Job position
Permanent

Job description
Interested in how language VMs are implemented? Want to learn how to extend them to do amazing things? If so, join us in building New Relic's PHP agent.

Agents are challenging to work on, and many of the things most projects take for granted don't apply. Our projects are popular and widely deployed, running in hundreds of thousands of applications worldwide. Our code must coexist with a diverse set of libraries and versions, and gracefully handle error conditions outside of our direct control. Having a strong programming background is important, but there are a lot of advanced platform-specific techniques that can be learned on the job. Deep knowledge of PHP and the LAMP stack is cool, but not necessary.

We are a community of engineers who love playing around with the intricacies of programming languages, and who like solving tricky problems. We understand that engineering is all about balancing trade-offs, and about compromise. We support each other in a dynamic landscape in order to understand how to provide the most value to our customers.

Benefits

• A supportive environment

• A sane work schedule

• Matching 401k contributions

• On-site bike mechanic

• Big company health insurance (medical, dental, vision, life)

New Relic is most decidedly an equal opportunity employer. We eagerly seek applicants of diverse background and hire without regard to race, color, gender, religion, national origin, ancestry, citizenship, individuals with disabilities, age, sexual orientation, protected veterans, or any other characteristic protected by law. Note: Our stewardship of the data of many thousands of customers means that a criminal background check is required to join New Relic.

Skills & requirements
• Systems programming (or similar) in C or Go

• Debugging skills (gdb)

• Performance/profiling experience

• Writing web apps and services

• Success working on a small team

• Automated testing and code analysis
