Working With Rails

Ruby Dev Engineers
Portland OR, San Francisco, CA

Do you like to work hard and have fun? Do you want to be a part of the leading edge of web dev? New Relic is looking for a Dev Engineer with a passion for Ruby and an appetite for the tough job of making performance management easy for the Rails community?

At New Relic we are passionate – possibly even crazy – about Ruby on Rails. Even more so about application performance management. Our mission is to radically improve the performance and scalability of Rails, making web applications run better, making internet users more productive, and making life easier for developers. And the marketplace has responded – we are growing rapidly, exceeding even our own aggressive goals.

New Relic was started a little over year ago by a group of people who have created successful companies before. Our product, RPM™ was introduced in May of ’08, and since then we have been growing by about several hundred customers a month. RPM is very easy to install and use and gives a lot of value to our customers. You can go to our website to read some of their comments about RPM.

You will be joining a unique team. People who succeed at New Relic have a sense of urgency, a lot of initiative, a commitment to customer success, an enthusiasm about pushing the edge . . . and a good sense of humor. We provide interesting work, a great product, new things to learn, and the freedom to make the job work the way only you can do it.

Working in this role you will
• Work with our customers – Ruby web developers – to quickly address problems using our products
• Show those customers how to use our products to better solve their problems – and to solve problems they didn’t even know they had!
• Identify, replicate and document bugs

To be considered seriously, you will have
• At least three years of real dev experience, some in Agile/test-driven environment
• Built several commercial RoR applications (specific sites are expected)
• Strength in all of the Rails fundamentals (routing, active record, active resource, migrations)
• Solid knowledge of SQL and database optimization
• Good knowledge of HTML (CSS a plus)
• Interaction Design skills a plus as well

And New Relic will provide:

• Great benefits (100% of costs of individual medical/dental/vision/life)
• Pre-IPO stock options, backed by top-tier VC investment
• Eighteen days of paid time off in your first year (AND 10 paid holidays)
• Flexible work environment and schedules
• Work that will challenge your capabilities
