Engineer III/IV - Java

We’re looking for a Java Engineer with a DevOps and observability mindset to help enhance and modernize our monitoring ecosystem as we transition from Splunk to New Relic. You will play a key role in building high-performing Java applications with strong instrumentation, visibility, and automation integrated into our delivery pipelines.

This role requires hands-on experience in Java development, event-driven systems, and DevOps automation, with a focus on enabling deep system observability and performance insight.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain scalable backend services using Java and Spring Boot.
• Build and manage APIs and event-driven services using Kafka, RabbitMQ, or similar technologies.
• Implement application instrumentation for logs, metrics, and traces using New Relic and Splunk.
• Lead or support the migration of application telemetry, dashboards, and alerts from Splunk to New Relic.
• Collaborate with DevOps teams to embed monitoring and alerting into CI/CD pipelines.
• Automate observability configurations and deployments using Terraform, Python, or Bash.
• Develop dashboards, alerts, and service-level indicators to proactively monitor application health.
• Integrate monitoring and alerting with incident management tools such as PagerDuty, Opsgenie, or Slack.
• Deploy and manage Java workloads on AWS, Azure, or GCP.
• Ensure consistent logging and monitoring practices across all microservices.
• Participate in Agile or Kanban sprints, contributing to planning, reviews, and retrospectives.

Requirements

• 5–8/7-10 years of hands-on experience in Java (Java 8+) and Spring Boot development.
• Proven experience with Splunk (search queries, dashboards, alerts) and New Relic (APM, Infrastructure, NRQL).
• Strong understanding of observability pillars — logs, metrics, and traces.
• Experience with event-driven systems and messaging technologies like Kafka or RabbitMQ.
• Practical experience integrating observability into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or GitLab CI).
• Proficiency in scripting (Python, Bash, YAML) for automation and deployment workflows.
• Working knowledge of Terraform for infrastructure provisioning and configuration management.
• Experience deploying and monitoring applications on AWS, Azure, or GCP.
• Familiarity with Docker and Kubernetes for containerized and microservices environments.
• Experience with Git workflows (branching, merging, conflict resolution).
• Strong troubleshooting, debugging, and performance optimization skills.
• Exposure to incident management and SLO/SLI-based observability practices.
• (Nice to have) Prior involvement in Splunk to New Relic migration initiatives.
• (Nice to have) Knowledge of other observability tools such as Grafana, Prometheus, Datadog, or ELK stack.
