, and leading a team of engineers through resolving complex problems in high-throughput distributed systems. You'll coach and grow the engineers around you, work closely with product and partner teams to translate roadmap priorities into technical plans, and represent the team's technical point of view beyond it by contributing to standards and shared resources used throughout New Relic.
We operate a fleet of Kubernetes-managed services built primarily in Java, with Kafka as the backbone for inter-service communication and a cell-based architecture. In doing so, our team solves engineering challenges and works with data at a scale rarely matched in the industry. If the idea of working on complex systems that process millions of messages per second and handle petabytes of data excites you, then you may be an excellent fit!
**What you'll do**
- Weigh tradeoffs between performance, maintainability, and operational cost when making architecture calls for our ingest systems
- Scope, estimate, and own delivery of complex, multi-engineer projects from design to GA
- Evaluate and introduce new tools, patterns, and technologies for the team — including LLM-assisted development practices where they are a logical fit
- Stay hands-on — write and ship production code regularly alongside the team you lead
- Develop engineers through code review, technical feedback, and career mentorship
- Communicate technical risk and tradeoffs in terms stakeholders can act on
- Own the operational health of the systems you lead — CI/CD, observability, and incident response
- Spot gaps in our tools, documentation, or team coverage — and make sure they get closed
**This role requires**
- 7–10 years of professional software engineering experience, including 2+ years leading or acting as a technical lead for a team or major initiative
- Deep fluency in Java or a comparable OOP language, with the ability to ramp quickly across other languages and frameworks the team uses
- Experience running stateful distributed services in production under unpredictable load, including debugging complex failure states and captaining incident remediation efforts
- Experience leading architecture and design reviews for complex systems
- Hands-on experience with cloud infrastructure, CI/CD tooling (Argo CD or similar), event-driven architectures (Kafka or similar) and container orchestration (Kubernetes or similar)
- Experience with data modeling and query optimization against relational databases at scale
- A track record of mentoring engineers and giving feedback that improves a team's output, not just your own
- Strong written and verbal communication, including the ability to make a technical case to non-technical stakeholders
**Bonus points if you have**
- Infrastructure-as-code experience across multiple environments and cloud providers (Terraform, CloudFormation, or similar)
- Experience querying or reasoning about time-series or telemetry data (e.g., NRQL, PromQL, or similar)
- Experience with formal SRE practices — Managing SLOs and error budgets, capacity planning, or chaos/failure testing at scale
- Secure-by-default design experience (OWASP familiarity, secure coding practices, tools like Snyk/SonarQube)
- Contributions to open source projects
Please note that visa sponsorship is not available for this position.
