What this job asks for AI summary
A hybrid role sitting at the intersection of traditional UNIX server administration and cloud-native engineering, focused on maintaining Red Hat Enterprise Linux infrastructure while driving migration of legacy workloads to Azure. Day-to-day work spans building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines, writing Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, Bicep, ARM), managing configuration through tools like Puppet or Ansible, and supporting security and compliance requirements in a hybrid cloud environment. Best suited to experienced UNIX/cloud engineers comfortable operating autonomously across both ops and automation disciplines.

Why we read it this way (7)
The role title is 'UNIX DevOps Cloud Engineer' with no seniority level in the title; advertised seniority is therefore Unspecified.
The experience requirement is tiered by education: 12 years with a HS diploma, 10 years with an AA, or 8 years with a BS. The minimum (8 years with a BS) is used for the overall years minimum; no formal degree is hard-required since the JD accepts equivalent experience at each tier.
SOC classification is a genuine judgment call: the role spans UNIX/Linux server operations (15-1244) and cloud/DevOps automation with IaC and CI/CD pipeline work (15-1252). The emphasis on building and maintaining automated pipelines, IaC (Terraform, ARM, Bicep), and DevSecOps practices tips the primary classification toward Software Developers (15-1252), with Network and Computer Systems Administrators (15-1244) as a close runner-up.
Puppet appears in both the Required scripting list and the Preferred configuration-management list. It is captured once as required (from the Required section), with Ansible and Chef as alternatives per the Preferred section's explicit enumeration.
Azure-specific services (App Services, Key Vault, Storage, Networking, Azure Monitor) are all sub-features of the Azure platform and are consolidated under a single 'Azure' skill per naming rules.
CMMC, NIST 800-171, and NIST 800-53 compliance frameworks are listed under Preferred and are not concrete named technologies; they are omitted from the skills list.
