Job description

Company: Contour Data Solutions, LLC

Role: DevOps Engineer – Contour Cloud

Location: Remote / Hybrid (US‑based preferred)

Department: Cloud & Infrastructure Engineering

Reports To: Head of Engineering / Infrastructure/Cloud

Salary Range: $150K-$200K

Role Overview

Contour Data Solutions is seeking a DevOps Engineer to support and evolve Contour Cloud, our private and hybrid cloud platform, and to work closely with the Cinch Software development team on cloud orchestration and platform automation.

This role sits at the intersection of cloud infrastructure, software development, network engineering, and storage platforms, with a heavy emphasis on Linux-based systems, virtualization, automation, and observability. The ideal candidate is hands‑on, infrastructure‑first, and comfortable bridging development and operations in a production cloud environment.

Key Responsibilities

Cloud & Platform Engineering

• Design, deploy, and maintain Linux‑based cloud infrastructure supporting ContourCloud workloads
• Build and automate cloud deployments, platform services, and infrastructure workflows through scripting and code
• Support and enhance virtualization platforms, with a primary focus on Xen/XCP‑ng; VMware, NSX and vSphere experience
• Build, deploy, and maintain physical and virtual server platforms

Cinch Software Integration

• Work daily with Cinch Software to enable cloud orchestration and automation
• Ensure reliable cloud deployments and management workflows
• Improve integration between software‑driven automation and infrastructure real‑time operations

DevOps & Automation

• Collaborate closely with the Cinch Software development team to support cloud orchestration, platform integration, deployment automation, and Infrastructure‑as‑Code–style workflows
• Develop and maintain automation using scripting and programming languages (e.g., Bash, Python, Go, etc.)
• Improve deployment consistency, reliability, and repeatability across environments

Networking & IP Management

• Work directly with the Network Engineering team on IP address management (IPAM), network provisioning and lifecycle, and cloud and data center network integration
• Leverage NetBox for IPAM, DCIM, and infrastructure modeling

Monitoring, Observability & Operations

• Implement and maintain monitoring and observability platforms including Zabbix for infrastructure monitoring and Grafana for visualization and dashboards
• Assist in capacity planning, performance tuning, and fault analysis
• Participate in platform reliability and operational readiness initiatives

Storage & Systems

• Design, build, and maintain server and storage platforms, including ZFS‑based storage architectures and TrueNAS (Core or SCALE) platforms
• Support data integrity, performance, and scalability requirements across cloud and customer environments

Required Skills & Experience

• Strong Linux systems administration experience (required)
• Proven experience with scripting and automation, infrastructure or platform engineering in production environments
• Hands‑on experience with Xen virtualization, XCP‑ng (preferred), VMware NSX & vSphere

Experience Working With

• NetBox (IPAM / DCIM)
• Zabbix
• Grafana

Experience Building And Supporting

• Physical servers
• Virtual infrastructure
• ZFS‑based storage platforms
• TrueNAS

Ability to work cross‑functionally with

• Software development teams
• Network engineering teams
• Infrastructure and operations teams

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in private cloud or MSP environments
• Familiarity with cloud orchestration and self‑service platform design
• Understanding of DevOps best practices across infrastructure and application lifecycles
• Strong documentation and communication skills
• Experience supporting multi‑tenant or customer‑facing platforms

How This Role Is Different

• Not a pure CI/CD or app DevOps role
• Not isolated infrastructure engineering
• This is a platform DevOps role, tightly coupled to product-driven cloud orchestration (Cinch), real production infrastructure, networking, storage, and observability

Why Contour Cloud?

• Work on a real, production private cloud platform
• Direct impact on cloud architecture, automation, and platform design
• Tight collaboration with product development around Cinch Software
• Engineering‑first culture with deep infrastructure expertise
