The New Relic team is on the fast track – and we’d love you have you on board!
New Relic is looking for a few great Rails developers to fuel our growth as the leader in easy-yet-powerful Rails performance management products. Do you share our passion for Rails? Do you have exceptional talent? Do you like to work hard and have fun? Do have an appetite for the tough job of making performance management easy for the Rails community? If you can say “YES” to all of those, we should talk.
The technical challenges of performance management can be daunting. Fortunately, our core team — led by founder and CEO Lew Cirne — has done it before. Lew founded Wily Technology in 1998, and they became the leader in web application performance management for large enterprises. Now, we’re bringing that expertise to the Rails community.
We have just launched and already the product is getting accolades (see below comments from some of our fans). But there is still a lot of work to be done.
Your job responsibilities? We are small and growing fast. Coming on early, you will have the opportunity to make a big difference in a variety of ways, depending on your skills and interests. We are far more interested in getting great people who can do what needs to be done than cramming someone into an over-specified box.
We expect that you will have several years of commercial Rails experience, have a number of production websites under your belt, know how to get around on linux, and have a love affair with the Mac.
New Relic has offices in Portland and San Francisco, and we are hiring in both locations. New Relic is a Benchmark-funded, pre-IPO company.
What else? We . . .
- Reimburse for 100% of your COBRA (medical/dental/vision) insurance continuation expense
- Provide pre-IPO stock options (backed by top tier VC investment)
- Allow eighteen days of PTO in your first year of employment (and ten more as Holidays)
- Have a flexible work environment and work schedules
- Offer challenging work that will stretch your abilities
- Are most definitely an Equal Opportunity Employer
And if you are attending RailsConf in Portland, come by booth 512 and say hello. Also you can see Lew Cirne (NR’s CEO) in action on Sunday, June 1 @ 10:45am. (his talk: “Dispelling the Myths about Rails Performance”)
