About Castle Rock Associates

Castle Rock Associates is an industry leader in developing software for transportation agencies across North America and Europe. Our software includes real-time websites, mobile apps, and phone systems that deliver real-time, human-centered 511 traveler information to the public and other agencies—including unplanned road closures, long-term work zone reports, winter road condition updates, live camera feeds, snowplow locations, and more.

We’ve been in this industry for over 40 years, but we’ve remained a small (~30 people), focused, and highly productive team with a suite of successful products that we continue to grow and develop with our clients.

At the heart of our business is our 24/7/365 DevOps support team. This team deploys, maintains, and monitors our systems in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud, ensuring they run reliably around the clock. An on-call rotation is in place to address technical issues as they arise. Our clients consistently tell us our customer service is unmatched in the industry.

The Opportunity

We’re looking for a hands‑on DevOps Engineer who is eager to deepen their technical expertise and provide excellent customer support to our clients. This is a technical role from day one — you’ll work directly in AWS, deploy and maintain services, and help solve challenging problems.

If you thrive on variety, enjoy working on a small but mighty team, and want a hands‑on technical role, this is the place for you.

Why This Role Is Great for You

• You like wearing many hats — you’ll work across AWS, automation, deployments, troubleshooting, and even client interactions.
• You’ll see your impact every day — in a small team, your work directly influences uptime, client satisfaction, and product success.
• You get to build, not just maintain — you'll support the deployment of new infrastructure and tools and the rebuilding legacy systems across a variety of platforms.

What You’ll Do Now

• Collaborate with the CTO and DevOps team to support deployments, monitoring, and maintenance of our AWS-based systems.
• Deploy and verify software updates across Java, Node.js, and other platforms.
• Triage and troubleshoot software and network issues.
• Automate processes to make operations faster and more reliable.
