Job Description

We are looking for an expert software engineer and technical leader to join our architecture team. Members of our group work closely with engineering teams, product managers, experience designers and leadership to turn business problems into technical solutions by providing architectural expertise, mentorship, and design guidance.

Being an Architect at New Relic

We expect our Architects to be leaders. They paint the vision of where we’re going and make sure that everyone has what they need to get there. We hire awesome engineers. If you can help them see into the future a bit, make decisions that support each-other, and avoid mistakes that will be expensive to fix later, then those amazing engineers can deliver incredible results.

What your playground will look like

  • A constantly evolving architecture, with hundreds of containerized services across 60+ agile teams.
  • A hybrid datacenter / cloud environment accepting over 50 billion HTTP requests a day from our customers and scanning more than 150 billion data points each minute.
  • Linux, Docker, Kafka, Thrift, Java, Kotlin, Ruby, Python, JavaScript, Go and that’s just the beginning of the technologies in our stack.

What You’ll Do

  • Collaborate with engineering leadership to build our technical strategy.
  • Steer teams toward technical decisions that fit well with the long term vision.
  • Help teams choose the right tools for the job at hand and use the chosen technologies effectively.
  • Identify and drive to resolution any cross-team and cross-org technical issues, working with other Architects and leaders as needed.
  • Communicate, communicate, communicate: Architects serve as the connective tissue between teams and organizations for all technical matters.

Your Qualifications

If you are ready for this job, you’ve spent years building high-availability, high-scale, production systems. You have had plenty of front-line experience in the past, and are now more interested in how complex systems work together than in optimizing that routine. You’ve made mistakes and learned from them, but you’ve also been a part of great successes.

Must-have:

  • Experience in technical leadership and guiding engineering teams
  • Experience building and operating high-scale distributed systems
  • Ability to collaborate and impact decisions at the organizational level
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills

Nice-to-have:

  • An advanced degree (MS or PhD) in a STEM field
  • Full stack knowledge of systems fundamentals

Qualified applicants may inquire about visa sponsorship. This position is to be filled as soon as possible.

We will ensure that individuals with disabilities are provided reasonable accommodation to participate in the job application or interview process, to perform essential job functions, and to receive other benefits and privileges of employment. Please contact us to request accommodation.

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.
