Software Engineer 1

We are looking for a Full Stack Software Engineer to join our product engineering organisation. In this role, you will help design, build, and scale features across our unified platform—from highly responsive React user interfaces down to core data processing backends built on Java and Python. This role is exceptional for an engineer looking to combine traditional full-stack development with cutting-edge AI-native engineering, specifically working with custom instrumentation agents and the emerging Model Context Protocol (MCP) ecosystem.

Responsibilities:

• End-to-End Ownership: Feature delivery from UI wireframes to backend implementation, database migrations, and production deployments.
• UI/UX Development: Build, maintain, and optimise elegant, data-dense web experiences and custom charts/dashboards using React, JavaScript, and HTML.
• Scalable Backend Services: Write high-quality, production-ready backend logic utilising Java (Spring Boot) and Python for processing heavy telemetry workloads.
• Database Management: Model data for high-throughput, low-latency systems across structured SQL and unstructured NoSQL databases.
• DevOps and Observability Culture: Actively leverage New Relic's own platform to monitor app health, troubleshoot production latency, and improve system reliability.

Requirements:

• Experience: 3 + years of professional software engineering experience in a collaborative, agile team environment.
• Front-End Craftsmanship: Strong proficiency in React, vanilla JavaScript, and HTML. Solid understanding of state management and modern CSS.
• Backend Skills: Deep hands-on experience in Java (JVM tuning and microservices framework experience preferred) combined with professional exposure to Python for scripts, data pipelines, or web services.
• Database Proficiency: Solid understanding of data modelling, schema design, and query optimisation (e. g., PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, or Redis).
• Software Hygiene: Strong mastery of Git workflows, unit/integration testing (e. g., JUnit, Jest, PyTest), and continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines.

Bonus Points (Added Advantages):

• Telemetry and Agent Development: Experience writing or customising monitoring agents, eBPF probes, or open-source collection daemons (like OpenTelemetry).
• AI Tools and MCP Servers: Experience developing or connecting to Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, creating developer tools, or designing custom AI agent integrations to enhance engineering productivity.
• Distributed Systems: Familiarity with high-throughput messaging structures like Apache Kafka or AWS Kinesis.
