New Relic Career Growth & Development

New Relic Employee Perspectives

New Relic gives engineers opportunities to grow through both technical ownership and leadership beyond their core roles. Senior Software Engineer Rachel Bayersdorfer has contributed to critical database services while also building leadership and community experience through peer mentorship circles and employee events.

“Working for New Relic has led me to some of the best moments of my career so far. Not only am I doing critical engineering work on the services which are the front door to NRDB, a large, custom, concurrent database, but I also have led multiple Lean In/Peer Mentorship circles and organized events such as an annual Engineering Olympics and a Holiday Card Swap to foster community across our distributed organization. The engineering work that I do as a Senior Software Engineer at New Relic is exciting, rewarding and I’m proud of the work I do.”

New Relic Employee Reviews

Since becoming global co-chair of Rainbow Relics in 2023, I’ve had the incredible opportunity to collaborate with passionate colleagues from all over the world, while growing my leadership skills. Engaging directly with the leadership team here at New Relic to advocate for and represent our community has been a deeply rewarding experience.

Lisa Banks, Senior Marketing Communications Manager

One of my biggest highlights this year was transitioning from a Senior Talent Acquisition Coordinator to a People Operations Partner. After over four years of supporting the Talent Acquisition team, I've truly enjoyed tackling new challenges and applying my experience in this new role, allowing me to drive strategic impact within a different part of the People team and the wider business.
