Manager, Software Engineering (Fullstack Team)

Bangalore, India10+ years

We are a global team of innovators and pioneers dedicated to shaping the future of observability. At New Relic, we build an intelligent platform that empowers companies to thrive in an AI-first world by giving them unparalleled insight into their complex systems. As we continue to expand our global footprint, we're looking for passionate people to join our mission. If you're ready to help the world's best companies optimize their digital applications, we invite you to explore a career with us!

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 quickly identify, understand and tackle issues, analyze performance and get the most of their software and infrastructure.

Service Levels is one of New Relic's most commercially critical products — it powers SLO compliance and reliability measurement for thousands of customers. We're looking for an experienced Engineering Manager to lead a senior, high-performing team building the next generation of service level management at scale. You'll lead a team that includes lead-level engineers with deep domain expertise, and your value will come from enabling their best work — not directing it. You'll own delivery, quality, and team health while partnering closely with product and design to ship features that directly impact New Relic's commercial momentum.

What you'll do

Lead a full-stack engineering team of 6-8 across backend (Java/Spring Boot) and frontend (React/TypeScript)
Own end-to-end delivery — sprint planning, execution, quality, and release
Set clear expectations, manage performance equitably, and develop engineers at every level
Partner with Product Manager and XD to translate requirements into technically sound, deliverable plans
Drive architectural discussions and hold the team to engineering excellence standards
Identify and remove blockers proactively; surface risks before they become incidents
Build a culture of accountability, transparency, and continuous improvement
Contribute to hiring — own interview loops, assess technical and leadership fit
Mentor and grow engineers toward their next level; build a visible talent pipeline
Operate in an agile, DevOps environment — your team owns what they ship

This role requires

10+ years engineering experience with 2+ years managing engineering teams
Demonstrated experience managing senior individual contributors (P4/Staff level) — coaching, giving feedback, holding the bar
Strong technical foundation in backend systems — Java/Spring Boot or equivalent; ability to engage credibly in architecture discussions
Proven track record of delivering complex projects on time with high quality
Experience with performance management — setting expectations, coaching through gaps, documenting and escalating when needed
Ability to balance technical debt, feature delivery, and team health tradeoffs
Strong communication skills — direct, transparent, effective with engineers and stakeholders alike
Familiarity with modern engineering practices: CI/CD, observability, microservices

Bonus points if you have

Experience with React/TypeScript or full-stack teams
Familiarity with Kafka, GraphQL, or distributed data systems
Exposure to AI-assisted development practices (spec-driven dev, Claude Code, Copilot)
Experience managing teams through significant transitions (new product area, rapid scaling)
Background in observability, SRE, or reliability engineering domains

Why Join Us:

Be part of a forward-thinking team working with cutting-edge technologies in a collaborative environment.

Their experiences and perspectives inspire us to make our products and company the best they can be. We’re looking for people who feel connected to our mission and values, not just candidates who check off all the boxes.
