• Consolidate away from NewRelic into Datadog as subject matter experts assisting swathes of other engineering teams

Where you can make an impact:

• Provide a central, well-documented set of reusable tools and practices that reflect the best way to write software in Python and Go within our culture.
• Make it frictionless to create, deploy, and manage services for the organization.
• Develop and maintain NerdWallet’s self-service approach for our engineering teams.
