Description
Your opportunity
At New Relic, we provide our customers real-time insights, so they can innovate faster. Our software delivers insightful observability tools across different technologies and distributed systems, enabling software engineering teams to identify, understand, and tackle issues, analyze performance, and optimize their software and infrastructure.
The Streaming Ingest Platform group at New Relic is looking for an experienced Principal Software Architect to join our teams. We seek someone who is passionate about delivering software solutions that involve CDN edge, secure endpoints, high throughput streaming data ingest, highly available and reliability of 99.95% in a multi cloud environment which is designed to be secure, modular and fault-tolerant.
The role involves being highly engaged, leading the vision and strategy for the Streaming Ingest Platform, solving for the short term while planning for our next best platform, focusing on performance, security, global expansion, regional resilience, reliability, scalability, and cost efficiency.
We encourage asynchronous communication and independence, but highly value knowing what is more appropriate for synchronous communications and striking a balance between the two. We value building strong human relationships between team members during our ceremonies and value in person meet ups when possible.
