New Relic
Node.js Agent Engineer
Portland, OR
At New Relic, we build amazing tools that provide deep insight into web apps and services. We make sense of billions of metrics about millions of applications, all in real time. Our comprehensive SaaS-based solution for web and mobile applications consolidates performance monitoring data into a single, powerful interface. Our 90,000 customers use New Relic every day to optimize more than three million applications.
One of the platforms we support is Node.js, the event-driven JavaScript framework for high throughput web apps. We build and maintain an “agent” that monitors the Node.js runtime and reports data back to our services. This includes web request timing data, errors, and database transaction details, among other things.
Uptake of New Relic for Node.js has been huge, and we need more people to help us expand to bigger and greater things! We currently are in need of developers with a keen interest in and ability to solve complex challenges in innovative ways. Much of what we do exploits the edges of the JavaScript language and would be considered hairy and evil in other contexts. If you have ever wondered if there are good uses of eval(), this job is for you!
