[New Relic] Senior Android Engineer

New Relic
Senior Android Engineer
Portland, Oregon


New Relic’s Mobile SDKs do something unique: they monitor application code as it runs on millions of end-user devices and show app developers where and why the app isn’t performing as expected.  If vague reports of app slowness and errors have ever driven you mad, you know the problem we’re solving. This is your chance to learn how Android APIs really work. You’ll build tools that mobile developers rely on every day to diagnose and tune their apps based on real production data, not guesses.

To work this magic, you will keep up with the latest trends in app development and explore the undocumented details of OS APIs and runtime environments.

At New Relic you’ll have the opportunity to:
  • Attend or host meet-ups,
  • Speak at conferences,
  • Blog about your work and what excites you, and
  • Invent the future.
Along with the fun comes serious work:
  • Learn the hidden differences between the Java, Dalvik, and ART runtimes,
  • Explore bytecode and JNI, and
  • Make time to check out new mobile platforms that everyone is just discovering.
Our small Mobile team owns the full stack, ensuring that the billions of metrics we collect every day make it to our servers and onto the screen with just the right presentation. We are inspired by lean startup and agile principles and believe every team member can accomplish great things. You’ll work with seriously talented and friendly engineers that love mobile and their teammates; people who will help you do the best work of your life every day.

Your code will run on hundreds of millions of devices inside of applications you don’t control. You’ll need to have creativity and gumption along with a natural curiosity for how software works. We expect you to be proud to ship great features while taking reliability, software craftsmanship, and developer experience seriously.  

Keys to success
  • History of shipping things that matter to customers
  • Desire to collaborate with others and know how developers use your product
  • Experience building, shipping, and supporting Android applications
  • Interest in new languages, platforms, and ideas

Bonus points for expertise in Objective-C, Android-flavored Java, JNI/NDK, other mobile platforms, concurrency, networking, power management, shipped mobile apps, and mobile SDK experience. But we already know you’re a fast learner, so don’t worry if you’ve still got something to learn.

To apply

Kindly provide a cover letter telling us who you are and why this job, this product, and this company are the place for you, along with a resume that includes links to things you’re proud to have built!

We take the time to seriously consider all applicants. Please return the favor by being familiar with New Relic Mobile and telling us how you want to improve the product.
