Overview

Join New Relic to architect, build, and run high-scale JVM-based microservices that ingest and analyze massive telemetry data for an observability platform. You will own services end-to-end, optimize for performance and reliability, and contribute to deep observability and incident response in a fast-growing, AI-first environment. You’ll work with cross-functional teams to deliver reliable customer outcomes and advance our mission to empower engineering teams with real-time insight. This role offers hands-on impact in a globally distributed, innovative culture.
