New Relic Senior Site Reliability Engineer Portland, OR
The SRE team at New Relic consists of engineers who work directly within New Relic’s development teams providing operationally focused thinking and development within our products. If you love building highly available products and sharing your experience with others, you will enjoy helping us take our platform to the next level of excellence.
This is a challenging and exciting space. We are actively working to improve the high-availability characteristics of our platform at scale. Designing systems for transparency, with abundant logging, monitoring, and graphing, helps us easily determine the health of the system at any moment. It takes creativity and skill to weave diverse requirements into the functionality our customers have come to depend on.
Strong candidates will love many of the things that we love, such as: deploying new core functionality, automating processes, streamlining delivery, and building great tools that are a joy to use. Having a solid Linux development and operations background is very helpful.
We’re a very fast growing software company and we care about our culture. We value work/life balance, personal respect, code ownership by engineers, and experimentation. If all this sounds like your dream job, read on:
Responsibilities:
Work directly inside development teams with an eye towards developing for operational readiness.
Improve and build upon our automation tools for systems provisioning, monitoring, trending, and management.
Independently learn new technologies and master the New Relic platform so that you can provide ‘full stack’ diagnostics, when necessary, to help determine the root cause of internal problems.
Communicate effectively with fellow SREs and other engineering teams, and describe problems succinctly with sufficient detail that you can hand-off an ongoing problem to another team or a peer for completion.
Strategize with fellow SREs and other engineering teams on complex problems, and make decisions and recommendations about systems improvements after analyzing possible courses of conduct.
Perform periodic on-call duty as part of a global team maintaining the availability and performance of the New Relic site and APIs used by third-party services, as well as the various internal services and systems that these core interfaces depend on.
