DevOps Engineer - Costco Travel

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description about Costco Travel IT, culture, etc. We need to use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections when posting has real specific content. We have content for About the role (intro paragraph). Responsibilities: many bullet points. Requirements: list of required experience. Qualifications: maybe recommended experience? Could combine. Skills: maybe list of skills. Benefits: described. Pay: given ranges. Schedule: not mentioned (no schedule info). So omit Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: EEO, legal, accommodation, proof of authorization, etc. Also remove "Required Documents Cover LetterResume California applicants..." etc. Also remove "Costco is committed to a diverse and inclusive workplace." etc. Also remove "If you need assistance..." etc. Also remove "If hired, you will be required to provide proof..." etc. Also remove "Costco is an equal opportunity employer." etc. Also remove "Qualified applicants will receive consideration..." etc. Also remove "Costco Travel IT is responsible for the technical future..." that's part of About the role. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to keep description about Costco Travel IT, culture, etc. Keep responsibilities list. Keep required experience list. Keep recommended experience list? Might be under Qualifications or Skills. We'll decide. We need to use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

  for prose. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's craft sections:

  Wait need to copy exactly: "Collaborates with Operations, Development, and QA functions to develop solutions that are predisposed to scalability and simplified maintenance." Let's ensure correct. We need to extract each bullet from the responsibilities paragraph. Let's list them: - Develops and operates end-to-end automated solutions for IT ops activities (including deployment, release management, monitoring, etc.). - Collaborates with Operations, Development, and QA functions to develop solutions that are predisposed to scalability and simplified maintenance. - Configures and maintains on-premises and Azure cloud infrastructure to ensure availability, performance, scalability and security of development, testing and production environments, relying on automated scripts and configuration management tools. - Creates, and manages Infrastructure as Code (IaC). - Maintains, extends and builds automated CI and CD pipelines. - Demonstrates expertise in the deployment of integrated or standalone releases across multiple interconnected and disperse applications. - Uses industry standard tools to improve and speed up delivery of our products and services. - Provides fast and thoughtful issue resolution by executing quick fixes or proactively identifying and solving problems related to builds in production environments. - Creates the pipeline to periodically generate code quality metrics. - Drives each team to be self-sufficient by providing tools and training and brings different teams together to work towards common goals. - Coordinates resources across technology functions to stand up and monitor environments. - Configures and automates development and test environment, deployment, automation and support test data management. - Establishes workflows that use the automated pipelines for CI and CD. - Works closely with product and application teams to create version control branching strategy. - Works cross-value streams with other DevOps Engineers to avoid and resolve merge conflicts. - Develops tool integrations that allow for end to end traceability for application development (from requirements to code objects changed to meet the requirements). - Handles the deployment, administration, maintenance, and operation of production, testing, and development environments. - Troubleshoots and resolves issues in our development, testing, and production environments. - Supports and improves our tools for continuous integration, streamlines our operations, processes, and releases management. - Takes initiative by staying up to date with tools and technologies to increase efficiency and reliability of CI/CD, as well as being involved with their administration and maintenance. - Participates in meetings as required adding value as a subject matter expert when and where required. - Provides training and documentation to others as needed or required. - Provides 24/7 On-Call support as part of a scheduled rotation with other team members. - Serves as an escalation resource.

  • . Now Requirements: list of required experience. From text: Required 4+ years’ working in a Microsoft Server OS environment (Windows 2012 R2 or higher). 2+ years of Development Operations / System Administration experience. 1+ years’ supporting an E-commerce environment. 1+ years’ experience using configuration management tools such as Puppet, Chef, or equivalent. 1+ years’ experience using CI/CD pipeline tools such as Jenkins or Travis. 1+ years’ using scripting/programming languages such as Java, Ruby, Perl, Ant, PowerShell, etc. 1+ years with Linux, preferably CentOS or RHEL, administration. Experience with version control (GIT). Experience working in an Agile, Scrum or Kanban environment. We'll put each as
  • . Now Qualifications: maybe "Recommended Experience" list? Could treat as Qualifications. The posting includes "Recommended Experience with Webserver setup, configuring, and maintenance." Also "BA/BS Computer Science or Engineering degree or equivalent work experience." Also many other recommended items: Experience with OS hardening and performance tuning. Skilled with containers and container orchestration (e.g. Kubernetes). Demonstrated ability with application performance monitoring tools such as Dynatrace, Splunk, New Relic. Experience with high availability and scalable infrastructures. Extensive background with Microsoft SQL or other relational databases. Familiarity with software-defined networking and storage, IP networking, VPNs, DNS, load balancers, and firewalls. Familiarity with a PaaS or IaaS platform for private clouds, such as VMware, OpenStack, CloudFoundry. Experience in regulated environments (e.g. PCI, SOX). Experience with Azure or other cloud providers. Excellent organizational and communication skills. Proficient in Google Workspace applications, including Sheets, Docs, Slides, and Gmail. We could put these under Qualifications or Skills. The instruction says use headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to decide what goes where. Usually Qualifications: education, certifications. Skills: technical skills. Let's allocate: Qualifications: - BA/BS Computer Science or Engineering degree or equivalent work experience. - Experience working in an Agile, Scrum or Kanban environment (maybe also under Requirements but we already have it there; but we can keep it under Requirements as required; but it's also listed under Required? Actually it's under Required? It appears after Linux line: "Experience with version control (GIT). Experience working in an Agile, Scrum or Kanban environment." That is under Required? The block after Linux line seems still part of Required? The formatting: after Linux line, there is a period then "Experience with version control (GIT). Experience working in an Agile, Scrum or Kanban environment." It's still under Required? The heading "Required" appears before those lines. So yes, it's required. So we keep Agile under Requirements. Thus Qualifications: education only? Could also include "Experience with OS hardening and performance tuning." but that's more skill. Let's put education under Qualifications. Skills: all other recommended technical skills. Thus:

    each item? Could be a single
    • with the list. But instruction: use
