At New Relic, we love making tools for software and ops
engineers and organizations. Our software helps customers answer their
most important questions by allowing them to visualize, explore, and
reason about their ops, application, and customer data. If this sounds
interesting to you, you should apply!
As Director of Engineering
for New Relic Infrastructure, you lead the engineering teams that build
our latest product, New Relic Infrastructure (NRI). NRI is used globally
by companies of all sizes to monitor their on-premise and cloud based
hosts, other infrastructure hardware, software, and services. The NRI
teams are working with data at a scale found at few companies using a
diverse tech stack (Go, Java, JS, Cassandra, Elasticsearch, Kafka,
Mesos/Marathon, many public cloud web services, and more). As a
product-first company, we pride ourselves on creating a delightful user
experience, and our UI team works closely with designers and product
managers every day as part of their craft.
In this role you’ll
drive the execution of our product initiatives, drive all engineering
aspects of product development, and guide day to day operations of the
New Relic Infrastructure Product (UX), Platform, On-Host Integrations,
Agents, and Cloud Integrations teams. You will be deeply involved in
product planning, project management, people management, and
website/service operations including on-call, support escalations, and
site reliability. You’ll help teams develop product ideas into real
features, grow future technical leaders, and scale our systems at ever
increasing rates. As a member of our Barcelona team you will also help
shape and grow our European development center. It’s a big job, but it’s
exciting, thrilling, and an awesome opportunity to work on the newest
product at New Relic.
The most important qualities we’re looking for include:
- Love of operations, DevOps, monitoring, data, and great product experiences.
- Team building. You are known for fabulous hiring, talent spotting, and employee growing.
- Helping teams ship. You have helped teams do full turnarounds, and you have turned good teams into great teams.
- Hands-on
technical management style, a willingness to look at some code and get
involved in the details, paired with excellent judgement.
- High EQ and leadership skills.
- You speak fluent English.
- You have the right to work in Spain (EEA,http://europa.eu/about-eu/countries/).
Technical product leadership skills:
- Product-fu.
You’ve developed products within a product-first company, and you have
business acumen and entrepreneurial instincts. You are equally
comfortable talking with Engineers, Designers, Product Managers, and
customers.
- Web apps. You’ve dealt with complex web apps at
scale. You know how to keep systems humming along, and users delighted
with your service.
- Services. You’ve written some services, and
your teams have had to keep critical Tier One services running 24x7.
On-call, no problem.
- Installable Software. You know the trust
that you hold when you build software that customers install on their
machines. Quality, Performance, Reliability, Security: you can't leave
one out.
- People. You will lead staff work related to the
business of engineering management. This includes authoring new
guidelines on engineering process, various work policy issues,
engineering recruitment, diversity/inclusion initiatives, agile/project
management practice, and other management changes.
As
a rare director role, we are seeking candidates with previous software
management experience. Great candidates will have already:
- Delivered software in a product-first software company.
- Hired and grown engineering managers, architects, and tech leads.
- Scaling experience, both technology and organizations.
