Enterprise - Senior Application Engineer - Linux, Kubernetes, Ansible

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we need to use

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. We need to parse the posting. Content: - Intro about company: "Erias Ventures was founded to serve its customers with an entrepreneurial mindset..." This is about the company, could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is typical heading for description of role. Could also be "About the company". But we only allowed headings from list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map content accordingly. We have description of role: "We are seeking an Application Engineer to work across multiple hosting platforms supporting Linux VMs..." That's responsibilities. We have bullet-like list of duties: many sentences. We have "Clearance A current Top-Secret/SCI with polygraph security clearance is required." That's a requirement. We have experience requirements: "Twelve (12) years minimum experience and a High School Diploma/GED. Ten (10) years minimum experience and an Associate's Degree. Eight (8) years minimum experience and a Bachelor's Degree. Six (6) years minimum experience and a Master's Degree. Four (4) years minimum experience and a Doctorate's Degree." That's qualifications. We have "Required Skills" list: many bullet-like items. We have "Desired Skills" list. We have "Benefits" section: description of benefits and salary range. We have "Wealth Benefits", "Health Benefits", "Happiness Benefits". Could be under Benefits heading. We have Pay: "The expected salary range for this position, depending on education and years of experience is $237,000 - $262,000." That's Pay. We have Schedule: "This position may allow for partial telework." That's schedule info. We also have referral program etc but that's boilerplate? It's not required but could be considered extra but maybe we can drop as not part of allowed headings? It's not in list; we should drop. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all details. We must not invent or summarize away detail. Must preserve all specifics. We need to use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

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

  About the role

  maybe a short paragraph summarizing role? The posting includes description: "We are seeking an Application Engineer to work across multiple hosting platforms supporting Linux VMs. This position allows you to learn about the product as well as dive deep into area of VM Management/DevOps." That's prose. Then

  Responsibilities

  with
  • each duty. List duties from the description after that paragraph: Let's extract: - Monitoring and managing production Linux VMs - stand-alone VMs and those integrated in a Kubernetes cluster – across multiple hosting platforms - Maintain Ansible playbooks to push out changes to VMs and monitor the Kubernetes clusters through Rancher or Kubernetes commands to ensure the clusters nodes and pods are healthy and running smooth. - Administer, secure, and maintain Linux virtual machines (RHEL 8/9) across multiple cloud platforms (OpenStack, VMware, AWS) - Troubleshoot production Linux VMs and Kubernetes clusters, ensuring node and pod health through Rancher or Kubernetes - Support Apache NiFi deployments—performing configuration updates, monitoring dataflows, and resolving connectivity or resource-related issues - Manage the full certificate lifecycle (server and PKI), ensuring systems meet current security and compliance standards (STIG/SSP) - Perform software updates, patching, and system hardening through YUM and enterprise repositories - Work directly with development teams and end users to deliver operational support ranging from basic configuration changes to complex cluster builds - Analyze logs, troubleshoot performance issues, and identify root causes of VM, container, or application-level problems Also earlier: "Server Certificate life cycle, monitoring VM health status, update software on VMs (manually and through YUM repos), making sure VMs satisfy latest security requirements" but that's covered. We'll include all.

    Requirements

    maybe for clearance? Actually "Clearance A current Top-Secret/SCI with polygraph security clearance is required. Candidates cannot be sponsored or nominated for a government security clearance under this position." That's a requirement. We could put under Requirements.

    Qualifications

    for experience/education combos.

    Skills

    maybe combine Required Skills and Desired Skills? But we have separate headings allowed: Skills. Could include both required and desired as sub-lists? Might be okay to have one Skills section with required and desired subheadings? But we cannot add extra headings not in list. Could embed paragraphs describing required and desired skills within Skills section using

    and

    . Could separate with

    Required Skills:

    then
    etc. That's okay. Alternatively we could have two sections: Skills (required) and maybe another Skills? Not allowed. So we combine. We need to preserve all required skills and desired skills. List required skills: - Troubleshooting experience (VM & application logs & tracking down sources/causes of VM or application issues) - Strong Linux skills (RHEL 8/9) - Experience with Kubernetes, Docker, and Rancher for containerized workloads - Familiarity with Apache NiFi or similar data integration tools - Working knowledge of Ansible for automation and configuration management - Hands-on experience managing VMs in OpenStack, VMware, or AWS - Ability to troubleshoot SSH, performance, and network-related issues in Linux environments - Experience applying security hardening (STIG, STE/STN) and maintaining compliance documentation (SSP) - Experience with network flow monitoring tools - Active Security + Certification - Monitoring and managing production Linux VMs (maybe duplicate but okay) Desired skills: - RedHat certification - Knowledge of Python - MongoDB, Kubernetes (Docker) - Familiar with Riverbed Technology We'll include.

    Benefits

    with subpoints: Wealth Benefits, Health Benefits, Happiness Benefits. Could use

    for each heading? But we cannot add extra headings not in list. However we can embed as

    Wealth Benefits:

    then
    . That's okay. We need to include all benefits details: Wealth Benefits: - Above Market Hourly Pay - 11% Roth or Traditional 401k with Immediate Vesting and Deposit - Spot Bonuses for Assisting with Business Development and Company Growth - Professional Development Bonuses for Certificates and Degrees Health Benefits: - Company subsidized Medical Coverage - 100% Company Paid Vision and Dental Coverage - 100% Company Paid Long Term Disability, Short Term Disability, and Group Life Insurance - Monthly Wellness Reimbursement Happiness Benefits: - Paid Time Off with Flexible Work Schedules and Birthday Off - Amazon Prime Membership and Monthly Internet Reimbursement - Technology and Productivity Allowance for Equipment and Supplies - Morale Building and Company Events to Celebrate our Successes and Build our Community - Onboarding and Annual Swag - Company Paid Professional Development and Training Also salary range: $237,000 - $262,000. That's Pay. Schedule: partial telework. We need Pay and Schedule sections. Thus final HTML:
