Job opening - Python Agent Engineer at New Relic (Portland, OR)

New Relic is growing our Python agent team -- a key component for our world’s-best app performance monitoring tool. If you know how to pronounce Django, Gunicorn and WSGI, we're interested.  If you use them while telling us about your recent projects, we're really, really interested.  And if you named your first child GIL . . . you are going to the head of the line.


We’re a pre-IPO start-up, so of course we’re looking for people with top-notch software design and coding skills, and people who work well in a distributed team. And we’re an agile organization, so we’re looking for people who have “agile” in their DNA: people who do continuous integration and find creative ways to test complex systems. Our product is dead simple for our users -- which of course means it is complex behind the screen.  So you will do well if you have experience designing and building large, complex software systems.


To fast track your resume, summarize in your cover letter what you have done with:



  • WSGI programming and application deployment

  • Asynchronous web programming (Twisted.Web, Tornado)

  • Porting code to Python 3.X and PyPy

  • Python C extension modules

  • Python packaging systems

  • Python decorators and monkey patching

  • Python profilers and debuggers


We want to hear about your direct experience with these (or similar) technologies. What did you do and when did you do it? And, if you really want the job, tell us why you think you are a great fit for this team and this great company!
