Associate Software Engineer - Java (Distributed Systems and Databases)

New Relic

Portland, OR • Remote

$55 - $75.25/hr

Full-time

Posted 4 days ago

Job description

Your opportunity

The Telemetry Data Platform group at New Relic builds the foundation for all of our products: data ingest, storage, and query. As an engineer working on NRDB, you'll be contributing directly to the proprietary telemetry database technology at the core of our business.

We own our software from top to bottom and are directly responsible for its quality and reliability. Each member of the team shares our pager rotation and will occasionally be on-call to respond to system failures; so we prioritize work that keeps the lights on and the pager quiet, in addition to the work that powers all of our new products and streams of data.

If the idea of working on systems that process millions of messages per second and handle exabytes of data excites you, then you may be an excellent fit!

What you'll do

  • Develop new features with a focus on optimizing performance and efficiency
  • Collaborate with the team to implement scalable solutions and enhance application performance
  • Identifying and acting on opportunities to improve the reliability of our services

This role requires

  • 2+ years of professional experience in distributed SaaS software development.
  • Proficiency in Java programming, expertise with algorithms and data structures,  and building high-throughput software following best-practices.
  • Deeper understanding of distributed systems and their core challenges.
  • Experience using the command line to manage, investigate, and fix things when they're broken.
  • Experience with databases like MySQL, Postgres, DynamoDB, Redis, MongoDB, etc.
  • Familiarity with the public cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP)
  • Familiarity with Kubernetes or Docker.
  • An understanding of Computer Science fundamentals is very important.

 

Bonus points if you have

  • Familiarity with networks and load-balancing, and how to use them well in low-latency, high-throughput distributed systems.
  • Familiarity with modern observability & alerting patterns.
  • Familiarity with debugging/troubleshooting issues using tools such as Java Flight Recorder.
  • Experience working in distributed teams would also help. We are part of a group that is distributed across North America and Europe. An ability to work well asynchronously.

Please note that visa sponsorship is not available for this position.
