New Relic Data Services Engineer Portland, OR

New Relic is looking for a talented engineer to join our Data Services team, developing the high-performance, big data components that power New Relic’s world-class suite of software analytics products. If you’re someone who loves scale and wants to contribute to one of the largest and fastest growing big data platforms in the world we’d love to hear from you. If the idea of working on systems that process millions of messages per second and handle petabytes of data excites you then you may be exactly what we’re looking for.

Examples of what you might work on:

• Developing high-throughput Java services that process immense quantities of data with an emphasis on horizontal scalability and fault tolerance.

• Deploying and managing distributed systems technologies such as Cassandra and Kafka.

• Developing the custom database technologies that power New Relic’s advanced analytics querying capabilities.

• Improving our deployment and testing automation pipelines to ensure we can continue to move quickly and with confidence.

What working on this team is like

• We work with some of the smartest, nicest people you’ll meet. People who work here say the problems they work on are enormously challenging, and that the team culture is the most supportive they’ve seen.

• Our customers are our fellow engineers, so we have easy access to feedback. We experience the impact our work is having. We take pride in providing services with great availability and ease of use.

• New Relic is growing and adding new products to our platform at a steady rate. This means our services need to be accessible and easy to use. We’ll be connected to both new and established teams consuming our services.

• We own everything about our services from concept through to operations and support. We invest in keeping our operational overhead to a minimum while still being dependable and responsive to support needs.

• We ship incrementally and often. Once we merge code we normally want to ship it straight away.

• We own our process and we’re free to improve on it.
