The AlOPS Data Platform group at New Relic builds the platform and foundational services for secure, automated, reliable, and evaluation of streaming telemetry data. As an Engineering Manager leading the Alert Evaluation, you’ll work with engineers that are in charge of a critical part of our Full Stack Observability products, as well as our unified dashboarding and data exploration strategy!

- Lead and grow teams of software engineers that work on the performance and reliability of our streaming platform and systems
- Develop and iterate on processes and practices that keep your teams focused and executing efficiently
- Lead with a DevOps approach – we build and maintain our software, including taking turns being on-call, and tailoring our on-call alert policies to prevent pager-fatigue
- Ensure the success of Ingest and Streaming services and initiatives through the planning, design, and execution phases within and across teams and organizations
- Partner closely with product management, the group SRE leader, fellow engineering leaders, and key decision-makers to set up team priorities and roadmap
- Foster an inclusive environment where diverse perspectives thrive
This role requires
- 2+ years of experience leading high-performing operationally focused software engineering teams
- Prior experience in a technical leadership role leading multiple roadmaps/backlogs
- Understanding of operating distributed data systems at scale
- Experience leading distributed teams with a variety of Software Development Life Cycles
