Senior Software Engineer - GoLang & Kubernetes Orchestration - (R0000335) Bangalore

Your opportunity

As a Senior Software Engineer within the Container Fabric (CF) organization, you will be a key driver in evolving New Relic's global internal platform. We are looking for an operations-heavy engineer with 5-7 years of experience who can bridge the gap between high-performance Go development and large-scale Kubernetes orchestration. You will play a "Captain" role, leading critical deliverables and mentoring junior engineers while maintaining the reliability of our global fleet.

What you'll do

• Architectural Leadership: Drive the design and implementation of internal tools using Golang, specifically focusing on Kubernetes Operators and Controllers to automate resource management.
• Platform Orchestration: Lead complex infrastructure shifts
• Operational Excellence: Take ownership of incident response, authoring comprehensive retrospectives and implementing systemic hardening to prevent recurrence using advanced overcommit strategies.

This role requires

• Experience: 5-7 years in a DevOps, Site Reliability, or Infrastructure Engineering role.
• Kubernetes Mastery: Deep internal knowledge of K8s primitives (Deployments, StatefulSets, Rollouts) and experience writing custom Kubernetes Operators.
• Golang Proficiency: Strong experience building production-grade tools and services in Go, specifically for infrastructure automation.
• Operations-Heavy Mindset: Proven track record of managing production environments, handling high-severity incidents, and improving SLA compliance through automation.
• Cloud Infrastructure: Hands-on experience with cloud-native scaling tools (e.g., Karpenter, Cluster API) and managing OS migrations (e.g., Flatcar).
• Mentorship: Ability to lead projects as a "Captain," providing technical direction and unblocking team members across different time zones.

Preferred Qualification

• CKA Certification: Certified Kubernetes Administrator is highly preferred.
• AI/ML Infrastructure: Experience with GPU Operator enablement or hosting Small Language Models (SLMs) is a significant plus.
• Tooling: Familiarity with Helm, GitOps (ArgoCD/Flux), and Grand Centra
