It suits an experienced DevOps or platform engineer with strong Kubernetes and Linux production experience.

Why we read it this way (8)
The role title is 'Application Support DevOps Engineer' with no seniority level in the title; advertised seniority is Unspecified. The 5+ years requirement and end-to-end platform ownership scope support a Senior classification.
SOC classification is Medium confidence. The role builds CI/CD pipelines, custom Docker/VM images, and automation tooling (15-1252 Software Developers), but also has a substantial infrastructure operations component — managing Kubernetes clusters, Linux servers, networking, and patching — that could point to 15-1244. The primary deliverables (custom images, pipelines, IaC) tip the balance toward 15-1252.
The posting lists '#LI-Hybrid' but specifies no single office location; the salary range covers 'all US locations.' No specific CBSA could be determined.
Python and Go are listed as 'at least one of Python or Go' — Python is named first and is the more common choice; Go is captured as an alternative.
Packer and cloud-init are listed as equivalent options for creating reproducible VM images under the required qualifications; Packer is named first.
GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and Jenkins are listed as interchangeable CI/CD pipeline tools under the required qualifications section, but the phrasing 'or similar' and the enumeration of multiple options make any single one non-exclusive — captured as preferred with alternatives.
Rancher, RKE2, EKS, AKS, and GKE are explicitly called out as 'a plus' in the requirements section, so they are marked preferred.
The Bonus section lists Terraform/Ansible, KubeVirt/Harvester, GPU workloads, session streaming/VDI, SAML/OIDC, and regulated environments (FedRAMP, HIPAA, PCI) — all marked preferred. cert-manager is mentioned in the 'What You'll Do' narrative (not a requirements gate) and is marked preferred.
