Suits a seasoned Linux administrator with deep roots in physical infrastructure rather than cloud-native or CI/CD engineering.

Why we read it this way (7)
The posting explicitly states this is NOT a DevOps/cloud-native or CI/CD-focused role; the primary requirement is deep, hands-on traditional Linux infrastructure and bare metal expertise.
Red Hat and SUSE are listed as 'preferred' alongside the hard-required Ubuntu, so they are marked preferred with each other as alternatives.
Kubernetes, VMware/KVM, Ansible, and AWS/Azure all appear under the 'Nice to Have' section.
No years-of-experience figure is stated at the role level, though the language ('highly experienced', 'expert-level', 'years running enterprise Linux environments') strongly implies a senior practitioner.
The alt SOC (15-1252 Software Developers) is noted only because Bash and Python scripting are required; however, the dominant day-to-day work is clearly infrastructure operations, making 15-1244 the right primary code.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): bare metal server administration.
