** Hybrid | 3 day/wk | New York, NY**
The Application Performance Management (APM) Engineer will be responsible to perform integration in the application performance management / web infrastructure space, on Windows & Java platforms, requiring coding experience. Given the overall requirement to better integrate the teams, close collaboration with other engineering teams is also a key component of the role. This will require a broad exposure to various technologies along with a deep technical knowledge (specifically in the web, infrastructure, and network space). This position will provide APM engineer and data analytics expertise to configure and operate the infrastructure that enables observability of critical application systems.
Due to client requirement, applicants must be willing and able to work on a w2 basis. For our w2 consultants, we offer a great benefits package that includes Medical, Dental, and Vision benefits, 401k with company matching, and life insurance.
Rate: $60 - $70 / hr. w2
Responsibilities:
- Drive improved systems reliability, availability and performance in a multi-cloud environment by operating observability platform tools that expose views and data to application teams to detect anomalies and make informed decisions.
- Install and configure agents, APIs, performance monitoring tool alerts, dashboards, and data trend analysis in Datadog
- Identifying performance bottlenecks, identifying anomalous system behavior, and resolving root cause of service issues
- Create and maintain documentation, videos and other content utilized within the observability team, and also as training and guidance for engineering team consumers
