New Relic
Engineering Manager, Web UI
Portland, Oregon
Are you the rock-solid engineering manager who will lead a team delivering a product that delights data nerds everywhere?
You really do need to be a solid manager for this job. Our engineers are particularly smart, creative, hard-working, and capable collaborators. They need leadership, not supervision. Managers here are mentors who lead by example and coach their teams. They continually improve the work environment to bring out the best in everyone. Our managers work hard to stay invisible while delivering rapidly. If you're a command-and-control person, this is not the right place for you. If you've been a software engineer yourself, and you love helping other engineers excel, we might be the perfect place.
Management here is serious business. We have the best management mentoring program in any rapidly growing tech company—-perhaps the best, period. It is hard work to become a better manager. You'll do that work every day alongside your peers throughout the company. Working at New Relic, you'll have a rare opportunity to challenge yourself and propel your ability to lead to the next level, with the support and guidance of a talented and dedicated team.
Our product teams deliver the apps and services that give our technical customers visibility into their web applications. We turn mountains of monitoring data into clear visualizations so you can fix bugs and make operational decisions that impact the business. Our work is on the screens of every one of our 80,000 customers. You must get the agile/SaaS lifecycle, incremental delivery, and continuous deployment. Experience with Ruby, Rails, JavaScript, and Angular.js is helpful and an ability to learn is required. We operate the services we build, so expect to use your knowledge up and down the stack to create resilient, maintainable software.
You'll be a serious candidate if you have several years of experience as a sharp engineer working on production web software; a track record of delivering socially complex projects (must be able to demonstrate that or it's a "no-go"); and a couple of years or more serving in a management or lead role. You're someone who acts with drive and urgency, yet always takes the time to listen and to do the right thing. You are constantly seeking new ways to explain, coach, teach, and bring out the best in others.
Tell us about your management philosophy in your cover letter and give examples of your role in delivering software with a team. And, of course, we want to hear why you might be particularly interested in New Relic.
