Your Opportunity

At New Relic, we provide our customers real-time insights, so they can innovate faster. Our software delivers insightful observability tools across different technologies and distributed systems, enabling software engineering teams to identify, understand and solve issues, analyze performance, and maximise their software and infrastructure.

The Infrastructure Instrumentation organization is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our group in Europe. This organization develops and maintains instrumentation agents and integrations for a wide range of products, including Kubernetes, Cassandra, etc... All the development is open source, and we also impact the Open Source community.

In New Relic we work with some of the best engineers and seek some of the most sophisticated problems in the industry. We are a fast-growing software company that cares about our product and culture.

We encourage async communication and independence, but we also build strong human relationships between team members during our ceremonies or in-person gatherings when possible.

What You’ll Do

• Build, maintain, and scale Go clients/projects and their support tools.
• Contribute to Open Source projects and get the chance to grow your Open Source reputation and skills.
• Research new tools and services to understand complex scenarios and to also propose new features.
• Engage with the PM, EM, and peers to participate in architectural definitions with a high degree of innovation and creativity.
• Collaborate with team members to discuss and implement service improvements and new developments.
• Ship incrementally and often, helping the team to maintain a constant flow of feedback on its work.
• Work in an agile environment with a DevOps approach—teams build and maintain their own software, including participating in second layer support rotations.

Your Qualifications

Must-have:

• Strong engineering experience (Golang, Java, Python...) that can bring your past experience to bear on our roadmap.
• Interest in trying and learning new technologies.
• You're an autonomous, cross-functional, and agile person who thrives in a fast-paced environment focused on delivering high-quality software at a regular cadence.
• You're self-motivated, learn fast, keep accountable and demonstrate creative problem-solving skills.
• Collaborative work style that includes colleagues in important decisions and leads to shared code ownership.
• Good collaboration and communication skills.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience with Kubernetes.
• Experience developing monitoring products.
• Upstream contributions to relevant Open Source projects (e.g. Kubernetes, Prometheus, DBs, http servers, etc).
• Experience in technical mentorship and support for helping level-up the skills of colleagues on the team.

Please note that visa sponsorship is not available for this position.

We're looking for bold and passionate people to be a part of our mission to create more perfect software. We'd love to have you apply, even if you don't feel you meet every single requirement. What's most important to us is finding authentic and accountable people who feel connected to our mission and values, not just candidates who check off all the boxes.
