Data Operations Jobs in Colorado (NOW HIRING)

About the role

At Evio, DevOps Engineers support both software development and operational execution in a product‑centric, small‑company environment. This role blends hands‑on development with runtime operations and ownership of recurring product data ingestion cycles that are critical to Evio's platforms. This ensures we can improve the systems that drive our products and continually enhance how we deliver them.

This is not a traditional infrastructure‑heavy DevOps role. The Evio DevOps Engineer operates within an existing cloud and application environment, focusing on reliability, deployments, monitoring, and the successful execution of data operations that directly impact product outcomes, rather than building infrastructure from scratch.
