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
As a Senior Software Engineer within the Container Fabric (CF) organization, you will be a key driver in evolving New Relic’s global internal platform. We are looking for an operations-heavy engineer with 5–8 years of relevant experience who can leverage open-source and custom tooling to orchestrate and maintain large-scale Kubernetes environments. You will play a "Captain" role—leading critical deliverables and mentoring junior engineers while maintaining the reliability of our global fleet.
What You'll Do
- Architectural Leadership: Drive the design and implementation of internal tools, specifically focusing on Kubernetes Operators and Controllers to automate resource management.
- Platform Orchestration: Lead complex, large-scale infrastructure shifts.
- Operational Excellence: Take ownership of incident response, author comprehensive retrospectives, and implement systemic hardening to prevent recurrence using advanced overcommit strategies.
This Role Requires
- Experience: 5–8 years in a DevOps, Site Reliability, or Infrastructure Engineering role.
- Kubernetes Mastery: Deep internals knowledge of Kubernetes and hands-on experience writing custom operators.
- Tooling Proficiency: Strong experience building production-grade tools and services, specifically for infrastructure automation.
- Operations-Heavy Mindset: A proven track record of Day 1/Day 2 operations for a large-scale Kubernetes fleet, handling high-severity incidents, and improving SLA compliance through automation.
- Cloud Infrastructure: Multi-cloud experience, including familiarity with cloud-native tools and managing OS migrations.
- Mentorship: Ability to lead projects as a "Captain," providing technical direction and unblocking team members across different time zones.
A Huge Plus (Bonus Points)
We don't expect you to know everything, but we would love it if you have experience with:
- Golang: A basic ability to read, navigate, and understand Golang code.
- Advanced Autoscaling: Experience implementing advanced autoscaling strategies and efficiency optimizations using tools like Karpenter.
- Infrastructure as Code & Control Planes: Hands-on experience with Terraform or Crossplane and Cluster API
- GitOps & CI/CD: Experience deploying and managing platform infrastructure via Argo CD.
- Cloud Providers: Strong working knowledge of managing resources within AWS and Azure environments
