DevOps Engineer

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The posting includes many details. We need to parse content: - Intro: "We are seeking a DevOps Engineer to support our enterprise-scale platform as a service (PaaS). This role is responsible for ensuring dependable daily operation, providing direct customer/tenant support (up to and including Tier 3), evolving & improving platform components, meeting security requirements, and deploying scalable solutions that balance performance and cost within our 6+ multitenant clusters. Active Top Secret security clearance required. The ideal candidate will have a BS degree in Information Technology or related field with 3-5 years of experience in Kubernetes platforms, container orchestration, and cloud-based platform deployments, particularly in C2S, GovCloud, or similar isolated environments. This position will be performed on site at a customer location in St. Louis, MO. We are actively considering candidates with a planned October 2026 start date." That's about the role. Then "What You'll Need to Succeed:" bullet list of responsibilities? Actually it's a list of abilities: Communicate effectively..., Excel in juggling..., Demonstrate expertise..., The ability to replace..., Enable PaaS tenants..., Design systems..., Proven ability..., Tenacity... These are responsibilities/skills. Then "Must-haves in a Candidate:" list: U.S. Citizenship, B.S. in Information Technology or related field, 3+ years of experience in managing/administrating Kubernetes clusters..., 1+ years of experience with AWS (preferred), Azure, or GCP..., 1+ years of experience with Infrastructure as Code tooling..., 1+ years of experience with scripting languages like Python and Bash, Familiarity with security compliance tools..., Familiarity with Agile development framework, Hands-on experience with CI/CD tools such as Gitlab CI and ArgoCD. Then "Nice to Have in a Candidate:" list: Experience administrating multitenant OpenShift clusters, Experience with Crossplane or similar service layer abstraction tooling, Experience working as part of a Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe)-based organization, Familiarity with networking security and enterprise processes for Firewall Change Requests (FCRs), Security Impact Determinations (SIDRs), and Change Requests in ServiceNow workflow systems. Then "Details: Work is in person - on site at our customer location in St. Louis, MO. Top Secret security clearance is required" Then "About Awetomaton" description. Then "Benefits" list. We need sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide what goes where. - About the role: intro paragraph describing role responsibilities, location, clearance, start date. - Responsibilities: maybe the "What You'll Need to Succeed:" list (these are more like expectations/skills). Could also be responsibilities: ensuring dependable daily operation, providing direct customer/tenant support, evolving & improving platform components, meeting security requirements, deploying scalable solutions. Those are in intro. But we can split. Better: Use "Responsibilities" for the bullet list of duties: ensuring dependable daily operation, providing direct customer/tenant support (up to Tier 3), evolving & improving platform components, meeting security requirements, deploying scalable solutions that balance performance and cost within our 6+ multitenant clusters. Also maybe enabling tenants to onboard, design systems for auditability, automate workflows, etc. Those are more like responsibilities. "Requirements" could be the must-haves: US Citizenship, BS degree, 3+ years Kubernetes experience, 1+ years AWS/Azure/GCP, 1+ years IaC, 1+ years scripting, familiarity with security compliance tools, familiarity with Agile, hands-on CI/CD. "Qualifications" could be education and experience: BS degree, 3-5 years experience, etc. But we already have similar. Might combine. "Skills" could be the technical skills: Kubernetes, container orchestration, cloud platforms, IaC, scripting, CI/CD, security compliance tools, Agile, etc. "Benefits": we have the benefits list. "Pay": not mentioned. So we should NOT include Pay section. "Schedule": not mentioned besides "Work is in person - on site". No schedule details. So we should NOT include Schedule. Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits. We need to ensure we don't create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have real content. We must preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can reorganize into sections. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID/requisition numbers. We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. There's none explicit besides maybe "We are actively considering candidates with a planned October 2026 start date." That's substantive. We need to include the About Awetomaton description somewhere. Could be part of About the role or maybe a separate "About the company" but not in allowed headings. Since only allowed headings are those list, we could put company description under About the role or maybe under Responsibilities? Better to include in About the role as part of role description. We must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep specifics like "Flexible time off totaling 36 days / year. No approvals required." etc. We must not include "Top Secret security clearance required" multiple times; we can include once. Let's extract all substantive points: Intro: - Seeking DevOps Engineer to support enterprise-scale PaaS. - Responsible for: ensuring dependable daily operation, providing direct customer/tenant support (up to Tier 3), evolving & improving platform components, meeting security requirements, deploying scalable solutions that balance performance and cost within 6+ multitenant clusters. - Active Top Secret security clearance required. - Ideal candidate: BS degree in IT or related field with 3-5 years experience in Kubernetes platforms, container orchestration, cloud-based platform deployments, particularly in C2S, GovCloud, or similar isolated environments. - Position performed on site at customer location in St. Louis, MO. - Actively considering candidates with planned October 2026 start date. What You'll Need to Succeed (list): - Communicate effectively in both written and verbal form with peers & decision makers. - Excel in juggling deliverables across multiple efforts in parallel within an Agile framework. - Demonstrate expertise in software delivery to DoD public cloud regions (C2S / GovCloud) and Kubernetes platforms. - The ability to replace operational tasks with automated workflows, GitOps pipelines, and self‑service tooling. - Enable PaaS tenants to onboard smoothly, adopt best practices, and experience reduced friction in deploying and operating workloads. - Design systems and platform components to maximize auditability, traceability, and real‑time observability. - Proven ability to automate complex, multi‑step workflows and operational processes to reduce toil and increase reliability. - Tenacity when tackling system security and compliance requirements.

Benefit is above and beyond 401k match. - MacBook laptop and well-equipped office spaces for optimal productivity in office and on-the-go. We need to ensure we don't duplicate info. For example, Top Secret clearance appears in intro and details; we can mention once. We need to avoid repeating "BS degree" etc. We'll structure:
