About the role

  • Systems Investigator managing diverse applications at Contour Software, ensuring performance and stability across platforms. Collaborating with teams to diagnose issues and automate services.

Responsibilities

  • Provide deep-tier support for applications running on both Windows Server (2016–2022) and Linux (RHEL/Ubuntu/CentOS).
  • Maintain and tune the "connective tissue" of our apps, including IIS, Apache, and Tomcat.
  • Diagnose failures within Java (JRE/JDK) and ASP.NET environments.
  • Reverse-engineer the dependencies of legacy applications.
  • Understand the application and OS dependencies so that upgrades can be performed (in-place or migration) while keeping applications responsive.
