Re: Pure Ruby Jobs

I'm on the ruby agent team at NewRelic and we need people to write pure
Ruby.

I am required to have knowledge of web frameworks like Rails and Sinatra in
order to serve our customer base but the code I write day to day, and by
far the most important competency for a Ruby Agent Engineer, is Ruby.

My point is that there are plenty of opportunities within web companies to
work outside of a web stack if you so choose. Don't assume that companies
using Rails need every engineer to work with that part of the stack
fulltime.

We're hiring for a Ruby Agent Engineer at NewRelic right now. Email me if
you're curious.
