The role is posted for two locations — Richmond, VA (primary) and Cayce, SC — with a hybrid alternate-week in-person schedule; it is not fully remote. Richmond, VA is used as the primary CBSA.
The 6+ years experience requirement is stated twice: once at the role level ('6+ years in DevOps/Platform Engineering/SRE/Systems Engineering') and once tied specifically to Kubernetes/OpenShift ('6+ years of hands-on experience deploying applications on Kubernetes/OpenShift'). The role-level figure is captured in total years; the Kubernetes-specific figure is reflected in the years demanded on that skill.
ARO (Azure Red Hat OpenShift) and ROSA (Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS) appear in the responsibilities section describing platforms to support, not in the required qualifications block — treated as preferred.
A Bachelor's degree is listed as 'Preferred' and the JD explicitly states an equivalent combination of education and experience may be accepted in lieu of it, so the degree requirement is set to None.
The SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role writes and ships automation code (IaC, CI/CD pipelines, GitOps) consistent with 15-1252 Software Developers, but also has a significant infrastructure operations and administration dimension that could support 15-1244. The primary day-to-day work of building pipelines, automation frameworks, and platform tooling tips the classification toward 15-1252.
